Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife
This is the machete that everyone is still talking about! Another exceptional example of craftsmanship from master knife maker Gil Hibben™, this machete was designed for Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo character to be used in the hit motion picture Rambo, and was also featured on the cover of Blade Magazine. Crafted of one solid piece of 1090 carbon steel, this machete is heat-forged and honed to a razor-sharp finish, providing the chopping and slicing power needed in a quality machete like this one. The heat-forged construction of the blade creates a unique, weathered finish for an eye-catching and appealing look as well as durability that will withstand tough use. The handle of this massive blade features black cord wrappings for the secure, comfortable grip you need in a machete of this caliber. Included in the handle is a genuine leather lanyard, which is handy for carrying as well as for utilizing the strength of this machete. Also included is a heavy-duty, genuine leather sheath to house the blade. The sheath features a large belt loop, making the machete convenient to carry or transport. The heavy-duty construction of the sheath keeps the blade secure so you don’t have to worry about it slipping or slicing through the sheath. Measuring a staggering 16 1/2" overall, this machete was designed to be tough enough for Rambo, and it is surely tough enough for any job you need it for, too. The heavy construction, combined with the thoughtful finishing touches and accents, makes this machete both functional and visually pleasing, giving you a blade that will stand the test of time and be used and enjoyed for generations. Includes certificate of authenticity.

I was very pleased when this "Beast" arrived. It has a good "machete edge" right out of the box. It's not razor sharp but I don't want a razor edge on a chopping machete. The handle will probably need some extra wrapping as I have large hands but this one is much better than one I saw at a knife and gun show.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

This monster is heavy, a little dull out of the box and the wrap on the handle could be a little better/thicker but after putting an edge on it and a pair of gloves I took down a dozen small trees about a foot across each without a problem. A lot of fun and a must have for anyone!Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Talk about a heavy piece of steel!! I was very impressed when I received the Hibben Machete and took it out of the box. The weight behind this tool is unbelievable. I have not yet had the chance to use it, and the only thing I seen that I would liked to have changed was the sharpness of the blade. There is a small edge on it but compared to other knives that I have purchased from BUDK, it was a bit on the dull side. Other than that, I liked it.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Good heft. Pros would want to sharpen it to a keener edge. Good for small brush and bone/joints if you have that need. This is the workhorse. If you want a display one, go for the Hibben III Machete which is superb.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I recieved this machete today and I was super excited. I pulled it out of the box and I was almost disappointed. The sheath is faux leather and the cord on the handle is not very good, and me having large hands, the handle is uncomfortable but that can very easily be fixed. I went to do my usual paper cut test and couldn't slice anything.the thing was duller than a butter knife! The bevel was ridiculously uneven, so I had to reprofile the blade completely. After I got it all shaped, I had no problem cutting with it. It has a good weight. Now I don't want to discourage others from buying this, because it may just be mine that was not up to standard. For $39 it was a decent buy. I would recommend that there be a hand picked option for this item though.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Rating5 star5
This is a "he-man" machete. It's tough, heavy, and brings out the primitive cave-man in me. It's got a great look and balance for a heavy machete in that the blade will do the work instead of your muscles. I give this 5 BIG stars for being an excellent value and a tough machete. I only have two criticisms of this machete, and they are minor. First, it wasn't sharp at all out of the box. You don't want a razors edge on a high carbon steel machete, but this was pretty much butter knife dull coming out of the box. No problem that I can't fix in a few minutes with my sharpener though. The other minor complaint is that the wrapping on the handle is pretty cheezy. If you are going to hang it on the wall in your man-cave, it's perfect for that. But if you are going to actually use it you will want to wrap it either in a tougher leather or paracord. But those are 2 very minor complaints about a great machete/knife. I can't imagine a heavy cutting job that this beauty wouldn't be able to handle. If you are on the fence about buying one, just do it. I promise you won't be disappointed!Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Rating4 star4
Been shopping for a "QUALITY" machete for some time. Most out there wont manage the thick woods/swamps of Michigan's Upper Penninsula. I had been looking at this machete for some time but didn't like the $80.00 price tag. When it went on sale I immediately ordered it. Was impressed with its weight and the massive blade right out of the box. It arrived fairly sharp. A few strokes of the accusharp and it was ready to go. Only complaint was the handle wrap and the lanyard. Pretty cheaply done considering the construction of the machete. I replaced both with parachord and now its good to go. At this price now, "BUY this BEAST"Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
