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 Looks like the best trade I done seen in a long while!

I am a sucker for a MI or MII

Great little knife.

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

I found it on Amazon.
Gerber Gear 31-003717 Wingtip Compact Folding Pocket Knife, 2.5 Inch Fine Edge Blade of 7Cr17Mov Stainless Steel. The handle comes in Grey or Green. Very light weight at 3.4 ozs. The following is a video link about the knife.

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!

I bought this Portland Gerber about 30 years ago for skinning. It's full belly is great for that task. Full tang, scales feel like textured metal of some sort. Skinned many whitetails and hogs with it.

I recently picked up this Marlin change blade knife which I suspect is a Gerber product. Very reminiscent of the Gator, is 4 and 7/8" OAL closed, is only etched with the Marlin logo. The nylon belt sheath is also only marked Marlin and has a compartment to store the extra blade. Blackie Collins did a lot of knife designing, much of it for Gerber. Are my assumptions correct?

Found what I knew was a Gerber tool at a local flea market for ten bucks.

I could see it like this in a display case at eye level.
Pulled it out of the sheath, and it turned out to be an older Multiplier.
Has the awl, which I think dates it to around 1995.

The high quality black leather sheath is factory. Seem to not see them that often.

A buddy at work just gifted me these 2. A Paraframe and a Ripstop 2.

Ulu and Gerber - a great combination. The jury is still out for me on Gerber's Downwind Series, but I like this ulu....a lot!

Well, it's not too hard to see why you like the Ulu, Lars, it's one wicked looking knife! Also, to AAPK!
