Description

Designed by legendary knifemaker Gil Hibben, the Shadow Dagger features a double-edged 420J2 stainless blade with a matte-black oxide coating for a menacing look. The stacked leather washer grip provides secure handling, and the cast metal guard and pommel are finished in antiqued bronze. A statement piece for fantasy blade collectors.

Shadow and Steel

Mount the Shadow Dagger on a dark oak display board and let the matte-black blade absorb the room's light—only the antiqued bronze guard and pommel catch the eye, framing the leather grip in a dramatic silhouette.

Gil Hibben's vision transforms a blade into a sculptural statement.

The Hibben Legacy

Gil Hibben has designed knives for film, military, and collectors for over five decades, earning the title of Master Bladesmith from the American Bladesmith Society.

The stacked leather washer grip is a hallmark of his designs—each washer is cut, dipped in resin, and compressed under tonnes of pressure to form a grip that's both warm to the touch and impervious to moisture.

Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
