Barteaux Commando

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 sure hope that worked, as it is the first photo I ever tried to post here.

Just in case it worked, I think I found the ultimate WW II Barteaux Commando. Picked it off a table at a Montana gun show last Saturday. The knife has an eight inch double edge blade! No sheath. Darn.

I know it's not a Gerber, but it's a close cousin, and it'll fit in great with my Gerbers and Murphys.
