[United Cutlery] Gil Hibben Black Shadow, Commando Knife

Meet the Gil Hibben Black Shadow—a dagger that stalks the dark like it owns it. Its 7.5-inch double-edged blade, forged from 420 stainless steel, sports a blackened finish that swallows light and cuts with a hush—deep, mean, and ready to rumble. The black shadow makes for a beauitful display knife; it’s a shadow with teeth, built to slip through the night and leave a mark.

The handle’s all business—black wire coiled tight around it, like a grip forged from midnight itself, locking your hand in place with no apologies. Flanked by a blackened stainless guard and pommel, it’s got that “don’t mess with me” vibe down pat. Stretching 12.25 inches tip to tip, it’s got reach that whispers danger but stays light enough to move with you, quick and quiet.

It comes wrapped in a black leather sheath, rough-edged and stitched with purpose, a woven stamp giving it that gritty, lived-in feel—clip included to keep it tethered. This is Gil Hibben’s dark twist, cooked up in ’90 for United Cutlery’s Fantasy Series, his signature scratched into the steel like a dare. Born from the mind of a blade legend with Muela’s Spanish fire in its veins, it’s pure, unfiltered attitude.

For the soul who craves a piece of the night—whether to hoard in a case or clutch in the wild—the Gil Hibben Black Shadow is your call. Grab it fast—let it lurk, let it strike, let it be yours.
