I understand completely how much appreciation there is for a knife with personal history behind it. I have a knife given me by an Uncle, one by close friend I lost to a heart condition, and I even have one with morse code on one side and Hopalong Cassidy on the other I dug up in a ditch at the parsonage and they all mean something to me because of the memories they evoke. Handcrafted means the artist put a little of himself with every edge, hilt, and handle.
Its such a classic you are holding there Hickok45! Its a piece of history in the knife evolution. What a good way to show appreciation to Jimmy Lile's Knife collection and series.
Once again, thank you Hickok45 for showing such a beautiful piece of craftmanship.
@hickok45 I agree, re: using knives vs. 'collecting' them. I will not buy any knife that is not usable, but that doesn't mean I feel compelled to use all my knives. And I think most high end knife makers would be just as honored having their knives collected and valued highly as they would be by having them used and eventually worn out.
Beautiful knife, many thanks for showing it.
A tapered tang that matches the taper on the blade. VERY nice touch that not a whole lot of knife makers do. Beautiful piece, and a great connection to your youth!
Now that's a collectible, Lile was a legend.
My first custom knife was a Red River Bowie by Don Hastings, one of the 4 founders of the American Bladesmith Society.
I waited 2 years for that knife, and caught the knife forging bug myself during the wait.
Don Hastings passed away while I was waiting for my knife,, but fortunately his employee Dwayne Parrish bought the business and still makes Hastings knives to this day.
Jimmy Lile, the man that made the Rambo knife from First Blood and Part II.
One of the best knives I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
@LemmeLieHere, I think the same way with guns, as I shoot old Colts and things that a lot of people would handle with white gloves; however, knives are a bit different for me. I guess it's the fact that you actually grind on them, and as long as I have knives in all the sizes I like that I sharpen and use, I just see no need to file and grind on others that are essentially the same but just "prettier" or more collectible and such.
ABSOLUTE CLASSIC
B PROUD Sir B PROUD

Beautiful blade! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Sweet blade. Sometimes pride in ownership is worth more than money. That knife is irreplaceable. Thanks for sharing.
@joshmarcinik , The only lube and cleaner I use on knives and guns is Ballistol. I really like the stuff, and I like to keep things simple.
I bought and traded knives with Mr. Lile for quite some time back in the 70's and 80's. He and his wife seldom missed a gun or knife show and were very nice people.
That knife you have with the tapered tang is a really nice piece of work.
For a 35 year old knife both it and the sheath look brand new. Thanks for the video.
Jimmy used mainly D2 which is mainly stainless . The knife shows his pioneering with the tapered tang copied so much today by the high quality makers. The after death marking was a small high dot after the second L. Nice knife, and treasure it.
Wow. That knife is older than me, hell it's in better condition than I am too. Wonderful piece, like these knife reviews Hickok.
Wow that was Awesome! Very cool. It's amazing that you have a Like knife made before 1982. It must be worth a nice amount. Very cool!
Yes, Lile knife.
i love it how hickok says he isnt a knife expert but yet he knows alot about them! :-)
I can see you throwing a Colt SAA or Grizzly at that log before this knife (based on the way this knife and sheath look). And, it lives in a bank? I guess the pumpkins are safe at the compound.. for today.
That is an absolutely beautiful knife! The stag handle Looks so well made I am in love at first sight with that blade!!
Just something about a really nice knife. I've got several high end knives and really enjoy them. Thanks for showing.
Amazing knife! great video as usual!
I liked seeing the knife, and I can appreciate you wanting to keep it in pristine condition. For myself though, if I get a knife like that, I'm going to use it. I'm sure I just made a few collectors gasp in shock, but I'm not a collector. When I buy a knife, it's a tool; and although I buy high-quality tools, and take care of them, tools are meant to be used.
Before anyone sends rage comments my way, ask yourself what Mr. Lile would say, if nobody ever used the knives he made?
Wow, what a beautiful knife!!!! Love it!
Mr.Hickock,very good knife you got there....Really good...I'm also having some rare
knives (Glen Avaritt)and particullary i'm in love with damascus blade or wootz blades.
I have one wootz knife from Oleg Krimlin....Also I'm trying to be a bladesmith by my self just for the fun and the experience of doing that and i really enjoy it..
I would thank you for all the educational videos about the firearms,here in Greece such videos are really a treasure,especially for me...My best regards Mr.Hickock
Ive aquired the one with inscription of his signature.itz a fine knife veticle grindz its amazing
Love the lines on that beauty!
I think the knives that were made by Lile after Jimmy Lile passed were marked with a dot near the Lile branding. Awesome knife! Good upload!
Who made them if Lile died?
Really sweet blade hickok. Color me green with envy.
oh man, that is beautiful! i love it.
Good review,Nice knife Thanks for your time.
That is a beauty. People may remember his First Blood knife. Great maker. I morned when he died in the early 90s. The handle reminds me of a Bob Loveless. Pretty sure Loveless copied Lile's design. Who wouldn't.
Wow that knife is absolutely beautiful. They sure don't make them like they used to.
