There was a time when I was a huge fan of Rambo. My enthusiasm has waned over the years. Rambo was an acquired taste and the character’s relevance has diminished.
If you’re looking for a good ol’ bloodfest movies with plenty of muscles, macho and firepower then the Rambo movie franchise is just the ticket.
Recently Sylvester Stallone revisited Rambo and to be honest the movie was enjoyable enough from an action point of view, but let’s admit it, Stallone is getting a little long in the tooth.
He’s hardly the Rambo we all knew and loved n the 1980s.
The years have caught up to him and it shows.
However one of the coolest elements in any Rambo movie is Rambo’s choice of weapons-specifically his choice of knives.
In Rambo First blood Part II Rambo sported a huge knife with survival items tucked a way in its handle.
United Cutlery offered a reproduction of the knife and that’s what I want to talk about in this review.
The knife is a hefty size with a sharp stainless steel blade approximately 10 inched in length. The body of the blade is painted matt black and the upper edge of the blade is cut into notches for clipping wire, etc. They also serve as blood channels.
The blade guard is think metal with a standard screwdriver head on one side and a Phillips head on the opposite side.
The handle is round with wrapped around black cord ending in a silver cap that unscrews. On its end is a small compass. A black leather strip is tied to the end.
Unscrew the cap and a small clear plastic tube is inside that contains matches, fishhooks, lead weights, needles and fishing line.
Included with the knife is a large heavy leather black sheath.
At its bottom is a black leather strip for securing to your leg, a snap over strap for securing the knife in the sheath and a multi hole punch open fold over strap for attaching to your belt.
The sheath is wrapped in plastic to protect it and the entire knife set comes in a lid box with the Rambo logo on its front and sides.
