RAMBO Knives?

I've always wanted one ever since I was a little kid. However I don't think I can bring myself to spend nearly $100.00 on a United Cutlery piece of crap. I will pay top dollar for a Gil Hibben made original though! If I can find one of course (yeah right :rolleyes:).
 
I checked craigslist a few days ago for a rambo knife, and saw two buckmasters for sale. Today i went back to see how much they wanted and they were gone. Bummer
 
Those Buckmasters can be pretty pricey if you go by the ebay listings. I would have never dreamed some of the prices.
 
Seems to me that the Apparo is the best bet if you're budget-minded. Seems pretty solid from what I've seen, too.
 
Heres a Rambo knife from the second movie. Does anyone know if this brand is any good. It's awfully cheap and seems a little sketchy.
 
Back in the early 1980's when Rambo came out, Jimmy Lile made an addition numbered of 100 knives from the movie. I think there was three made for the movie, Stallone got one. The 100 were the same knives, just not used. I had a chance.....well many chances over a few months to buy one from a gun shop in Los Angeles called Pony Express. They had three and sold for $1500 each. I had the money, but could not justify the amount for a knife when a Colt AR-15 was around $400. I read that one of those sold recently for $20k.

My bad, i lost the link. I did see the hibben version of the Rambo three knife. Does anyone know if that one is any good? It too seems to be a collectors. It doesn't look like ill find an abusable rambo-type knife in my price range.
 
Here are 2 of the 3 Buckmasters I own. The third one is used and abused, but keep it at my cabin and do not have pictures of it.

The Jimmy Lile First Blood knife, he made 13 of the out of 100 that had 14 teeth. 6 to Stallone for the movie ( which I heard were in pieces and Jimmy kept the other #7-13 for himself.) The remaining #14-100 contained only 12 teeth sawbacks were for public sale. #7-13 of 100 are worth about $20-30k? Some may have even been bought for $50k? Not sure how much theyve gone for but you dont see em for sale at all.

I'm getting a Gil Hibben Limited Edition Handmade Rambo III #83 of 350 today or tomorrow. I'll post pics up. I paid a decent amount for this blade. Im looking for a Rambo IV # of 100 machete/knive.

Well Gil Hibben is still an active maker and I dare to say a very nice person.
