Gil Hibben High Polish Karambit With Sheath

Great quality/good price. Pics of both I purchased in November/2023. Coated them with three in one oil. Sharpened them with kitchen knife sharpening stick put a very sharp razor edge on both. Also used same oil on sheath including insides of straps so no dry rot. I really like the long curved blade when held in reverse grip. Really like the belt loop on the sheath. I hook both up with a dog collar in pic then put them both on my e d c carry bag when out and about. Got name laser engraved on them as well. Everyone in my karate class are ordering two they told me. Affordable price for me, great quality my thoughts.

High polished blade and pretty sharp along the edge. Don't face the Apocalypse nor the economic collapse without one in each hand!

This knife came razor sharp right out of the box. This is a great looking knife that would be a wonderful display piece , unfortunately I purchased the karambit for actual use. This knife is to big for actually wielding it as it was intended . I have large hands and when the knife is gripped properly, there is to much of the handle open between my hand and the blade. As for carrying comfortably on your belt, well just look at the pommel design . A well designed knife should not injure the user. I do think it is a great looking display knife but it isn’t practical for actual use.

Very nice karambit for the price..love the handle

Excellent knife great polished finish very sharp all around 5star

It's good quality and reliable but I found that the handle was a little short for my hand and also that the one Spike the faces up with constantly poking me in the side so I had to grind it off but overall after I ground it off excellent razor-sharp and holds an edge wonderful

Great blade, another high quality piece as are all the Hibben knives I've bought.... just wish it were available with a left handed sheath

Fantastic blade, Great job Gil Hibben! Very well designed and fantastic fit & finish. Very sharp right out of the box, I did need to touch up to my liking.

One thing to say awesome

I can’t say enough about this karambit. It’s awesome it’s really sharp. Looks great. Great leather sheath. Thank you Sir mr. Hibben

Yes, the blade came quite sharp, But i touched it up to my liking. It is Very highly polished, but, i will do mine again because i have noticed a polished blade cuts more Quickly, More Deeply, and more Easily. It helps resist stains and corrosion. I realize the Point must be difficult to copy from the original, the point of this knife is lackluster, but will come with time, so no big deal. The sheath is still in treatment, and will remain there for the full time, i want it to last a long time. The knife-sheath fit is dead on, great job. Overall, i am Very Happy with this Knife and sheath. Congratulations to Hibben Knives , United Cutlery, and Kennesaw Cutlery, i am just too picky.

I've been a fan of Gil hibbens work for a long time. I must say this knife is something special. Razor sharp out the box, good comfortable grip, and a nice matching leather sheath. Like all his work, you get what you pay for. Well done. Thanx budk

Great knife. razor sharp. BE CAREFUL!!

Love this knife, came out of the box razor sharp. One thing I must say is DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH THIS KNIFE, it is insanely sharp.

This is my second karambit and my first Gill Hi Ben. Awesome!!!This knife makes my other karambit cry. Excellent quality. Good weight and a nice thick sheath. It's my daily belt knife. It came sharp out of the box and has a fierce look. Order this knife! You can't go wrong.

Tis is by far my favorite BudK purchase to date. Unlike many United Cutlery knives designed by Gil Hibben, the sheath on this one fit perfectly right out of the box. It's a very attractive looking piece and is made well. The blade came factory sharpened well enough and after honing it on ceramic was razor sharp. a lot of karambits don't fit larger hands well, but this one does. There's other similarly priced karambits out there, but I recommend this one over all others in the price range.

It's like everything Gil designs, quality knives and matching quality sheaths. I am not entirely fond of the grip however. The one design aspect I absolutely don't care for is the fore-finger groove near the edge. ( I also had to sharpen it.) I think I will Dremel tool that blade edge/corner to avoid cutting myself. My biggest disappointment was waiting for it to deliver. Fed Ex? Really? SO CHEESY! They got it here in 3 days when it should only take two days and then gave it to U.S.P.S. and it took 2 more days. Post office would've gotten it here faster if you just sent it through them or U.P.S.! No accurate tracking either, Just generalizations. All in all, this Karambit is the best one I could find.

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised when I received this blade. From a quality and durability standpoint, it is a great value for the price. I was looking for a karambit style fighting knife that would be highly functional, reliable, and intuitive in feel and balance. This blade has exceeded my expectations. At first the grip felt a bit weird, but when ii began to handle the blade as a fighter, the blade molded to my grip and flowed smoothly as I practiced the various angles of attack. I immediately fell in love with this blade. Kudos to Gil Hibben!

Just got my Gil Hibben karambit today and wow this is a very nice knife came highly polished and sharp as a razor. I saw reviews of the honshu karambits and I am glad I waited for this to come back in stock typical Gil Hibben quality and BudK prices. If you want a deadly knife this is it thanks BudK.

This knife comes highly polished just as it says and very sharp. This is the best karambit I have ever seen, I have many different karambits none compares to this Gil Hibben. 9.25" makes this knife bigger than any other Karambit. The leather sheath is very well made and the knife looks excellent on my side. I can't imagine any one could find any fault with this knife. Thank you.

Typically I love Hibben knives, I have a few of them. This one however, could be better imho. There are a couple different options for holding it in either forward or back grip but, none of them are particularly comfortable for me. While the blade is razor sharp, I'm reasonably sure I could snap it quite easily. Luckily this knife doesn't see much use beyond occasionally opening a letter or package, it just hangs around looking cool, which it does. This certainly won't deter me from collecting more Hibben knives.

I have small hands for a guy my size, the handle was still barely long enough. The ring position is slightly uncomfortable in the standard grip. A reverse grip, a big part of a karambits design, not a possibility. As a blade, it's very attractive, high quality. Missing half it's functionality, big hit.
