I bought this knife as a smaller alternative to the Hibben III, which I also own. I found the quality to be excellent The knife was sharp and looks durable and well constructed. The proportions on this knife actually make it look like it has a bigger (wider) blade than the Hibben III. The sheath was of good quality as well and had a nice broken in feel to it. Highly recommended.

this is a beautiful high quality knife, its heavy,sharp,and flawless quality, I've wanted one for awhile, I work in a knife shop, but when this knife went on clearance and then the other 30% off, it was cheaper then i could get it through the shop! Dont miss out on this one.

Very sharp. Excellent balance. Another Hibben masterpiece! Go buy one!

The knife arrived and out of the box was sharp enough to remove hair from my arm extremely sturdy and the sheath was well made couldn't be happier

A true collector's item!!

NICE FEEL to it, wish I had ordered sooner. Would make an excelent gift for those who Love knives.

I just received my Gil Hibben III Fighter and I absolutely love it. This is the perfect knife for the outdoors. I love the weight, balance and styling of this knife. I unfortunately purchased through Amazon. Oh well, s#%t happens. I will definately recommend this bowie to all my friends. Gil Hibben is definately the best!

This knife was unexpectedly heavy which makes it great for combat or hunting. It came sharp right out of the box but I like my knifes sharp enough to shave so a little time on the whetstone and it keeps the edge.

I am very happy with this knife. A little extra time on the stone and she will shave ya.

I have become a fan of Hibben custom knives. I first purchased the Recon for my son's first field hunting knife and was so impressed with it I decided to purchase a Hibben knife for myself. Well, I have now purchased two for me and the latest is the Hibben III fighter, it is the bowie style kife I have always wanted. I am impressed with the weight and balance built into this knife. It is the perfect all around field and camp knife in my opinion. Mine did come fully sharpened and the blade is leathal.
