Gil Hibben Handmade "Sly's Hibben III" Lockback Folder

NOW TAKING ORDERS

Gil Hibben has a long history with actor, director, writer and knife collector Sylvester Stallone. Even before Stallone asked Gil to make the iconic knife for “Rambo III” in 1987 he had added Gil’s custom knives to his own personal collection. Since then, Sly has asked Gil to make other knives for his movies and personal enjoyment.

Recently Gil and Sly talked about making a unique signature knife for Sly. Gil suggested making a large folding knife based on the knife Gil designed for the movie “Rambo III”.

Stallone ordered 2 of the handmade prototypes to give to his co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis during the filming of his upcoming movie “The Expendables”.

Only 25 of this special knife will be made.

This huge folder features a 5 3/4 x 2 inch blade of 3/16 inch thick mirror polished 440C stainless steel. The blade will be marked “Sly's Hibben III” and have Gil’s “Hibben Knives La Grange” mark along with his signature. It will also be indivually serial numbered "xx of 25".

The knife has stainless steel liners and bolsters. The handles are black micarta with imitation ivory inlays suitable for scrimshaw and personalization.
