Rambo IV knife on pré-order

If it was heat treated right, I think it'd be a pretty rad camp blade. But worth maybe $40 and not $1250... I guess that's whey they're called collectors items.
 
looks like a walmart special thats been left outdoors.what a joke.1250 dollars can buy alot of good weapons instead of a oversize kitchen knife
 
I once wanted a replica Kill Bill movie Katana but I couldn't figure out if they were all just a piece of shit or not so I gave up on that idea. After watching that PBS Nova episode on Katanas I now think just about any Katana I can afford is gonna be a piece of shit.:([/QUOTE]


ROTFLMAO :D


Sag.
 
It looks like a piece of scrap metal. And the price said like $1250.00 not $1500.00, at least from what I saw. For that price, I could get a lifetime supply of bubble gum. Oh, JAXX...thats a totally badass knife you got there! S30V??? Better watch out for CHIPPING!!!! jk....I wish I had one of those...totally sweet.
 
in the movie, where does stallone order his d2 from in the middle of the jungle? does he use ups, fed ex, etc...? does he insure mail? why doesn't he just order a knife? oooops, it's a movie!!! still a way ugly thing! all you folks who like it, put your money where your mouth is and buy one! hahahahahaha!!!
 
Oh Please.... my Thai Enep forged in the jungles of Thailand can do the same chopping at a fraction of the cost..

I would not by that... PERIOD
 
I think I built one that looked like that out of an old F150 ('76 if I remember right) leaf spring. Hell of a deal at half the price, trust me,:D.

But I guess Sly can afford to be lazy and farm work like that out. Yeah, I know, it's a "collecter item" and anyone else can collect it.
 
Man, that's a quick and nasty knife to make. Should work good as a "cutting comp" style knife though.

Shame about the price, I think $350-$500 is more realistic. For the $1250 pricetag, I don't think many people are going to buy it and go chop something with it. You can get a Des Roziers or Knight for that price.

I doubt that it will be as popular as Lile's First Blood knife. That thing was a step forward. This is a step back.

I'm waiting for the United version in 420J2. Not! I already own some good machetes.
 
I thought this post was a joke at first. I have no doubt that it will be a nice knife, but better buy it to use as it won't bring anything close to $1250 on the resale market. IMHO, I doubt it would bring $500. Sides ... isn't Stallone a little long in the tooth to play Rambo again ?? :cool:
 
It was intended as a joke! I can't believe Hibben markets a primitive blade lookalike in D2 steel and some wire for 1250$
And if John Rambo forged it himself it would be in 1095 , or some other spring steel he retrieved from a broken down truck or car instead of D2.
Either you make a fancy limited edition custom for that $$$, like some of the Busses or other high end customs, or you make a faithfull copy of the blade the character could have used IRL.

I know Hibben designed the famous Rambo knives and he should get credit for it.
I think it would be even reasonable to pay that price for the actual movieprop.


But not for that amount and those #

Of course people will buy this knife solely as a form of investment, and couldn't care less if it was made from Tombac...

In my initial vieuwing of the webpage, the price was 1500$, i don't know why the price dropped to 1250?

Is Mr Hibben watching these pages? :rolleyes:
 
If the world and economy ever go to hell in a hand basket a knife will be worth what its worth as a cutting tool. High priced knives are a luxury and may be worth a can of beans in a depression. Way back when you could get a Grand piano for five pounds of potatoes, however nobody needed a piano.
