Double Shadow | Gil Hibben

Double Shadow | Gil Hibben – A unique fantasy knife for collectors

The Double Shadow is a striking fantasy knife designed by the renowned knifemaker Gil Hibben. This 29 cm long knife combines a futuristic design with 420 stainless steel and a silver-coloured wire wrap. Perfect for collectors who appreciate unique craftsmanship and a genuine leather sheath for safe storage.

Experience from the Shogun team

We have thoroughly examined this knife in our showroom. It immediately stands out due to the mirror-polished blade and Gil Hibben’s personal mark. The balance feels good, although the weight of 341 grams is noticeable when holding it for extended periods.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The razor-sharp 14 cm blade is made of 420 stainless steel – a reliable steel type that is easy to maintain. This steel retains its sharpness reasonably well and is highly corrosion-resistant. More than sufficient for decorative use, although it is not intended for heavy cutting work in wood or rope.

Grip and ease of use

The silver-coloured wire wrap provides a firm grip, although it can feel a bit slippery with wet hands. The knife sits comfortably in the hand thanks to the well-considered balance. The unique shape does require some getting used to when handling.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This fantasy knife is ideal for collectors of special knives and fans of Gil Hibben’s work. Also suitable for cosplay or display purposes. Less suitable for practical outdoor use or as an EDC due to its striking design and size.

Maintenance and durability

The 420 steel is very low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant. Regularly wiping down and lightly oiling will keep the mirror-polished blade looking good. The leather sheath should occasionally be treated with leather grease to maintain its suppleness. The blade finish will remain beautiful for years with proper care.
