I got this exact knife as a present last Xmas and used it this year as my hunting knife. It performed well (although I still prefer my Kershaw).

Question: I saw on Gil Hibben's website that there are quite a few fakes going around (out of China) shamelessly using his designs and name. The above site stipulates that it is a Gil Hibben design. So that means that he sells his designs to other knifemakers or that they make the knives under contract?

How do I know mine is for real and not a fake out of China? I see that a lot of websites offer these knives for sale.

Would you recommend Hibben's knifes at that price?

I tried to find out more about GH2021 SS, but got nowhere. Can someone please tell me more about the quality of this S/Steel.

Thank you
