As the creator of some of the most widely recognized knives in the industry today, Gil Hibben’s knowledge and 50 years of experience are unprecedented in the world of custom knifemaking. He is the creator of the popular Rambo™ III bowie and Rambo IV machete, each specially made for the Sylvester Stallone films, and knives for other Hollywood productions and personalities, such as John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, and Steven Seagal. He created the Klingon blades for the “Star Trek Experience” in Las Vegas and is the “Official Klingon Armourer” for Paramount Pictures.
Gil produced knives for our servicemen to use in Vietnam and his firsthand experience as an Alaskan hunting guide, a throwing knife expert, and a sixth degree black belt in Kenpo Karate have contributed to his creating some of the most popular knives of the 20th Century. In October of 2003, Gil was inducted into the Knife Throwers Hall of Fame for his many contributions to throwing knife designs. United® Cutlery is proud to offer production knives that are based on Gil's designs.
