Still does. He made the knife for the new Rambo movie. Gil Hibben that is.
I understand he is a great teacher, as well. Just what I heard.

Yes, Gary, Ell Lobo is correct , Gil did make the Rambo III for the movie and is still taking orders for others , about $1500, as the 350 total has not yet been reached. The knife Gil made for the new movie and the futuristic Star Wars type stuff is not my cup of tea, but does have a big following as well. Gil does produce nothing but quality and is a very gifted artist / craftsman! Gil and his wife Linda are no doubt of the nicest people you will ever meet. Gil Hibben is the current President of the Knife Makers Guild and has done as much as anyone (in my opinion) to promote and contribute to the knife industry.

I can see why he might have named that one for Elmer Keith.
.44 magnum blade

and a relieved trigger guard

Thanks guys for the info! I'll have to look Gil up in Eugene this year.
Jimmy Lile made the knives for the first Rambo movie, they are quite pricy as well. I've always liked his Death Wind pattern.

You are right. This is the first one I have thought, "I'd carry that!"
It is the right size, light in the pocket and beautiful. Hard to beat.
