When I was a kid in the 80's, I was nuts for Rambo (like many of you, I would guess...) but I was not old enough (at least by my parents' standards) to own and wield a knife around. So when my cousin pulled me into his room to show me his Rambo III knife in 1990...I knew I had to get one of my own! By the time I was in college in the mid-90's, I forked out the big moolah to buy an original <!--coloro:#008000<span style=\"color:#008000\"><!--/coloro<i>First Blood</i> <b>Rambo </b>Knife replica<!--colorc</span><!--/colorc, as the original film is still my favorite of the series. I've owned it for years and it has always been one of my fav pieces in my collection. Anyways, I've always longed for the Part II knife and Part III knife as well. Just to complete the collection, you know?Well, I finally forked out the cash for the Part II knife - shown below in all it's glory. It's a major score in my heart, as I am getting jittery with the release of the new film a little over a month away!!! Perhaps by summer, I'll own a Part III knife as well. Stay tuned!For those of you unfamiliar with the knife, it is approx. 16" long, with a corded handle, compass in the end knob and survival kit embedded within the handle (fishing line, hooks, matches, fire starting paper, etc...) Stallone, who is a major custom knife collector and enthusiast, had a major part in helping design the knife with famous Knife designer Jimmy Lile.<!--sizeo:3<span style=\"font-size:12pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo<!--fonto:Arial Black<span style=\"font-family:Arial Black\"><!--/fontoI'm happy as sh*t, but what do you guys think? <!--fontc</span><!--/fontc<!--sizec</span><!--/sizec<img src=\"http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8394/knife1ca0.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/Images/MoviePics/r/rambo2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7803/knife2az7.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/2391/knife3xy6.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Shown is my Part II knife next to my original <i>First Blood</i> Knife...notice the size difference!<img src=\"http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7451/knifecomparedu3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8144/knife4mu7.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><i>Rambo holding the legendary knife in action in First Blood: Part II.</i><img src=\"http://www.frogkick.nl/gfx/rambo_mes.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
