Is this a Gerber Gator? Unique blade shape.
I purchased this knife new in the early 90's.

It's not a GATOR.

Agree, from what Google images show.
All the pics I see of the folder GATOR has a clip blade.
All the pics of the fixed blade GATOR has a blade like the OP.
Take care and God bless,

LST Magnum--the full size model. I've got pretty much all the LST lineup, and they're great lightweight, but hard-use knives. I've tried others (including $100 Spydercos) and the ergonomics just don't compare.
All Gators have rubber handles if I'm not mistaken (which often don't age well...).

Re: Is this a Gerber Gator? Unique blade shape.
here's a blurb of the LST Magnum Cody mentioned in the post above. Might not be the same size but it's in the same family:

Re: Is this a Gerber Gator? Unique blade shape.
Thank you all for your time and replies. After posting, I researched it as much as I could and considered that it was probably from the LST Magnum family so your responses helped me confirm.
