First off, Gil Hibben didn't design the First Blood or even First Blood part 2 knives. The First Blood was designed by Jimmy Lile. The second was inspired by the first. Second didn't you think that's why the knife was at a flea market to begin with? Most flea markets sell junk. I have a Rambo 3 knife with a ticket of authenticity and have taken it apart and it looks nothing like that. The tang is much thicker and no welds. Third, that's not a tack weld. It's a forge weld (chemical weld) which is stronger. These knives are meant to be more of a collector piece, not to abuse by chopping down a tree. I use mine for display and an occasional knife to cut old shirts. Stays sharp. I've never sharpened it in the 10 years I had it

It's hard to be kind when someone makes as many completely goofy statements as you make in this one video. In the first place, you never use a knife to do the job of a machete unless you're at least two bricks shy of a load. More like two hundred bricks shy of a load. In the second place, that is not a rattail. There are several terms for that kind of tang, but rattail is not one of the. It's just a cheap hidden tang, and Gil Hibben did not even design that part of the knife. He made the design for the blade, and the cheap company that used the design added the cheapest tang imaginable to the blade design. In the third place, you lose a bunch more bricks for think this is actually a Gil Hibben knife at all, in any way. It isn't. It's a dirt cheap knife, made from dirt cheap Chinese steel, by a dirt cheap company, and you should have known what you were getting. But I suppose someone who would use a Bowie knife as a machete can't be expected to know much of anything. Even today, very few things from China are what they pretend to be, and this includes knife steel. You almost never get the steel a knife is supposed to be made of, you just get the Chinese approximation of that steel, which is usually pretty bad. What that knife was made, everything from China was pure garbage, and Gil Hibben had nothing to do with any product that came from China. In the fourth place, how in God's name could you not tell this knife was a cheap Chinese fake just by looking at it? And as soon as you picked it up, the weight, the grip, the pommel, the guards, and especially that that little pommel screw should have screamed EXTREMELY CHEAP FAKE! In the fifth place, you could have learned all of this by doing five minutes of real research. In the sixth place, I don't care how cheap a knife is, using old pliers to take off a nut means you are as far from knife knowledgeable as it's possible to get. But we knew that when you actually thought this was a Gil Hibben knife. Or when you actually thought this knife was worth more than two dollars.

However the aforementioned machete is very well suited for this type of work . It is too bad there wasn't the appropriate level of supervision on hand to intercede on his very poor and possibly fatal choice of implements for this task. What father has not instructed his adolescent offspring to trim the shrubs and trees, then came outside only to be horrified by his child's choice of instruments, for the task. This is clearly what isee has happened here. Wrong tool for the task! Chalk it up as a learning experience and you'll be none the worse for ware. Good day to you fine sir.

Beware of those who make fancy claims in the areas of bolt cutting and piercing silver dollars. If you want to cut a bolt get yourself a chisel. If you desire to punch holes in a few silver dollars you will find a drill press does a much smoother job. It is true that any good piece of steel can be sharpened to an edge that will do these things, however, a knife sharpened to skin a deer or elk will not make a satisfactory chisel or punch. - Gil Hibben (From his first catalog, 1964)

Nice looking knife! Even though it may be of a weaker quality, look on the bright side! You can drill a hole in the tang, and have a screw secure the handle. You can also try to take it to a knife-maker who could perhaps reweld the tang tail with a better quality material. Look at the Extrema Ratio Mk2.1 tang solution. It also uses somewhat similar technique. Also, if you choke up on the handle and do not abuse the knife, it could serve you well. You know cheapo knives are great for getting the feeling of the real one, and make nice decorations, light use hobby knives. How about in the kitchen? So cheer up! This is not a 600 dollar strider that you find that you don't like anymore, or worse yet, scratched up!!!!

