This folding knife was handcrafted by the late Arkansas Master Knifemaker James B. Lile. One of the most influential knifemakers in the world, Lile is the inventor of the famous "Lile Lock" folding knife and is probably best remembered as the creator of the original Rambo knife for the movie "First Blood" which generated a whole new era of knife design and collecting. His customers included Presidents Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan, King Carl Gustav IV of Sweden and the actors John Wayne and Fess Parker. This Lile folding knife has a 3 inch long blade script marked "Hand Made by / James B. Lile". Stainless steel frame with hardwood inlays. OAL: 7".

ConditionExcellent, with some scattered minor scratches overall.
