Old West Toothpick | Gil Hibben

Old West Toothpick | Gil Hibben – An Impressive Bowie Knife for Collectors

This imposing Bowie knife is a creation by the legendary Gil Hibben, renowned for his iconic designs for Rambo and The Expendables. With a blade length of over 30 cm and crafted from high-quality AUS-8 stainless steel, this is a striking collector’s item with genuine film history. The mirror-polished finish gives the knife a premium appearance.

Experience from the Shogun team

Upon unboxing, the stunning mirror-polished finish immediately stood out – truly breathtaking. The weight of 821 grams makes the knife heavy in hand, which makes it less suitable for fieldwork but perfect for display purposes.

Performance and sharpness of this Bowie knife

The AUS-8 steel offers an excellent balance between hardness and toughness. This knife retains its sharpness for a considerable time and is relatively easy to sharpen. The spearpoint blade shape cuts effortlessly through rope and sturdy cardboard, although the size makes it less suitable for precision work. The plain-edge grind ensures a smooth, effective cut.

Grip and ease of use

The classic hardwood handle sits comfortably in the hand, despite the substantial weight. The brass spine on the blade enhances the premium look. As a fixed blade knife, it does not require an opening mechanism or lock – it is always ready for use.

Who is this Bowie knife suitable for?

This impressive knife is ideal for the serious collector or film enthusiast who appreciates the connection with The Expendables. Due to its weight of 821 grams, it is less suitable for outdoor activities, but as a display piece or for ceremonial purposes it is perfect.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the stainless steel, this knife requires little maintenance – regular cleaning and light oiling are sufficient. The included leather sheath provides excellent protection for the knife. Please note: the high-gloss blade finish can develop scratches with intensive use, so handle it with care.
