does anyone on the forums have any experience with the gil hibben old west bowie knife :? ,i recently ordered one for my boss who's retiring this year,i do plan on getting some engraving on it ,to commerorate his 40 years at my work place
and though it is primerily a display piece for him ,i wanted to know is it any good,
im not a big fan of slo's or klo's for that matter and the large stainless blade worries me somewhat,and lets face it most of gil hibbens work is meant for display use only,i just know that he'll end up cutting with it ,and im trying to put my mind at rest that it will at least stand up to some medium cutting/chopping

as to the stainless ,yes thats a bit of a worry,and to be honest id prefer a 6"" blade in 01 tool steel *though he does seem to love big bowie's) ill have to try and get rid of the made in china logo (personally i wouldnt have the knife for myself,but he thinks on the old thats not a knife rule of thumb) i did get a very good deal though $89 which translated to around £60
