All About Pocket Knives

Gerber is owned by Fiskars that is true but the USA plant that still makes many models. The LST, Gator, military models to name a few, are still and always have been made in the USA and are marked Gerber not Fiskars, just as a Chevrolet says Chevrolet not General Motors.

Isn’t there round bolstered large stockman in the vault or is it discontinued? A ‘92 pattern maybe! I would also like to see the large trapper main blade put on the 75 pattern Large Stockman.

Why can't you fill the space with epoxy? I seen carpenters fill spaces bigger than a fist in a slab of wood to make a coffee Table

I just ordered a LNIB 110 LT off Ebay, should have it in a day or two.Why,because I don't have one and they use a real 110 blade unlike the new 110/112 light weight models.

Can't help you but don't you think you might have asked these questions before you took the knife apart?

I remember reading the reason most of the 30X series was recently discontinued was that the line was in the process of a retool. So far, I haven't' seen anything yet. Maybe bone will be more common then. That’s very interesting news. Maybe they’re fixing the lack of engagement with the springs on t...

I've circled back around and am now carrying a Pioneer X and a Buck 112.

Just FYI USPS delivers Express Mail 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The LST is my favorite Gerber. I have 7-8 including 2 of the OHO LST II’s. Why the LST II is a mystery to me

Just me but I would still send it for a Spa treatment and a new blade. It deserves it!

Great series very interesting history they have.

I carry a 112 almost daily in a homemade open top sheath I made and I always wear a belt. Helps keep m pants up too!

I don’t really have a favorite edc but I always carry a SAK (Farmer, Pioneer, Tourist, or Climber) then a Case Stockman of some sort.

The 6318’s I have and I have 6 all measure 3 5/8 closed.

I served in the Army from ‘72 to ‘78 and the only issued knife of any kind was issued to Signal Corp types and that was the TL29. Bayonets were kept in a footlocker in the Arms room.

I have always found the fit and finish on Old Timers and Uncle Henry’s to be generally superior to Case. The only issue I have with then is the Swindon(sp) key bolster. I have had one Craftsman knife come loose.

I’m in the same boat as the OP. I’m 67 and a recent Stomach Cancer survivor. I lost a lot of weight duringChemo then Radiation. So while recovering and trying to put some weight on and doing light excercise I spend a lot of time paracording and doing some leather working. I also keep a few knives (a...

My newest Buck is a 112 Slim. Why ? It was on sale and I couldn’t resist.

I have three 301’s but the one I use and carry the most is my early 70’s model (non- stainless springs & double brass liners on one side). It’s a much better slicer than newer models due to the full flat grind also. Why did they change to the current Sabre grind?
