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)
