    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 😝. Love me some Hibben. Stay safe my brother

    Amazing collection! I said before your Hibben collection dwarfs mine by a long shot! I absolutely love the Tundra design, and want one so I can see how it feels in the hand. The Expendables and Old West are on my list too. I just picked up 2 more custom-made blades from his shop, the Kenpo II, which wow, it puts the UC Alaskan and Kenpo II to shame (both blades which I absolutely love), and the Kenpo Jon Sepulveda, which is another amazing piece! The Sepulveda looks similar to the Legacy Combat on your table, but the tip is more of a clip point, and looks more aggressive. Excellent collection, and I can't wait to see what else you show us knife lovers.

    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.
