Wow. 2021 flew by. Or 2020 never really ended. I am not completely sure.

Now we find ourselves on the cusp of 2022, and we hope that it sees the world getting back on an even keel. If nothing else, KNIFE Magazine readers can kick back and escape for a while, and our January 2022 is just your ticket to a couple of hours of distraction.

Del Corsi’s cover article shines a light on the career of the maker of some of the most iconic knives in modern history, the great Gil Hibben.

And there is so much more…

And all of our usual columns from J. Bruce Voyles, Bernard Levine, AKTI, Knife Rights, ABS, and this month’s Knife News where we talk about a couple of new TOPS Releases, SOG’s 2022 lineup, and we say goodbye to the legendary Darrel Ralph.

  1. Sad to hear about Darrel Ralph. The Hibben piece constantly left me in awe, 2022 marks Gil’s 65th year making knives. Talking to Paul Ehlers was fascinating, Curt Kadel from United Cutlery had a wealth of history as well. The challenge was narrowing down what to mention and what to leave out, could have written a book! My part was easy in comparison to what Mark, Clay and the layout team had to sort through. No doubt I speak for all concerned about what an honor it was to be part of this story. Such a mind boggling career, Gil still takes orders at age 86!