Sure they do! All you have to do is look. Kirby Lambert. Edmund Davidson are two great makers.
It's a beauty. It is also a valuable knife. You made a great investment. Sweet.
KEEP ON PREPPING
Great video and thnx for sharing a fav. of yours. I have an old Pal 35, nothing special and is well used. But to think of the things it has seen makes it all the more interesting to hold it in your hand. Have thought about using it, but cannot bring myself to take it out.
Absolutely awesome knife. You’re so lucky.
hickock, if you want to sharpen it i would suggest you look into stropping. if you do a little bit often the knife never really gets dull (if not abused) and its really more of polishing the edge rather than sharpening, so there is almost no risk of making any kind of scratches like may happen with sharpening. the compound is pretty cheap and i know you probably have some leather scraps lying around.
😎 I have the very same Lile knife that I bought from Jimmy himself off of the show room floor in Russellville Arkansas. I bought mine in the early 1980's I have never sharpened the knife and it still shaves hair like it was new. I have skinned one deer with it a few squirrels then put it away. I think I paid $120 for mine, which was a lot of money in those days, and of course now wish I had bit the bullet and bought several more of them!
@hickok45 - I'm a straight razor shaver and have razors that are from the mid 19th century that still look great, even after being passed down through generations of different users. I know what you mean, though; it's nice to keep your knives looking nice. I'll bet most knives disappear due to guys losing them, not using them.
Beautiful Knife. I have was given a LAGUIOLE knife with raindeer antler handle at christmas. hand made from France but like the Lile knife I wont actually use it because its too nice. I love holding it.
Thanks Again
would be interested to see more of your knive collection. This one is a beauty! Thanks for sharing.
That's a beauty! Thanks for sharing, hickok45, sir!
that sure is a sweetheart... i'm a sucker for nice stag. nice knife, hickok!
@KarlssonGroup , That's right; I'd forgotten about that.
Love the occasional non-gun video! Helps to keep a little variety in the channel.
That is a very nice knife. I collect some but mostly case. Great video.
this guy is a knife legend
You seem to have made some good choices even though they were expensive. Thanks for sharing them with us.
A video on knives of ww1 and ww2 would be great. Marine kabar, M3, etc
Beautiful knife!
u kept that knife looking so nice, looks like u just bought it new of the shelves and its nearly40 years old...
excellent video, that knife is terrific
AMEN !!! on the Ballistol Greg.
Work of art .
very nice knife.. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful knife
lile fan here since 1970
@JustCauseVids, Actually, I more "self-controlled" when it comes to knives. I do have a weakness for certain knives I see, though.
If memory serves me, wasn't Jimmy Lile the maker of The First Blood Hollow Handle Knife?
Wonderful knife.
It's like watching Bilbo Baggins examining the sting sword made by the elves. Amazing.
this is amazing
that's a beautiful knife
Thanks for sharing.
@lawrencetimmons94 , Oh, yes, I'm a Sypderco guy. I have a video on my primary carry knife.
Hey I bought a 70$ knife from CRKT it's the m16-14sfg. It's a nice knife. I like it
great knife.
Real nice knife
$125 in 1975 is around $505 today so yeah that must've been a major purchase for a knife. I bet there are some Lile fans that would pay even a bill or two more for it if it's near mint. But it'd definitely be worth more to keep and pass on to grandchildren rather than cash out for $650 or so.
beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.
What a beauty
The wait time on a Randall is rediculous, and Randalls are now made by a group of guys, not an individual maker such as Bo Randall. If you want a handmade knife just the way you want it for a "resonable" price. Check out Gary Wheeler from Clarksville, Tennessee. I have 3 of his blades and it is better than my 1 Randall. Dan Mink from Florida is also good.
Hey Hickok can you show us how you sharpen your knives?
@AllfatherGuideUs , Definitely no rust.
b-e-a-utiful piece of bone and steel.
Very nice. Could also be used as a bushcraft knife.
@LedZepplin3853
Its hickok... U know... THE FAMOUS GUY.
GERD
@hickok45 But your name is on your channel. Greg? Love your videos!!
What a beauty. That thing is worth like 1k
Lucky you. What a treasure.
very nice!!!!
hey hickok do you think you can do a video on some western movies that you recomend?? that would have been AWSOME! swett knife by the way
tapered tang,nice knife
Wow 1976, I have not been born yet!!!
hey hickok love your vidios there great. you should check out this machete called the woodsman pal i own one and i use it in my forestry work blazing trees and clearing trails. Its my best friend in the woods I feel like you would apreiciate the well crafted steel.
for something about that piece if tape bother me but its a beautiful knife
@LedZepplin3853
Probably because if he showed his name, he would wake up the next morning to a line of thousands of people at his front door wanting to use his range. lol.
sweet*
you have good taste
For a while I was wondering why you taped over your name, but then I realized I never knew your real name! You're Hicock45 in my mind =p
puts my trusty mtech from big5 to shame. thanks hickok45 for ruining my life! good day sir!
