Show off your Gerber Knives

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.

These are my G. Sakai Gerber folders. All three are in mint condition. I finally found the smaller one after looking for two years. These were made for Gerber from 1977-1980. A very well made knife with a smooth and solid lock up.

The Micro LST is a sturdy little knife, and not to mention, about the cheapest American-made knife at the street price you can find (tied with the base model Case Mini Blackhorn).

WOW! And all NIB! I really like the Al Mar designed Custom series. I have all the stag and the ebony handles, but need a 300A and a 475 with green handles.
Thanks for posting the photo.

The Gerber "Big Hunter" was made with "Armorhide" handle from 1969 to 1976 when it was discontinued. I would venture to guess that the sharpening steel is contemporary.

Your brass framed folding hunter is an FS-II (Folding Sportsman}. I believe the number is Gerber's zip code. The FS series was made in three sizes with yours being the "medium" one.

I have a note from somewhere that says the green box was used from about 1970-1973.

Showing off my legacy Gerber Bolt Action. Bought one in 1986, lost it in 1988, just got the bug to get another last year. Hit upon this one on eBay last week for $50, it is almost like new. All that I’ve seen previously are Stainless blades, this one is steel, no marking as to what type. I do wish it was loose like my original so it could be flicked open with one hand. Anyone know how to remove the caps without ruining them?
