Stunning !!! I’m really enjoying this . Just think about this for a second : Imagine the entire process in creating just one knife . The thought process - the official design - the specs - the distribution etc etc . He didn’t copy from anyone . He was inspired by no one . Now multiply that by a Thousand ( even more than that ). Each and every one of these beauties are Gils original idea . Each and every one is different. And there are Soooooo Many !!!!! He is The King of Knives !!!!! Inspired so many others along the way . Such a beautiful collection. And still growing !!!! Treasure these Always !! ( you know I do ). I could sell off most of my entire collection but would never part with my Hibbens . My kids know the rules too after I’m gone . Haha - they know which ones are sentimental. Customs - Movie Knives - Bucks - Kabar - Cold Steel and Hibbens . They are the keepers . ( even Muela ). God Bless you brother !! And May God Continue to bless Gil Hibben . The world needs to have a special holiday in his name ! “ It’s Gil Hibben Day “!! Haha haha haha haha

Did I earn a Pin 📌??? Haha haha I just learned that last year . But seriously- think about what kind of process one - And Only One with no help from the outside - must go thru in order to make / design one single knife . It’s really hard !! Every design I ever came up with seems to be inspired by another knife one way or another . It’s kind of unavoidable . But not with Gil !!! How does he keep coming up with fantastic designs ???? “ King Of Knives “!!!!🤠❤️🙏🔪🎵

@@tubes5150 You earn two pins. I have got to say that no other maker makes it possible to own so many designs. He did not have to do that and he still would be a rich man. He does it because he truly cares about the knife culture and community and I am glad he did. Just think if we put them both together how large the collection would be. Just crazy 😝.

Oh man you have a big Gil Hibben knife collection. I admire Gil Hibben for his Bowies and Machetes, not a huge fan of the fantasy pieces that he came out with. But if I started one here are the knives that I would pick up. 1. Magnum Bowie 2. Hibben 4 Combat Machete 3. Hibben 3 knife 4. Hibben 4 machete 5. Bushcraft machete 6. Old West Bowie 7. Highlander Bowie (didn't see the Natural Born Killers movie yet, but I love this design) 8. Expendables Bowie 9. Sub-Hilt Toothpick 10. Arizona Bowie 11. Extreme Survival Bowie 12. Sub-Hilt Fighter 13. Legionnaire Bowie. That is my list of his knives I like. Maybe one day I might get them all.
