Hibben Knives on Film and TV

While in Louisville, Hibben was contacted by Sylvester Stallone to make a modern version of a Bowie knife for the film Rambo III.  After the release of the movie, Hibben began a long-term partnership with United Cutlery of Taiwan who released factory versions of the “Rambo III Knife” and a subsequent annual factory “Art Knife” each based on one of Hibben’s custom designs every year afterward.

The popularity of Hibben’s mass-produced fantasy designs led to Hibben’s knives being used in other films such as Spawn, Mortal Kombat, The Perfect Weapon, Natural Born Killers, Under Siege, Babylon 5 and the Star Trek franchise.   Hibben’s “Jackal” knife appears on the poster for Star Trek Nemesis.  Hibben made another “Rambo” knife for Stallone’s Rambo and the Bowie knife and Arkansas toothpick used in the film, The Expendables.   Paramount Pictures has given Hibben the title Official Klingon Armorer for all the weapons he has made for the Franchise’s villains.
