Hibben Damscus Blade with Wire wrapped handle broke for no reason
"This knife was given to me as a gift 2 years ago and it sat on display on a shelf. One day I looked at the knife and I found that the wire wrapping just snapped. I asked BUDK about this and if it can be repaired. All they said to me was it was beyond their 60 day return policy but thanks for reaching out to us. So i would not recommend this item at all."
Damascus? Club
"The "knife" arrived quick enough but was so dull out of the box I could NOT cut myself on the blade. I started to sharpen it, and the plastic case from the sharpener took off the "folds" on the blade. I should have started with a stone but it was too dull. The swirls from the folding come off if rubbed with a rag for several minutes. Did I get a knock off or does Damascus just mean a blade with painted swirls on it? If you just plan to display it, this is a nice knife but has no practical value as shipped and cannot be sharpened without losing some of the markings which distinguish it as "Damascus." This is the first thing I have purchased from budk that hasn't exceeded expectations and the staff was great about helping with the return."
Too Perfect
"I needed a large, durable fixed blade knife for every day use in the field and this knife is beyond expectations. Perfect balance and weight. The wire grip is a must when using a knife more than 50 times a day."
Awesome knife
"Im a Biker this is a beautiful well put together knife. The Damascus blade is stuning, the pomel,handle and blade is like one solid piece of metal rock solid just flows as you grip it tight. ( Not like some stupid deer knives with a screw in the end that comes loose from being on your belt ). Blade is sharp as a razor for use or just add to your collection this is a prize piece and any of your friends see it you will be their envy. The leather case is no slouch either thick and sturdy."
Ultimate
"The ultimate z-day blade!"
Prettiest Knife I Own
"I Have A Big Collection And I Like This Knife, The Best Of All."
Bent tip
"I own a number of Gil Hibben knives and up to this purchase I have had no complaints. This knife however arrived with a bent tip. The only thing I could do was to file it down until it was almost straight."
nice knife
"Nice knife, well made and balanced good. Good price for what you get."
Highest quality knife
"After purchasing the polished SS version of this bowie, I patiently waited for the Damascus version to go on-sale. My patience was eventually rewarded and I am thrilled with this knife. I'm not downgrading it on edge because any blade enthusiast should know how to grind, sharpen, and hone their own blades, especially non-stainless blades prone to rust. This one goes on display next to it's shiny twin. Thanks Hibben knives, and thanks BUDK!"
Gil Hibben Highlander Damascus Bowie
"This knife is awesome. The Damascus is beautiful and solid. Well worth the price (grab it while the price is cheap). The knife is worth way more than the closeout price. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it doesn't come sharp at all. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars hands down! I will buy a Gil Hibben blade any day. Shipping was great. Thanks BUDK!"
