The Force is Strong with Studio Auctions

The hero machete wielded by Sylvester Stallone's character, John Rambo, in the 2008 action film Rambo. Having long-since abandoned his life as a lethal soldier, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) lives a solitary life near the Thai border. Two weeks after guiding a missionary (Julie Benz) and her comrades into Burma, he gets an urgent call for help. The missionaries have not returned and although he is reluctant to embrace violence again, Rambo sets out to rescue the captives from the Burmese army. This custom made piece is constructed with a steel blade and features a handle wrapped in layers of black duct tape, with a string tied to the end of the handle. It is accompanied by a brown leather sheath, complete with leather twine attached to one end and a khaki utility belt fastened to the other. The back of the sheath bears duct tape with a handwritten annotation reading "Rambo / Hero." Stallone, in his role as "John Rambo," proudly displayed this machete in his home after filming concluded and was originally sold in the 2015 Stallone auction. Stallone later signed the sheath. The knife itself measures 17", while the sheath has a length of 18”. This lot comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.
