A Gil Hibben first edition Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) machete-style knife with brown leather sheath of the same model seen in Stallone's action sequel Rambo. When a group of well-meaning missionaries were captured in Burma, Rambo forged a new knife as he led a group of mercenaries on a mission to free them and bring them home.

Knifesmith and designer Gil Hibben created a custom knife for the film, and while this piece is not film-used, it is from the original run produced by Hibben. It comes with an original black leather sheath signed on the back in silver pen and numbered #8 of 50. The knife features an engraving on the blade just above the bolster with the "HIBBEN KNIVES LA GRANGE, KY" graphic and signature. It also features an engraving on the spine reading "J.R. 8 of 50" (A reference to the film's working title, "John Rambo"). First run Gil Hibben knives are highly sought after by collectors. This knife is in excellent overall condition with some minor wear from age on the sheath and markings on the blade in keeping with the design.
