Back in that timeframe, by necessity, survival knives were my thing, and was in contact at one time or another with more than 20 US makers of such knives. There likely were 3 or 4 times that many hawking their stuff at local shows. Many were quite bad. Some were excellent including many hollow tang with scales models. Even most of the better stopped making as market craze from Vietnam and then Stallone faded. Personally, I never heard of the guy.
