This is an early non-catalog Lile Cleaver with 6-7/8" blade (measured tip to guard), single brass guard, and black micarta handle scales held in place with two piece Loveless-style bolts.

Another very rare Lile model, very few of these Deerslayers were made. I originally referred to these as muleskinners but was correct by former shop employee and knife maker extraordinaire Steven Lynn.

Here's one set I can comfortably say you're not going to see anywhere else. This is a set of 6 steak knives with antler handles made by Jimmy and given to Marilyn as a gift.

With the late Tom Clinton’s inventory sticker still attached, this is a rare script signed Lile Tomahawk with fingered walnut handle and brass hardware.

Unused Jimmy Lile Vietnam Veteran #057 of 100 paired with original Galco belt sheath. Original blade edges, green cord wrap is perfect.

The last hollow handle Lile knife I have for sale, had four others but all those have sold. This is the only double edged stiletto, obviously a unique pattern.

This is a super rare Lile World War II style dagger with script signed 8” blade, double brass guard, and pinned aluminum handle with 2-piece Loveless style bolts.

Admittedly, I knew nothing about this particular Council Oaks Bowie knife before reading about it in the Lile book. This much I know: it's rare and only 25 of these were made.

Out of the late Tom Clinton’s vast collection of unique Lile knives, this oddball hunter / skinner has a 6” blade with deep choil, brass guard, black micarta handle, and brass butt cap.

This is a 1-only leather tool made for the Lile's first sheath maker, John Lamb. Overall length of the tool is about 7-1/2" -- the blade is quite sharp. The notes on the tag attached to the handle were written by Marilyn. (see photos) Made in 1977.

This is an custom all steel semi-skinner Trout & Bird knife (also referred to as a poker) made by Jimmy Lile.

This is a terrific looking, unused fillet knife made by Jimmy Lile. It's an early one with the rare shorter (less than 9") blade length, script signed "Hand Made by James B. Lile". This knife has a single brass hilt and fingered stag handle, overall length is 12".

A great knife for the Lile collector who might be looking for a beauty to use, this is an unused script signed Lile Regular 7 in damn near perfect condition but for an area of carbon staining on the back side of the blade.

This an unused script signed Lile Regular 7 with thick, dark colored wood scales. An early 1970's knife -- the blade is script signed "Hand Made by James B. Lile"..

This an unused script signed Lile Regular 7 with light colored wood scales. An early 1970's knife -- the blade is script signed "Hand Made by James B. Lile".

A great knife for the Lile collector who might be looking for something unusual / unique. Jimmy's script signed and no dot interframe Reg 7's aren't too common

A rare little bird, I think it's a version of the model 23 but I'm not certain. This knife has a 4-1/2" tool steel blade, reduced brass guard (neat!), and light colored stag handle.

A very early unused Jimmy Lile paring / utility knife with the single line / single word "Lile" script signature. The knife probably dates to the late 60's, very early in Jimmy's career. The blade is 3-1/8" long -- overall length of the knife is 7-1/8".

A couple of small Lile utility knives, one LILE stamped with black micarta and one Lile script knife with wood scales
