Expendables Bowie | Gil Hibben – Full-tang collector's knife with mirror-polished finish

This fixed blade knife features a 35.56cm Bowie-style blade crafted from 3Cr13 stainless steel. With a total length of 50.16cm and weight of 1.3kg, this knife was designed by Gil Hibben for the 2010 film "The Expendables". The blade showcases a distinctive mirror-polished finish with chrome accents throughout.

Construction and materials

The blade is constructed from 3Cr13 Chinese stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance suitable for display purposes. The plain-edge cutting edge maintains the classic Bowie profile. The substantial 1.3kg weight is distributed across the 50.16cm total length, with the blade accounting for 35.56cm. Chrome hardware complements the mirror finish.

Application and use

This knife serves primarily as a collector's display piece rather than a functional tool. Its association with "The Expendables" film and Gil Hibben's craftsmanship makes it suitable for film memorabilia collections, knife displays, or as a conversation piece. The included leather sheath facilitates safe storage and transport between display locations.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed-blade design, this knife requires no assembly or mechanical maintenance. The leather sheath is specifically fitted to accommodate the Bowie blade profile and dimensions. No additional mounting hardware or accessories are required for standard display purposes.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance, though occasional oiling prevents oxidation. The mirror-polished finish shows fingerprints readily and benefits from regular polishing with a soft cloth. Store in the provided sheath when not displayed to protect the finish from scratches.
