Show Us Your Latest Gerber Knife

In 1939 Joseph Gerber (advertising agency owner) had custom knife maker David Murphy make 24 sets of carving knife for some of his select customers. Catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch saw them and was so impressed with the quality of the knives they wanted to sell them. Thus was born Gerber Legendary Blades.

I love Bowie knives and when somebody wanted my second copy of a Böker knife book...we traded...I think, not sure...lol...but I think I came out on top of that trade...the knife is very clean...its super stout and very well made...of course the handle is a bummer...some kind of rubberized plastic!? Would love to change it to stag or horn! Not sure if it hurts the value if there is any....regardless, I love that knife!!
I have had these in the past and I have one now and they are great Bowie knives ::tu:: ::tu:: Looks like the best trade I done seen in a long while! ::nod::

Me too, Dog, I love that shape for a dagger!
As long as it's non-serrated!

Here we go again with our tastes overlapping, David!
Please tell me more about this beautiful knife, especially where I can get a copy! Thx!
I'm gonna guess Russia has something to do with it, possibly Kizer too?
Beautiful knife, sir!

You got it M.M, :wink: If I have a water rescue knife or rope knife/sailor's knife, a serrated blade can be useful ::hmm:: outside of that I have moved away from wanting to have a Half-serrated knife anymore. ::hmm::

I KNEW I'd seen this knife before!!!
2 weeks ago I was eye-balling it on Amazon.ca and even put it on my "Save for Later" list!
When I saw your post yesterday I said to myself "why do I know this knife", but nothing else so I asked you.
Thank you very much, David, for taking the time to reply and transfer a video, it's much appreciated!
I'll post my new Gerber when I finally buy one, and that'll preserve our matching tastes streak! lol!
It's a really cool little knife, enjoy it to the max!
