- Sunday, August 02, 2009 Gil Hibben IS the master
Reviewed By: Matthew Davis (White River Junction, VT) I love this blade, well balanced, takes an edge beautifully, easy to clean and an absolute delight to carry on your hip. The samurai curve to the blade helps to slice through anything without getting stuck. I love the similar appearance to the Rambo III Bowie (another favorite in my collection). Hibben IS the master.

Reviewed By: Mike (Tulsa, OK) Hibben definitely shows his knowledge of the martial arts. As a butcher, MMA and a sensei, I swear this knife was made for me. Like a cleaver, machete and bowie combined, I instantly fell in love with this design. Vie Grosse hackbeil lol
- Thursday, November 27, 2008 the Hibben combat machete
Reviewed By: jh collins (st peters, mo) I spent several weeks looking for just the right machete and there is no question in my mind that I have found it. I realy wish that I had had Hibben's machete with me when I was over sea's with the Army just a few months ago. This weapon is not only strong and easy to handle, but can make any one who has it on hand in a tough situation feel ready for anything.

Reviewed By: Jerry Tisdale (Grangeville, ID) I have every knife that Gil Hibben has commercially released through Bud K or Smokey Mt Knife Works (practical/Alaskan Series etc) and most annual fantasy releases starting from about 1990. I got this Machete primarily to go with my original RAMBO III Bowie as they make a nice set. The factory /inspector(s) dropped the ball on this release and wound up making the sheaths backwards so the HIBBEN LOGO is on the back side of the sheath. The cross guard on my knife was not soldered straight, making the guard look like it is off at an angle.(actually it is). Visually unappealing although not a problem for knife performance. United Cutlery and Bud K needs to do a better job of inspecting more samples or the GIL HIBBEN wont mean the quality it always has.I have been a Bud K customer since 1990.__Tis