As many here rightfully have commented jimmy Lile designed and made the knives for the first two rambo movies. For the 3rd movie Sylvester Stallone, as also mentioned in previous comments, wanted something different. And here's where I'm not really sure about what actually happened but I was told that mr Stallone first went to Bill Moran and wanted him make him a st23 knife which I believe was a design mr Moran made as early as in the 60s. Mr Stallone apparently wanted mr Moran to make him the knife for free since the knife would be featured in the movie thus making it and and for most it's maker famous which mr Stallone maybe thought would sufficient pay for the knife. So when mr Moran declined the offer Stallone went to Gil Hibben asking him to make a knife for him which mr Hibben also did copying Bill Moran's st23 design. That's why the rambo 3 knife looks the way it does and if laid side by side with the st23 anyone should see that it in fact is a straight out copy of mr Moran's design. This is how the story was told to me, or at least how I remember it, 30 years ago when I went to the ABS Bill Moran school of bladesmiting in Arkansas. Since I haven't read all the comments I don't know if someone already brought this to attention but I definitely think it should.
@jumblesaleboo11 ай бұрын
Sorry, but this is incorrect.....Stallone went to Jimmy Lile after Moran and that was the beginning of the First Blood Knife. Moran had nothing to do with the Rambo III knife....As I formally mentioned, it was Gil Hibben's Coffin Handle Bowie Stallone wanted modified, for the Rambo III movie knife...Stallone wanted a "slot" not a huge oval, that Jimmy did as a prototype. I think you are referring to the Hibben "Arizona Bowie', that was never used in the film, it was actually made for Last Blood, which was never used.....Some people who are ill-informed wrongly stating that the Hibben 'Arizona Bowie' is a copy of a Moran knife. Stallone went to Moran first, THEN, Jimmy Lile and that was the birth of the First Blood Knife....Gil Hibben wasn't even involved until late 1986 AFTER Stallone rejected Jimmy Lile's oval slot Bowie. Stallone then approached Gil Hibben, as he wanted to use Gil Hibben's Coffin Handle Bowie blade for the Rambo III knife. I hope this has dispelled some of the incorrect information that is doing the rounds on the internet? Did you ever try and contact Hibben Knives to verify the facts first? IF you had, Linda Hibben, would have been more than happy to give you the facts, as the Hibben family are very approachable, and will ALWAYS find time to reply to your questions. :)

I also need to correct you with some FACTS. For a start, Stallone had collected many of Gil Hibben's HANDMADE knives for years, before he approached Gil Hibben, to make the Rambo III knife back in 1986, for the movie. Stallone wanted the blade to look like Gil Hibben's Coffin Handle Bowie. With some twoing and throwing, between Gil Hibben and Stallone, they came up with the handle shape that we all know today. You have incorrectly stated that the knife you are showing is one of Gil Hibben's handmade knives, which is incorrect. Gil Hibben, allowed United Cutlery to make a slightly scaled down mass produced copy, so that the fans of the movie, who couldn't afford a hand made knife could have one. These mass produced factory made knives were NEVER intended to be manufactured for hard use, and were manufactured for display purposes, or for light use. The craftsmanship and materials that Gil Hibben uses for his handmade version, will take a lot of hard use, but everything has a breaking point! You can purchase a set of Snap-On tools, but if you abuse the hell out of them, they will eventually break and fail, that is common sense. Gil Hibben has made handmade knives for over 40 years, and has been recognised and given many awards, for his craft. Here is an analogy for you, I could go out tomorrow and buy a cheap knock-off Rolex watch, and a few weeks or months later, the internals will stop working, or the strap will break! A more expensive original Rolex however, is made by professionals, with top of the range materials, and should last a lifetime, if however, something fails, which is not due to abuse, it will be covered on the lifetime warranty.... So you get what you pay for I am afraid....You buy a mass produced factory replica from a flea market, that is solely intended for display purposes, do not expect it to hold up, like a handmade knife would....

I can see why you think that is garbage and rightfully so, but I am a collector of knives and I have just purchased a Gil Hibben Karambit which the quality is excellent. I'm used to collecting cold steel knives and victorinox also. I'm not sure about Gil Hibben yet but I would ring them up and complain as that Bowie is crap. For such a heavy knife having a parcial tang is just madness.

