Nice finds Scott! You always come across some sweet goodies.

I picked this one up over the weekend. Didn't have one with this blade arrangement, so added it to my Camillus family. A double line tang stamp Camillus TL29BX All Trade Knife. It comes with the locking screwdriver, Hawkbill blade, & simulated woodgrain delrin handles with a bail. Very little use, all blades are tight, great snap, and positive half stops. The bail was a little tarnished and the only part of the knife that needed any cleaning. Not bad for two Sawbucks.

Nice scores!

On another forum, those early Gerber tools have gained the name "Mr. Pinchy". And it isn't for nothing. They will give you a blood blister if you're not careful. Some later production examples were modified so that there was more room between the handles when the pliers were deployed. Yours appear to be some of those. I modified mine with a fine pliers head from a Winchester-branded fishing tool. While made in China, it used the same basic design as the early Gerber tools. Carolina Knife and Tool is owned by Gerber, and thus used their designs.

Always amazing what you come up with!

Delrin is in really good shape, blades have a lot of life left in them, and it's not too pretty to carry! Price was right too. Patina on the blades, but not rusty. I'll take all like this I can get. Cleaned it a bit, a little oil, and right into my pocket it went! IMG_2222 (2).JPGIMG_2226 (2).JPG

Great find TMK. It cleaned up well. Down in my area you don't really come across the 804 that often. Congrats man.
