Gil Hibben Assault Tactical Knife With Sheath

Flawless. Perfectly weighted, came sharp, the sheath fits the knife like a glove, and it just feels plain RIGHT to hold. Not to mention it really is a pretty knife. My only complaint is that it doesn't have my initials engraved on it, but that's my own fault because of how excited I was to just get the thing ordered and on it's way to me. Definitely worth every dime. I always order my knives from trueswords and have yet to be disappointed with them.

I've had the Hibben Legacy knife and never considered not using it til I bought this. It fits my hand perfectly. Don't get me wrong I love all my Hibben knives. It's just this best suits my needs now. Great knife at a great price.

Another Home Run by Hibben. Fairly sharp out of the box but a few swipes on a honing steel and it became sharp enough to shave with. Beautiful knife: well balanced, nice heft and holds a good edge. The sheath is nice--it IS REAL LEATHER, not what another reviewer described as a hardened paper (ridiculous!) it is a very stiff leather, though, and I resolved that with a Mink Oil treatment. I think the leather is thirsty and needs some TLC and some nutrients, is all!

Great knife, impressive design and quality. Very sharp. Hibben does it again.

This is a very nice little weapon and the price is right. It has the full tang, great grip and the designer's name is one you can trust. All in all, I may have to buy a second one for the wife.

I believe this to be the best Hibben knife yet, this knife has a practical use, it looks good in a collection but this one screams " use me." 7cr17 stainless is easy to sharpen and keep sharp. The point of balance is right wear it should be,it feels good in your hand. One thing I've learned is guy's love a sub-hilt knife and this one is the best. Thank you. Daniel of Nebraska.

This knife is well made and so far has surpassed my expectations. The sheath is very well made and heavy duty.

This is a great survival knife. The only draw back is a cheap poorly fitted sheath. I will have to have one made for it. It's still worth it. You can trust your life to this knife it's that good.

This knife is truly a piece of work and I would recommend it to anyone looking to add it to a collection. As always with true swords the pictures never seem to give this justice, and the feel of the blade with the trigger grip is unbeatable! Great product and with TrueSwords wonderful customer service many problems I had were worked out perfectly. I am a True Swords customer for life.

Great balance, excellent steel quality; holds edge well. Handle a little slick, but with the finger lock, it grips well and is easy to maneuver either forward or behind. Would recommend this even against knives with leather or corded-wrapped, or rubber grip handles.

-Knife- This is a very solid knife and it feels good in the hand, however I do recommend this particular knife to someone who has large hands otherwise your index finger will not sit comfortably within the finger guard. The knife's weight center favors the handle just a 1/4in from the bolster so it does not vibrate in your hand if you hit something in a swing. The blade is of decent making and I would place it in a higher quality tier compared to other fixed bladed knives at similiar pricing. The steel is very difficult to hone and I could not achieve "of razor quality" due to the density of the steel, however the edge I was able to apply held up very well and only needs a touch-up ever few days in a heavy use environment. -Sheath- Fresh out of the package it looks to be of excellent quality, but this is NOT a sheath for high use, or much of any use for that matter. This is the particle board design for leather, it's as if shredded leather was packed and pressed together with hot glue and a thin leather "skin" is glued to the outside as well to make it look fancy. The only thing that held up to the abuse was the stitching and the pistol lock button. The first thing to go is the entire belt loop where the loop meets the sheath. While on your person the leather skin will unbind from the rest of the sheath during times heat, movement, and weakens the overall belt loop, eventually tearing itself apart. I give this whole product a 4 out of 5 as a reflection on the sheath and not the knife, as it is of good quality. -suggestions- If you buy this knife, use the sheath as long as you want but I would suggest a custom sheath to be built. Preferably authentic leather as your first choice; it can be quite expensive based on the quality you want, it's worth it though. If you're on a budget then a tough nylon sheath with a retainer wall inside will be your second best choice. It will hold water in the threads if it becomes wet, so a toasty sun bath will be needed afterward.

A good solid knife, there were some manufacturing marks on the knife where the blade meets the hand guard. Couldnt get it to sharpen up as well as some more expensive blades, but it holds a edge. Probably the best chinese made fixed blade knife i have purchased.