Ya this is the guy we need technical and mechanical expertise from one who uses a pliers on a headed bolt . None of my hibbin knives have ever given me a lick of trouble and they have been used and abused for years now.after watching this review I went down and took mine apart just to see if there was any differance ,mine looks norhing like the one in the review same basic desighn but neatly done and zero rust on the bolt .The only problem I have ever had is with the sheaths I just don't like them but that is because I can make my own .THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM IT IS NORMALL WITH LOW AND MID RANGE PRICED KNIVES THE SHEATHS ARE ALL LACKING in one way or the other but the knives are all great so fare some 40 years of buying and playing with them . There was an od statment made by the reviewer the blade was to hard HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Gil Hibbin makes excellent knives, u need to clarify that Gil Hibbin didn't build that knife, it may now be ur opinion that Hibbin makes garbage, but u would be mistaken, Unighted Cutlery is not known for great builds, and thats who made ur knife, its a movie replica, u would think it would be usable, but use was not its intended purpose, its a novalty knife, for show, to collect, display etc. How many actual Gil Hibbin knives do u own, to call them garbage? What did u pay for that knife? 100$ maybe? Gil Hibbins version was about $700.00, the 30 year anniversary edition is $1280.00 big difference in quality there sir. U should do more research before telling people the guy makes garbage knives, based off of one knife that he didnt build. Peace

I look at Hibben knives as decorative art. Something to use on a camp - I use a Cold Steel SRK. I know there are better blades out there for actual heavy use. Gil makes art knives and I personally like his stuff. Plus, he has a few dozen designs at least and that is just one - and I'm not sure that is a legit Hibben.

That knife isn't the real thing. It is meant to be collected and not used. They go for ~$140 new. It is a prop/memorabilia reproduction. It is not to say that it isn't a cool piece to display, just not meant for cutting down trees and other normal things. Gil Hibbins designed the Rambo III knife. Believe it or not, you can still buy a quality Jimmy Lile Rambo I and II reproduction knife that is actually meant to be used. They go for $2k+, but at the end of the day, that is what was really used in the films. The knife you have was made just to give fans and collectors a taste of the look and feel of the real thing, just not the functionality.

I know this video is 3 years old, and I've seen countless people correct you on your errors. However I just have to say it as well. That is NOT an actual Gil Hibben knife. I can share the video with you, but I've watched a video on here of a guy talking with Hibben himself. Hibben sells his knives (and only a few of them) on his website. However he gave United Cutlery the permission to copy some of his knives for mass production and for collectors. Master Cutlery and Hollywood reproduction companies do not have that permission and will make even more poor quality reproduction knives. I have a rambo 3 knife just like it. You can tell the quality isn't all that good but for light usage. But it's expected when Hibben sells his work for over $200 all the way to over $1000. You get what you pay for. But don't dis Gil Hibben knives when it's not even an authentic Hibben. You should have said don't use United Cutlery

And another guy who just talks nonsense on KZbin. Firstly, the procedure for welding a threaded rod is used by many knife makers. Secondly, the knife shown is designed by Gil Hibben and manufactured in small numbers, but most were mass-produced in China under license from United Cuttlery. That means that it is a replica of a Gil Hibben knife. I've been using the so-called Gil Hiben Highlander Bowie for 32 years, as seen in Natural Born Killers, and I can't complain about its flawless functionality over the long period of time. So before you badmouth someone in a video, get the right information.

This is a Chinese knockoff of a real Gil Hibben knife. These can be found all over eBay! The First Blood and First Blood Part 2 knives were designed by Jimmy Lile, and unfortunately there are numerous Chinese knockoffs of his knives all over the internet. Master Cutlery has the license to the Rambo name, and they produce those knives in China as well. The 1980's United Cutlery replicas were closely monitored by Jimmy Lile, Stallone, Hibben, and Carolco Pictures as the official movie replicas produced in Taiwan. Even those knives are not meant to be used as actual survival knives, and they are literally just considered movie props. The real Hibben and Lile Rambo knives are priced well over 1000 dollars.

It was always my thought that the Rambo 3 knife was designed more for the fantasy element rather than its practical application.

Well clearly I'm his fan and clearly I can tell difference between hand made knife made by Gil Hibben and Design by Gil Hibben made in china....You know what that means right ? yea it means they are using Gil Hibben Design lol . I know devil is in the detail but it got you confused right ? Anyways who knows what would you do in his position but a lot of people are selling their design and I'm sure you wold do the same if the opportunity came knocking. In this case the UC company is using his design ,that is far from the original knife. There is not much he can say as far as the material used to make those chines knives. Some companies are using his name illegally, what are you going to say about that ? Clearly companies want to use his name because he is famous guy. And now he is even more famous because of that . (nothing wrong with it) Lastly I do agree with you that all those Chines copies are junk (99%) and people should be warned about them 100% true. I my self did the same mistake at the beginning because I didn't know better. We all learn every day and one of the most important skill to learn now days is how to distinguish between deceiving advertisement and reality .
