Yes it does! Or, in other words, it doesn't get better than that. What a beauty. I would ask top dollar for that one.

Your best exposure is eBay. If you have an account, I can offer some guidance on how to list. I would avoid FB marketplace and Craigslist, but I wouldn't rule it out altogether. Collector forums would also be ideal, but usually they require membership and participation, etc. So, not easy...

Wrapping up my "400" size LST's (for now). The top knife is a serialized limited edition commemorating Gerber's 75th year, which I believe puts this knife to 2014. The digicam, slab sided knife below is obviously from 2010, but I've only seen these with the Shot Show logo, which may imply that...

Gerber 400s - We're well within the 90s here, which is when most of the interesting (IMHO) LST's start to fade away. There are exceptions of course. The Realtree camo knife with the black blade was Gerber's second attempt at a camo handle. The camo didn't wear well, which may explain why...

I have a new river. Can't decide whether to name it the little Yak, or the north fork. The dogs love it.

Four more Gerber LST 400s. The top orange knife has the earlier polished blade. It was my dad's, and was probably made in the early part of 86. He lost it for a number of years, but then found it in his sleeping bag. :sneaky: The next orange knife has the later bead blasted blade. This...

By no means a big deal, but I thought I would share. I dropped my daughter off at school this morning and it was 66 degrees. Fortunately the wind finally died down. fifty mile an hour gusts were getting annoying, but I didn't lose any trees. However, I'm slowly losing acreage down here on the...

One of the joys and frustrations of being a diehard Gerber collector is that they throw a lot of curveballs at you. This lot of LL Bean LST's (400 size) and Ultralight LST's (300 size) is pretty rare. Not impossible, but when they show up, I can't help myself. These are all different. Not...

My bank on the lower Yak just crested. I normally need a 6 ft ladder to get down to the water. We are still a few days from our peak (Saturday), when we are just touching a major flood level. Still probably not like 2009 when two thirds of my property was under water. Reminiscing with my...

In 1985, Gerber switched from Dupont Rynite to Zytel. Zytel is is a glass filled nylon vs. the Polyester of the Rynite. Of the standard five different sizes of the LST over the years, this original size is known as the 400 model. The orange box is the earlier version, sometime around the...

I don't know much about modern Gerber's, but I like that blade. I like the fact that it's still USA made too. Keep us posted.

Cheap plastic gas station knives or one of the most revolutionary developments in modern knife making? I believe the latter, but I'm biased. These four knives represent the very earliest of the 'plastic' Gerber LST's. The top two knives made their debut in the 1982 catalog. They were sold...

Not my area of expertise, but I believe it’s a pretty big deal.

Gerber LST - First generation in Micarta. Top to bottom on first pic - LST Classic in white/Ivory Micarta c. 1981-1985, LST Classic in brown Micarta c. 1981-1982, FSI Maroon Micarta (Folding Sportsman), c. 1981-1982, FSI white/Ivory Micarta c. 1981 - 1982. Bottom pic - Comparison to their...

Part of the Escort series. These were sold along side the Silver Knight series, and were also made in Japan. Not really my area of interest, but complete with box is hard to resist. This is the Smoker's knife. They made a couple of money clip knives in this series as well.

I wondered. His custom work is amazing. I used to have this basic folder of his. If I recall correctly, the blade is not steel, but cast, dendritic cobalt or cobalt alloy 6. Possibly the same as stellite or talonite. Your knife is a gem.

Welcome aboard, but.........

That’s beautiful. Any chance that it’s David Boye, not Boyle?

Another 'International' series knife by Gerber, made in Japan. This 'Stallion' model is not very common, but was in catalogs in the mid 90s. The blade profile is similar to their more popular 'Gator' series. This knife was completely enshrouded in soft, grippy rubber. Even the lock back was...

The aptly named Vulcan - Not part of the Silver Knight series, but still part of the international series, made in Japan. Black checkered rubber scales. This one is the small. They were in the catalog for one year only in three sizes / 1989.
