Gil Hibben has been making knives for 50 years now. Over that time he has hand-made thousands of knives. Of course he is well known for his fantasy and art knives, but he has made far more hunting, fishing, fighting, folding and even kitchen knives.
I am looking for stories from those who have carried and used Hibben knives over the years.
- Did you carry one of his fighters in Vietnam or Iraq?
- Has one of his hunters or bowies been a trusted companion in the wild?
- Do you have a family heirloom Hibben knife that was passed down to you from your father or another relative?
- Do you have a story about how well your Hibben knife has performed or held up over the years?
- Is there an interesting story about how you acquired your Hibben knife?
If you have a Hibben story I would love to hear from you. I am trying to compile these stories as part of Gil's biography. You can respond to this posting or email me directly at
