"WICKED HEAVY AND SHARP, IDEAL FOR CHOPPING WHATEVER. EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT."
"So I bought this beauty a while back. Came in a week later…..and the handle was broken. Sent it back. It got lost somehow but the good folks at Bud K helped me track it down and made it right. Got my second one in and worked great …until I noticed the hilt was separated from the handle. Nothing major and the knife still functions as it should. I managed to get it back in place and secured it with some epoxy and screw glue. Still one of my favorite knives and I take it with me everywhere. Thx again bud k."
"Amazing, it cleared everything and more without a scratch and the weight is very well balanced another great product from hibben"
"I am amazed how well it is made. The leather sheath is unbelievable quality."
"This is a crazy cool looking knife or machete. I absolutely love the style and shape of this thing. That being said it is about the worst machete I have ever owned. The tang of the blade comes down to a small point and is welded to a piece of all-thread and a nut holds the base on. That all-thread is soft stuff and bends super easy. Do not plan on actually using this as a functional woods knife or machete."
"5 star blade and handle. 5 star sheath. The only thing was I had to file/sand edges of tang/hand guard. To sharp of an edge it’s not sharp enough to cut you it just irritating and you can’t unnotice it. Easy fix needed a bit more R & D Mr.Hibbens. Lol"
"I once reviewed this knife about four years ago (the review is still there). I still have the same one I bought. Since I bought it, I've put it through some tough work, which was what I wanted it for. Guys, I can still shave the hair on my arms with it, yet it hacks into just about anything I do with it. When I need something to pair with the chainsaw for clearing and downing trees, I have this knife there. It's been four years and I still turn to this knife when I need something of this heft. It is simply fantastic."
"Although this Knife is on the pricey side I would recommend it. I am a Huge fan of most of Hibbens designs. This is a great looking weapon it is not too heavy for carry, its leather sheath is high quality. The ONLY issue I have had with it is, It is TOO nice looking, yeah thats right I all but cringed the first few times I used it to cut through brush and or tree, it Cleans up well, comes back to edge with minimal work. It is far superior to the other Hibben IV that is a bit cheaper, (and not worth the savings)"
"I bought this and hibben Alaska survival knife as lower priced stunt doubles for muela Sherpa machete and lancero knife both hibben models closly resemble the muela knives. does any see the pattern here.the combat machete is brittle junk.alaska knife is very durable for made in china.have sent machete to united once for warranty replacement they honor lifetime warranty.would not want to abuse my expensive muela knives with what I have done to these,practice makes perfect."
