The knife from Rambo: First Blood, the first installment in the series, is one of the most famous examples of a modern survival knife. Designed by master knife maker Jimmy Lile at the specific request of Sylvester Stallone, it was not intended as a simple prop, but as a real, functional and useful tool in an extreme survival context.

In the film, John Rambo is a former Green Beret veteran of Vietnam, an expert in guerrilla warfare and environmental adaptation. The knife becomes a symbol of his self-sufficiency: a sturdy blade, a serrated back for cutting wood and thin metal, a hollow handle with a waterproof seal to hold a small emergency kit (matches, string, hooks), and a flat pommel that can be used as a hammer or mallet. A sharpening stone was also integrated into the sheath, highlighting the philosophy of “don't depend on anything other than what you carry with you.”

The design of the Rambo 1 knife anticipates the myth of the lone hero capable of surviving against nature and man, and defines an aesthetic that would influence the production of survival knives for the entire following decade. Even today, the original Lile models are considered highly collectible items, testimony to the union between cinema and true knife-making artistry.

The most distinctive—and patented—feature of the Buckmaster Buck 184 is the presence of two removable, screw-mounted harpoons, or hooks. Their primary function is to provide an anchor point: the knife can, in fact, be used as a sort of throwing hook by attaching a rope to the ring on the pommel. The manufacturer claimed the grappling hooks had a holding capacity of up to 600 pounds.

In the case of the Navy SEALs, the requirement was for a knife that could also be used underwater and, if necessary, allow for the anchoring of equipment or vehicles to a submerged anchor point. This specific requirement contributed to the choice of an all-steel construction, designed to offer strength and durability even under harsh underwater operating conditions.

The SOG S1 Bowie Vietnam 5th Special Forces Group is one of the most representative knives in the history of SOG Specialty Knives and the model with which the American brand began its production during the second half of the 1980s. Made in Seki, Japan, the S1 was created as a tribute to the famous knives used by members of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) during the Vietnam War.

It is important to distinguish the S1 from the original “sterile” military knives actually used operationally during the conflict: the commercial SOG model instead reproduces the commemorative configuration of the famous MACV-SOG Bowie, featuring the U.S. Army Special Forces crest on the blade together with the marking “VIETNAM 5th SPECIAL FORCES GROUP”. This strong historical identity, combined with the quality of Japanese manufacturing, has made it one of the most recognizable and sought-after vintage SOG knives among collectors.

Production was entrusted to Ichiro Hattori in Seki, one of the most important names in Japanese knifemaking. The substantial Bowie blade is made from SK-5 carbon steel, hardened to approximately 57-58 HRC, with the characteristic dark gun-blue finish combined with polished surfaces. The handle uses traditional stacked leather washers stabilized with epoxy resin, completed by a sturdy metal guard and pommel.

This example features the classic SOG Specialty Knives logo on one side of the ricasso and, on the opposite side, the markings “SEKI-JAPAN”, the Special Forces crest and the inscription “VIETNAM 5th SPECIAL FORCES GROUP”. It is also accompanied by its original black leather sheath, complete with sharpening stone pocket and a large Special Forces crest embossed on the lower section. The original period identification label is still present on the back of the sheath.

The example offered here comes from a private collection and has actually been used. The blade shows scratches, abrasions and surface marks, both on the blued and polished areas; the leather handle has developed a noticeable patina and shows wear consistent with its age. The original sheath is also heavily used, with leather wear, marks and widespread abrasions. Its condition should therefore be considered good in relation to its age and nature, but it should not be compared with a display-grade or NOS example.

These very characteristics tell the story of an authentic SOG S1 made in Seki: a knife that, regardless of its cosmetic condition, retains all the appeal of one of the founding models of the brand and today represents a particularly significant piece for a collection dedicated to American military knives and Japanese SOG production from the 1980s and 1990s.

The Socom Delta represents the modern evolution of a Microtech icon, setting extremely high standards in the world of tactical and utility knives. A direct descendant of the legendary Socom introduced in 1996, the Delta carries on its legacy while taking it to the next level in terms of ergonomics, durability, and operational versatility. Available with a clip-point or tanto blade, it guarantees top-notch performance in any situation. The integrated glass breaker at the base of the handle and the large pivot, which allows for easy opening even while wearing gloves, reinforce its professional appeal. Its rugged reliability makes it a top choice even in the most demanding environments, now featuring RAM-LOK technology.

This rugged reimagining of the crossbar lock features Microtech’s signature stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series’ activation switches. The blade’s wide cutout provides space for reverse middle-finger movements and for the standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves. If neither of these is preferred, simply pull down the RAM-LOK and the blade opens with a simple flick of the wrist. The aluminum handles are slightly textured, offering excellent grip potential for both standard and reverse grips.

The new Gold Class 491BK-261 Lowden represents the most exclusive iteration of the Lowden platform. A high-performance knife that pays homage to the great achievements of American aeronautics in the space age, combining sophisticated design, advanced technologies, and craftsmanship of the highest caliber.

Built on a 6Al-4V titanium frame with a black DLC finish, it is enhanced by marbled carbon fiber inserts, which add depth and movement to the structure. The gold-plated steel bolster introduces an elegant and distinctive contrast, inspired by the canopy of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

The spear-point blade is crafted from exclusive Drakkar Damasteel, a 72-layer Damascus steel that reveals its complexity through the bevel’s finish and a deep acid etching, which highlights a fluid and dynamic pattern. The result is a cohesive ensemble of premium materials and finishes. The 72-layer Damasteel offers a rich, layered visual depth, while the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating combines protection with a technical aesthetic.

From a mechanical standpoint, the Lowden platform stands out for its fluidity and precision. The ball-bearing-mounted flipper opening mechanism ensures rapid and controlled movement, while the AXIS Lock system provides a secure closure and a solid, consistent feel during use.

Released in 2023, the Stitch RAM-LOK debuted with the MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) as the first Microtech blade equipped with its fantastic RAM-LOK technology. This sturdy reinterpretation of the crossbar lock features Microtech's signature stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series' drive switches. The blade's wide cut provides room for reverse middle finger movements and standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves.

The aluminum handles are lightly textured to provide excellent grip potential with both standard and reverse grips. Rugged, durable, and made in the USA, we know it will quickly become a favorite among all members of the knife community.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The knife from Rambo: First Blood Part II — often called the “Mission” or “Rambo II knife” — is the work of master American knife maker Jimmy Lile.

Created at the request of Sylvester Stallone, the model was designed not as a simple movie prop but as a real survival knife: a long, sturdy blade, partially serrated back, and handle designed for prolonged use and to hold small emergency accessories. 

Lile's design, much more aggressive than the knife in the first film, emphasizes the character's transformation into an even more operational and autonomous figure in the field.

The film, released in 1985 and directed by George P. Cosmatos, helped transform this knife into a popular icon: from a functional tool to a symbol of adventure and resilience.

Intended use: Collection 
Blade: 420J2 stainless steel
Blade finish: Satin finish and black coating
Handle: Hollow, made of die-cast aluminum, with the exterior wrapped in paracord; the rear has a screw cap with a bushing that allows access to the compartment containing all the survival accessories (windproof matches, needles, fish hooks, etc.)
Blade length: 10.5 inches.
Blade thickness: 0.2 inches.
Handle length: 100 mm.
Total length: 385 mm.
Balance: Forward, 2 cm from the lower guard branch.
Weight: 505 g.
Sheath: Leather, with diamond sharpener. 
Notes: Limited and numbered edition with John Rambo's signature on the blade and sheath.
