"Internet Exclusive Bronze editions" Knives |
Bronze 70th birthday highlander |
Bronze Raptor Knife |
Bronze Dragon Lord Knife |
Bronze Hornet Dagger |
Bronze Odyssey Bowie Knife |
Each of these runs had 15 knives, 14 serial numbered and 1 prototype, they came with a signed and serial numbered display stand and all but the Highlander came with COAs |
|
Display Stands: |
The first display stands for gold versions was for the raven in 1993 |
The first stand for a non gold knife was for the warbird in 1995 |
They have made stands for both regular and gold editions ever since althought they have all been discontinued. |
|
The Edge Company made a select run of Hibben knives all marked The Edge Company. Knives that I have seen with this have been a Dragon lord and it is rumored that they had some silver shadows. |
I purchased a regular edition Raven Bowie and in the box was a card from The Edge Company Onyx Club, it says “Special Onyx Customer Series Gil Hibben Raven Dagger & Raven Stiletto Set Special Autograph Edition 1993” The knife had no special markings and even Gil and Linda do not know what a Raven stiletto would be. |
