The Rambo III Prototype

The Rambo III Prototype few people have ever seen.

Gil's original idea for the knife actually had another blade that fit into the slot with a spring loaded release catch. Have you ever wondered about the slot in the top blade of the knife?

The film industry decided against the prototype and ended up going with a different idea. Hibben only manufactured two of these knives. Hibben has one and Stallone has the other. Gil's second design the now famous Rambo III knife pictured below.
