Gil Hibben designed the knife that was used by Sylvester Stallone playing John Rambo in the 1988 movie “Rambo III”. Gil Hibben licensed the knife design to United Cutlery to make replicas of the movie knife (which, by the way, was their biggest selling knife worldwide). The United Cutlery replicas were manufactured in Taiwan and are actually about 2 inches shorter and has a thinner blade than the knife that was used in the movie. Gil Hibben still makes a limited edition, serial numbered, full sized copy of the actual movie knife. Gil’s Rambo III knives are entirely handmade by Gil from 440C stainless steel and Makassar Ebony. The serialized limited editions handmade Rambo IIIs are limited to 350 knives.

Slide the sharpened dart wire into the hole of the plastic cone for the target darts. Place the darts in the appropriate quiver. To shoot a dart, place the dart into mouthpiece, gently pressing until dart has cleared the one way safety valve ring. Hold your blow gun at a level height. Never aiming at a person or animal, bring mouthpiece up to the mouth with muzzle end pointed at a safe direction. Using muzzle guard tip as sight, sight in your target and blow through mouthpiece with a forceful and concentrated burst of pressure. With practice you can control the velocity and distance easily and accurately.
Always place the darts in the respective quiver as loose or neglected darts can cause serious injury and should be always handled and stored in a safe and responsible manner.
