I just took my Voorhis First Blood handmade style knife, patterned after the Lile Rambo knife, and had it bead blasted. I also took my ACK one as well and had it bead Blasted too! Man they look awesome too! Now, I just found out some interesting news; It seems that Steve Voorhis and Jimmy Lile were friends, and back when Lile was still alive, he had gotten together with Voorhis and had taught him how to make his belived First Blood and Rambo Missions knives. The Voorhis one I have, he had made it about 20 years ago. It still looked Immaculate when i got it, and now it looks even Better than it did. I was also told that back then when this knife was made, which Voorhis was working with Lile, his early knives like the one I just got here were all made with much better quality and more precise than the ones he makes today. Not sure how true that is, but all I know is my awesome Voorhis Rambo knife, which to me is reallycross between a Sly 2 and a Rambo Missions knife, is nice and heavy and built SOLID!! I love it! My gues is that, just like Jimmy Lile, when Voorhis quits making knives or if something happens to him, his knives, especially the rare ones with his SV maker mark stamp (I heard that the knives he thought he made with much higher quality, he marks them with his SV initials and all others which he feels have normal quality, he marks with his last name, Voorhis, on them. Again, not sure how true this is). Anyway, if something ever happens to him, just like Lile's knives did, Steve Voorhis knives, esp his Rambo knives, are going to skyrocket in prices! Bottom line is that getting a solid highest quality handmade Rambo knife like my new Voorhis one, is a lifelong dream come true. Also, getting the ACK survival knives that I have been blessed with is also a dream come true! I just cannot believe that I finally got my dream knives! I have been very richly Blessed lately!!
