Hibben Legacy Bowie
This is a very fine and handsome knife, and a steal for the price. Without going into much detail, this is not one of Hibben's fantasy knives, but a real fighter through and through, and his Kenpo knife background really shows in this one. The grip is smooth but very ergonomic so there's no slip. Despite having a full tang, the balance makes it feel very light and nimble. It is beveled for a false-edge but the back comes unsharpened so subjects in places where the 2nd amendment of the constitution is infringed can purchase it. It can be quickly sharpened by a pro, however. The fit and finish is excellent. The black leather sheath is well done, but the exception, why I hold back one star, is the cut on the top of the sheath really doesn't match the knife in my case, making seating it and securing the snap a bit of a chore.
Another Great Hibben Blade
Received one of these as a gift with the box and sheath autographed by Gil & Wes Hibben. I liked the blade so much I wanted to carry it but didn't want to mess up the signed sheath, so I bought another Legacy from Amazon so I could use and carry the knife. Excellent razor-sharp blade; the handle, with its "trigger" or "sub-hilt" fore finger notch, fits my hand perfectly whether I choose to use the "trigger" or not. Also love the lanyard hole at the end of the handle, it is a weapon itself. Made a nice paracord lanyard for the knife, and carry it regularly.
Best knife I own
This is my first United Cutlery knife and I am very very happy with it. It was packaged with care!!! It came very quickly from the company. The knife is a very sturdy one. Buy it, and you will see what I am talking about. I use to be a Cold Steel fan until I bought a United Cutlery, now I switched.
