Hi There,
here are some pics of the Lile knives and Buck 184. Buck 184 is an early model with compass in the handle. now the Lile knives,... in the middle is Rambo The Mission - thats official name from Lile catalogue and so it is stamped on the 10 inch blade, Lile split teeth saw of 14 teeth, hollow handle wrapped with black treated cord. the other knife pictured is SLY II, this particular version has 9 inch blade and quilon is lacking screwdriver ends. however this version is somewhat rare - hollow handle was never wrapped and never intended to be,...this exact version is pictured in the book "Knives Points of interest" Vol 2, compass is and early version,..... . most of Sly II come with cord wrapped handle and handle construction is different, signature Lile split tooth saw. all these knives have bead blasted grey finish. there were three sizes 9-inch blade (12 teeth), 7.5 inch blade and 6 inch blade. 9-inch seems to be more common. Blade is stamped LILE and thats all. Johnson sheath are standard.
