Gil Hibben Tanto with Micarta Handle and Sheath: Koi Emblem

Shirasaya is a traditional Japanese mounting style where the handle and scabbard are made of the same material to create a seamless, minimalist look.

Period: The “Louisville, KY” stamp dates this piece roughly between 1979 and 1991.

Blade: It features a traditional Tanto profile with a high-mirror polish and custom “file work” (the decorative notches) along the spine of the tang.
