Gil Hibben Extreme Survival Survivor Bowie Knife With Sheath

I am very happy with this blade it is wicked and razor sharp and a really good feel and look also great weight and handle for a blade of this size.

Great knife came very sharp

This is a big impressive knife, it has a very thick spine and screams of quality as you look at it. It has great balance and a nice edge out of the box. I am looking forward to stress testing it. Pull this knife out for protection in the woods and the bear will run away.

This is very close to Hibben's prototype for the Rambo 5 Knife, but that never came to be. it's done so well. just holding this in your head you can feel the quality it's a work of art.

From Steve W on 7-10-16 Got my knife today, I must admit that this blade is awesome. It was fairly sharp out of the box. But the weight and balance of this blade is what sold me on it. another dynamite piece from BUDK at a reasonable price as well.keep it up, and fokes buy one, it will not disappoint you in any way.

This is a beautiful knife. Very well made and finished and constructed of the highest quality materials. The sheath is also first rate. Caught it on sale 30% off. Great buy. I am having a lot of fun with it. Makes a great boar spear when lashed to a shaft. Gil Hibben knives are the highest quality. You should try one.

Really nice knife... well made ...

If you like big knives this is a must have. doesn't come cheap so I waited for penny shipping. Have not tested it out. But the feels great in the hands. Not to light and good balance. Plus Gil Hibben name backing it. enough said.

This is a very good knife, when I arrived the first thing that surprised me was his strength, sharp and large. I am a boy scout and always use it when I go camping, never failed me and is totally a knife worthy of Gil Hibben.

This knife is perfect because it is solid, sharp and made to last. When I arrived I was sorprendido by the size and sharpness. boy scout and I use it a lot in my adventures and so far has not failed me and is like new. A knife worthy of Gil Hibben.

I like Gil Hibben knives are strongs, sharp and durable. this is incredible. I was very surprised the size and good design, I've tried and so far has been the best knife I have had many. a knife worthy of a video

I'm a Hibben knife fan/collector. This knife is called "The Survivor" knife. First the Good: it arrived razor sharp, it's well balanced, the mirror finish is really pretty, most of the spine is thick enough to take a beating, and its heavy enough overall to do some chopping and a few basic survival functions. It would be a great wall hanger in someones man-cave or a great conversation piece of weaponry. The Not Quite As Good: The fit of the pieces of the knife is not really on par with other knives at this price point. The blade should fit into the handguard without any visible space between the guard and wide part at the base of the blade before it tapers down to the tang going inside the handle. Also, the spacers in the handle are not flush with the pieces they are separating which leaves an edge you can feel on each spacer. Not enough to cut your hand, but at this price point that fit should have been addressed. The only feature that really negates this blades use as a serious survival knife is that the last inch and a half of blade is really too thin for any serious "survivor" work. It was so thin at the tip when I got it that the very tip point of the blade was bent about 15 degrees to the left. For anything other than stabbing soft tissue, the tip may break off. Maybe it was meant to carve pits into olives for pimentos at the survival camp or something of that nature. However, the first time you stab it into any hard material you will likely draw back a broken or damaged blade tip because it's just too thin at the point. In summary, its a wicked looking knife and I decided to keep it because it's a Hibben and I got it on sale. But if someone is looking for a serious "real" survival knife, BudK has many other knives that would probably suit that purpose better...even if they don't look quite as good as this knife.

Nice knife heavy duty and well made.awesome knife.just get you won't be sorry

wow i really like this knife, please BUDK make a video. i would recommend this knife.

Rugged construction. 11 ¾ blade knife arrived sharp. Double rough of onset saw teeth on back of blade. Between The blades size sharpness or notched back I would not want to be on the dangerous end of one of these. This knife can do allot of work in the wild.

When I opened the box and handled the knife found it to be better than expected. Besides the pretty mirror finish, it was razor sharp and balanced. The knife is well made has some heft with the spine being 1/4" thick. The size of the handle fits the size of knife fitting large hands very well. It's a scary self defense weapon with the ability to slice deep and sever limbs. I just became a Hibben collector.
