Gil Hibben - Damascus Highlander Bowie 2
Hello all, this is my new Gil Hibben Damascus Highlander bowie. It looked to be only 1 of a 1000 made. The blade was a bit rough out of the box, so I took some Red Wing boot oil and gave it a good buffing and it turned out nice. Very happy with all the Hibben knives.

Yes, so after a little TLC this blade is beautiful. I now have the regular and the Damascus version. It would look great as an old west shoot out at high noon! One on each side, and then a double slice!

Hey Steve,
No the blade wasn't rusty or damaged in any way. It was just a bit gritty. So I used some Red Wing boot oil and gave it good rub down and that fixed it all.

"The design looks like it would be useful for budding, JJ. I did some budding at a local orchard, but I never used a knife like this one."
