Gil Hibben Old West Bowie Knife Damascus

I got this knife ten or twelve years ago with money from my first job. My brother and I spent lots of time forging trails through the woods. I cut down trees about a foot in diameter easily with this knife. I cut off a dead dear’s head with this knife. I killed somewhere between 18 and 25 rattlesnakes with this knife. I’ve sliced tri tip steaks for weastern banquets in the Mojave desert with this knife. I’ve thrown, chopped, sliced, baton’d, dropped, swam, hiked, eaten and otherwise used this knife for years and used it hard and this knife never quits. Here I am ten or twelve years later and the tip is a little bent. The bayonet guard came off years ago.those are my only “complaints.” This knife doesn’t stop. It’s about time to honorably retire this one. Hang it over the fireplace. I’d like a new one. Thanks for over ten years of great knife memories.

Excellent knife, used it in the woods multiple times and this sucker has some chopping power. Sharpened it up a bit more and now this thing is a monster in your hand. Very heavy, worth the extra cost for the Damascus version.

The best ever. period
