Vintage Gil Hibben Pro Folder Knife UC 945 – Precision from a Legendary Era

A Rare Folding Blade with Serious Pedigree
The Vintage Gil Hibben Pro Folder Knife UC 945 isn’t just a collector’s piece — it’s a piece of blade history. Produced during the peak of Gil Hibben’s design legacy, this folding knife comes from the golden age of craftsmanship, spanning the 1980s and 1990s. It's marked clearly with “Gil Hibben Pro-Folder UC 945 Stainless Taiwan,” and its condition tells the story: unused, carefully preserved, and ready to make an impression.

What sets this model apart? First, the precision. Unlike many modern folders, this blade locks tight, deploys clean, and balances effortlessly in hand. You can feel the purpose in the design — Hibben didn’t make showpieces for the shelf; he made tools meant to be carried. The vintage Gil Hibben Pro Folder Knife UC 945 lives up to that philosophy.

Crafted to Last, Built to Perform
This knife isn’t flashy, and that’s the point. The design is practical, the build solid. It holds its own against more modern folders, yet it retains that old-school charm Hibben fans seek out. Whether you're buying for your collection or as a daily carry with heritage, this piece delivers.

The stainless steel blade stays sharp, resists corrosion, and folds with authority. It’s compact without compromising on cutting power — a true pro folder from one of the best.

Why This Knife Still Matters Today
Collectors know the name Gil Hibben. This model proves why that name still holds weight. It’s one of those rare pieces that walks the line between functional and collectible. You don’t find these in the wild often, especially in this kind of condition.
