Review: Serious machete - I collect edged weapons and already had the Gil Hibben III, which is a cross between a cleaver and scimitar and is a work of art.I handled the Hibben IV at a gun show ($90.00)and was impressed. This thing is a BEAST. No bells or whistles, just 2 lbs of 1090 high carbon steel.The grip area is wrapped with flat black leather, which feels good. It comes with a nice, heavy black leather sheath that has a large belt loop. The sheath has a "cosmetic" snap on the front(but no strap) with Hibben logo on the back. This is to stay true to the movie version. There are 2 holes for leg tie-down on the bottom of the sheath and a hole in the handle of the blade with a brown leather wrist strap. The blade is approx. 1/4" thick and is sharpened about 2/3 of its' 18" length. It needs to be further sharpened, but with 1090 I haven't done it yet. In use, this is great for cutting heavy branches etc.,or for any chopping where the weight of the blade does the work. It is really too heavy for any long, sustained use. It is brutal as a weapon, and could easily knock-out or kill with a strike from the back of the blade. I would highly recommend it. I wanted a large blade I could chop anything with, without worrying about damaging it. This is it. A word of caution: The 1st one I ordered came with a visibly twisted blade, but I returned it quickly and easily, with free return UPS shipping,and fast credit back on my card. The 2nd had an 1/8" burr in the notch near the base of the blade, but since it doesn't effect its' use, I kept it. All things considered, a great blade for the price. Review: Knock off, but not a bad knife - It comes with a certificate of authenticity, but I have suspicions this isn't a Gil Hibbens original, as I saw this same one in the BUDK. However, that doesn't make it a bad replica of the Rambo IV knife. It's quite a whammer, inw solid hunky of steel. The blade comes darker than I've shown in my photos, as I took fine grit sandpaper to the blade to remove this dark coating. Also note that the blade comes with protective oil coating that can be easily wiped away with a towel. The knife comes unsharped, and is too thick for your normal kitchen knife sharpener, but can be sharpened with a whetstone or a power grinder, though I'd recommend the whetstone for better control. The knife also comes with a cloth wrap on the hilt. The movie knife used electrical tape, which I've added to my copy. The sheath is made of a tough fakeleather. Feels very cheap and plasticky, but I suppose it will keep the knife protected, though I would have preferred real leather myself. In all, I'm very happy with this purchase and it's a very well made knife despite the size and price. I would recommend it to your less discriminating Rambo fan and any knife collector. ## Features - MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP: Designed by master knife maker Gil Hibben, this machete is forged from a single piece of 1090 carbon steel, ensuring unparalleled strength and durability. - UNIQUE WEATHERED FINISH: The blade features a distinctive weathered finish, adding a rugged, battle-ready aesthetic to this formidable machete. - GENUINE LEATHER SHEATH: Includes a heavy-duty leather sheath for safe storage and transport, ensuring your machete is protected and ready for action whenever you are. - CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: Each machete comes with a certificate of authenticity, verifying its quality and making it a valuable collectible for enthusiasts and movie fans alike. - COMFORTABLE CORD-WRAPPED HANDLE: Equipped with a black cord-wrapped handle, this machete provides a secure and comfortable grip for extended use in any conditions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0015RGWHW | | Best Sellers Rank | #694,815 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #374 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 11.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Gil Hibben | | Brand Name | Gil Hibben | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 197 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Handle Material | Cord | | Included Components | see description | | Item Dimensions L x W | 18.25"L x 1.63"W | | Item Type Name | Hibben IV Machete | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Gil Hibben | | Manufacturer Part Number | GH5007-BRK | | Model Number | GH5007 | | Product Style | Modern | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 760729500709 720670317337 | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 11.25 Inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Gil Hibben - **Handle Material:** Cord - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife with Leather Sheath | Heat Forged 1090 Carbon Steel | Weathered Blade Finish | Black Cord-Wrapped Handle | Rugged Machete for Practical Use | 18 1/4" Overall - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516WfAlVJhL.jpg) ![Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife with Leather Sheath | Heat Forged 1090 Carbon Steel | Weathered Blade Finish | Black Cord-Wrapped Handle | Rugged Machete for Practical Use | 18 1/4" Overall - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FJFzr1Q0L.jpg) ![Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife with Leather Sheath | Heat Forged 1090 Carbon Steel | Weathered Blade Finish | Black Cord-Wrapped Handle | Rugged Machete for Practical Use | 18 1/4" Overall - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613GNNYFSmL.jpg) ![Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife with Leather Sheath | Heat Forged 1090 Carbon Steel | Weathered Blade Finish | Black Cord-Wrapped Handle | Rugged Machete for Practical Use | 18 1/4" Overall - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pacS-bWXL.jpg) ![Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife with Leather Sheath | Heat Forged 1090 Carbon Steel | Weathered Blade Finish | Black Cord-Wrapped Handle | Rugged Machete for Practical Use | 18 1/4" Overall - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vYP2UyNSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serious machete *by F***N on January 13, 2011* I collect edged weapons and already had the Gil Hibben III, which is a cross between a cleaver and scimitar and is a work of art.I handled the Hibben IV at a gun show ($90.00)and was impressed.
