Gerber Bolt Action Exchange - How to Fix

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.

Gerber Bolt Action Exchange - How to Fix

Post by anchorage67 »

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix this knife? I've bought it probably 30 years ago when I was in the USAF, and it's been stored away in a box for decades. At some point the "bolt" broke, but I no idea when. I'm curious if it's just a small threaded bolt? I see that the hole is "D" shaped, so not sure if the bolt needs to be the same.

I sent photos to Gerber recently, asking if they could send replacement parts, but they just sent me a much smaller folding knife (Ultralight LST) as a warranty replacement, which wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Any help would be appreciated.
