Tom--

I was writing under an impression, but had not done the homework to track exactly what the history of the Rambo knife was (Lile versus Hibben).

Herman Schneider told me that he had introduced Stallone and Hibben at some point (Herman knew Stallone and had been making knives for some of his movies). I did not try to tie it down as to time frame and the exact history of the Rambo knife (since I am not a fan of these sorts of knives). I do recall that Lile made such knives (I used to see them on his table for sale), but did not follow up to learn that he made them for the movie.

By the way--Hibben might still have openings on what he said was to be a limited number of 100 Rambo knives that he was going to make and sell.

If I think about it while at Blade I might ask Gil and get his perspective, and maybe some more insight into his appraisal of the teeth.

I guess this is all off topic here, so I'll shut up at this point.
