Tundra Hunter | Gil Hibben – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Tundra Hunter is a sturdy bushcraft knife designed by the legendary knifemaker Gil Hibben. This full-tang knife with a 16.5 cm drop point blade is perfect for hunting, outdoor activities, and bushcraft tasks. The robust design weighs 381 grams and comes with a leather sheath.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip in the Ardennes, we thoroughly tested this knife. The drop point blade proved ideal for making fire sticks and working with wood. The weight did require some getting used to for finer tasks.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The 420HC stainless steel maintains a good balance between sharpness and maintenance – perfect for beginners. This steel stays reasonably razor-sharp for a long time and is easy to resharpen. The knife cuts effortlessly through wood, rope, and prepares food without any problems. The plain-edge cutting edge ensures clean, precise cuts.

Grip and ease of use

The full-tang construction provides perfect balance despite the weight. The handle offers a solid, ergonomic grip that remains comfortable even during intensive use. The chrome blade finish gives the knife a professional appearance.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for the serious bushcrafter or hunter looking for a reliable workhorse. Collectors will also appreciate the Gil Hibben name. For pure EDC users, its total length of 27.9 cm may be a bit large.

Maintenance and durability

The 420HC steel offers high durability and is stainless, but benefits from regular oiling. After use, simply clean and store dry in the supplied leather sheath. Sharpening is easy with a regular sharpening stone.
