I purchased this knife new in the early 90's.
- This appears to be a unique blade shape for the Gators that I can find.

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.

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...).

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:

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.
