It's an older hibben design - 2000 or so, I think. From what I've heard, the guy is a fantastic custom knife-maker... it's a shame he attached his name to those low quality 420J2 stainless POSes. On the other hand, I would imagine he made buckets of cash from those things selling at every mall and flea market in the country, which should set him up nicely to make whatever knives he dang well pleases, so I can't fault the guy.
