4.0 out of 5 stars
Knife bling,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: United Cutlery GH627 Gil Hibben Highlander Bowie with Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement)
This isn't what you'd call an outdoor knife. I bought an original issue of this Hibben some thirty years ago. It and an old Arkansas toothpick got stolen from my house some time back. Getting this was more nostalgia than anything else.
Style wise it doesn't look Bowie. The high gloss steel and wire rapped handle looks Medieval; which is probably the attraction. Knife is 13 1/5 inches long, has 8 inches of blade and an inch of ricasso above the guard. Like everything else commercial today, it was manufactured in China. Just how hard the metal is and how well it will hold it's edge is doubtful. Balance of the knife is very good. The grip is adequate, but I prefer a longer, more secure grip for my size 11 paws. You can achieve more control by reaching over the guard and wrapping your index finger into the ricasso. Like I said, this is a good, impressive piece, but it has no utility and winds up being a wallhanger bit of edged weapon bling. |
