A pair of 200 (size) Gerber Sakai lock backs. The top one is in Abalone. Overall, one of the most desired versions, as no two are alike. The bottom is the Eagle scrimshaw ( I call it the sad eagle), some scrimshaw versions included a bass, deer, ducks and more versions of eagles. These were...

I can't get it to translate well, but yes I think you're right. It's a very common 'chrysanthemum' series from 1899 through 1907 (some sources say thru 1913.)

Another pair of more sought after handle materials. Gerber Silver Knight (250 size) in black lip pearl (top) and mother of pearl (bottom). For better or worse, Gerber really pushed the market for promotional, company logo, recognition and special orders on their knives back in the day. If it...

Another pair of Silver Knights, made in Japan. The 'Tropical Hardwood' seems to be the most common along with the plain, brushed steel shown earlier. The larger knife is in checkered green, ABS plastic with the Gerber legendary blades emblem. These are not so common. The first year...

This one got me curious. It's definitely a Fiskars. From what I've been able to find, it was made in the seventies, likely. I had an opportunity to spend more money than I wanted to on a 'Tapio Wirkkala' Puukko model a while back and seriously regret not going for it. Made by Fiskars and...

Is there an etch on the blade?

Not a bad day today. Eight buzzbombs and a rooster before noon. Picked up another rooster after lunch.

A pair of Gerber 'Sillver Knight' knives made in Japan. There is a lot of interesting history on these knives. Too much for me to go into right now, but suffice to say, they are like little gems. Even these plain, entry level knives. Made from 77 through 85, there were many variations and...

I spent way too much of my childhood there. My dad was a prolific collector of mostly Winchester shotguns and rifles.

Three Gerber "Paul" knives. These were first generation Paul knives that were made from 77 through 86. This was a collaboration with Paul Pohlmann, who invented and patented the Axial Locking Mechanism in 76. You simply squeeze the button on the pivot and rotate the knife to the open position...

A pair of Gerber Touché belt buckle knives. The duck scrimshaw was my first Gerber knife ever. A Christmas present in 1981. I was just 11. HA! These were designed by Blackie Colins and there are at least 51 different catalog versions, including a slimline series, brass vs. the Rynite...

Love it. Al Mar design. Great knife. Part of the Presentation Series.

Agreed.

Beautiful!

In the same category of 'River' knives that @Russell posted earlier. Mine is a Gerber Clip-Lock Survival Single Edge. The box and brochure help date this one to around 85 - 88, which would have been early for this knife. These were Blackie Colins designs. Blackie did a whole host of knives...

This is (for now), the last of my Gerber Armorhide series knives. It is an Al Mar designed model A325. Yet another 'bird and trout' (as described in the catalogs). If you're interested in the details, I'll put my longer than usually pretty long write up below. Why? Because i'm a knife nerd...

In addition to being an all around great guy, my late father in-law received this carving set in 1975. He was an executive for PNWB, later ATT. After he passed, my mother in-law gave me this carving set. It turned out that they had several sets of Gerber kitchen knives that had never been...

The aptly named Pixie from Gerber. Sporting the Armorhide coating and dark leather sheath. Surprisingly, this little knife is one of the longest lasting models of 'hunting' knives in the Gerber line up. It was also a crossover from their kitchen knives and did double duty as a paring knife...

Gerber Flayer - Armorhide, probably 70s vintage. This model was in the line up for a brief period of time when you compare it to other models. Made in chrome from 56 to 64, "Cats Tongue" (prior to Armorhide coating) from 65 - 67 and then Armorhide from 68 - 76. I recall seeing or reading...

Oh Golly, KZOK and KISW. 🤘 That takes me back a long time ago........
