Product Description
As the creator of some of the most widely recognized knives in the industry today, Gil Hibben’s knowledge and over 60 years of experience are unprecedented in the world of custom knife making. When it comes to knives, he always knows exactly what you need, and his HTF Recon Bowie Knife is a beefy fixed blade that you’ll carry all the time. The bowie has a 5 1/4" stainless steel blade, which extends from a hefty stainless steel handguard. The handle is crafted of heavy-duty wood and it has a stainless steel pommel. The 10" overall knife can be carried in its genuine, premium leather belt sheath.
420 is a higher carbon stainless steel used in high-end equipment such as surgical scalpels, scissors, bearings, etc.. It holds a edge far beyond anything I've ever owned and almost feel guilty using it. By far the best knife I have ever bought. Its a decent size right around 10 inches although I would have preferred it to be slightly shorter. It has a great thick leather sheath. Great knife.

HTF Recon Bowie
Like the other reviewers, I am very happy with the Hibben HTF Recon Bowie. The heft and feel, striking design, and balance are all outstanding. This "shorter" bowie is still a very substantial knife, and one you will never feel is inadequate. It handles very well. The blade is a pretty hard stainless steel and it took a little work to take it from sharp, which it was on delivery, to razor sharp, but it was worth the effort. The leather sheath is quite nice as well. You won't regret getting one of these.

Instantly a favorite!
I instantly fell in love with this knife the second I pulled it from the box. I originally purchased it as a mate to the Hibben Tactical Fighter III, intending on using it as a skinner. However, this knife has such nice heft, balance, and is unparalleled in sharpness and ability to hold an edge that I find myself pulling it from it's sheath more than the Tactical Fighter. It's blade is about half as long, but a good, hefty weight and thick steel that can take whatever you dish out to it. Feels really nice in your hand too! Buy one--you won't regret it! Hibben/United makes the highest quality and most utilitarian knives for the best prices! These are not wall-hangers. They are every day, useful tools!
