ARCHEOLOGICAL PROOF OF REINCARNATION
 

OH WHAT A GREAT DISCOVERY AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON EBAY ;) TAKE A LOOK AT EBAY ITEM #7421093595 WHICH HAS ENDED. THERE IS A 2300 YEAR OLD CHINESE BRONZE SWORD THAT MUST HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY GIL HIBBEN IN A PREVIOUS LIFE :D . OF COURSE IT SOLD AS THOSE ITEMS WHO HIDE THEIR BIDDERS IDENITYS INVARIABLY DO WHILE THOSE SELLING THE SAME ITEMS WITHOUT THE HIDDEN IDENITYS OFTEN GET NO BIDS. YET ANOTHER MYSTERY OF THE FAR EAST :D

LOL :D

Oh Vandoo. You are such a skeptic. :rolleyes:

Well I believe in Klingons.

Oh Damn!

I missed out on that one :p :D.

So what you are saying is that the Chinese didn't invent CNC Machining 4300 years ago?

PERHAPS A LITTLE BACKGROUND WOULD HELP. ONE OF THE MORE FAMOUS CONTEMPORARY DESIGNERS OF KNIVES AND SWORDS IN A TYPE OFTEN CALLED FANTASY SWORDS AND KNIVES IS GIL HIBBEN. THIS BRONZE AGE SWORD IS IN THAT STYLE SO I WAS SAYING THAT GIL HIBBEN MUST HAVE LIVED IN CHINA 2300 YEARS AGO AND SUCH A SWORD WAS PERHAPS PROOF OF REINCARNATION. I WAS JUST JOKEING, I HAVE SEEN MANY FANTASY KNIVES COMMING OUT OF CHINA FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS BUT HAD NOT SEEN A BRONZE EXAMPLE SAID TO BE FROM THAT PERIOD SO THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE A LITTLE FUN :D

I ALSO HAVE NOTHING AGAINST GIL HIBBEN AND LIKE SOME OF HIS WORK AND EVEN HAVE ONE OF HIS SIGNED KNIVES IN MY COLLECTION. I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE LOVED THEM WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE. SOME ARE QUITE SHOWY AND FIERCE LOOKING BUT NOT VERY FUNCTIONAL AND SOME ARE FUNCTIONAL BUT STILL HAVE FANTASY INFLUENCES AND NEW DESIGNS.

He will let go of your arm now.

I THINK MR HIBBEN IS DOING VERY WELL IN THIS INCARNATION CHECK RECENTLY ENDED EBAY AUCTION #6637151637 . JUST THINK WHAT HIS WORK WILL BE WORTH 2300 YEARS FROM NOW.

THERE ARE MANY SERIOUS COLLECTORS OF MODERN MADE KNIVES AND THEY TAKE THEIR HOBBY AS SERIOUSLY AS WE DO OURS. I AM THANKFUL THAT THERE ARE COLLECTORS OF THE MORE RECENT ITEMS AS IT SUPPORTS THE CRAFT AND ALLOWS SOME ARTISTS TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS AND MAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL EDGED WEAPONS.
I THINK THE RAMBO KNIVES WERE DESIGNED BY MR. HIBBEN AS WELL AS SOME OTHER MOVIE SWORDS. SEEMS I ALSO REMEMBER THAT SYLVESTER STALLONE WAS COLLECTING KNIVES AT ONE TIME BUT WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT OR IF HE CONTINUES TO COLLECT.

Gil Hibben is very kind and proud of his work. When I was last at his house, I saw a mock up of a Klingon batlith he was making as a commission from Las Vegas. He admits that his area is without question fantasy, though he does have familiarity with kendo, PI martial arts, and Japanese swords among other things.

I have his nasty looking raven knife - my first blade :) I have also his throwing knives, used by Steven Segal in the movie where he was a cook on a battleship, they're great for throwing (and cutting vegetables also) :D
