A couple of mid sized Spyderco FRN handled knives. The top is the ever common Delica with flat grind VG-10 blade and Boye indent lock. I opted for an aftermarket 'deep' pocket clip as I carry this knife off and on and prefer the less exposed look and feel. The lower knife is a 93 era Merlin...

In my very biased opinion, the only manufacturer to improve on the Gerber LST is Spyderco. While I have several Spyderco knives, I'm no expert, nor do I consider myself a Spyderco collector. With that said, they absolutely revolutionized the knife industry with their spydie hole thumb opener...

A bit of a photo dump. No surprise that I'm a big fan of the Gerber LST. As I've mentioned in earlier posts, they were the first to experiment with a one piece, injection molded fiberglass reinforced nylon handle. Soon after, everyone wanted to get on the band wagon. Some were well executed...

It's a model 321 "bird knife".

While nearly every major knife producer wanted to get in on Gerber's FRN handled LST success, few were so brazen to outright copy the LST. No surprise that you won't see too many of these out there.

I gave the Buck (top knife) to my dad back in the early 80's. I grew up duck hunting and as @Guy Gregory states, it works quite well. Personally, I have only done it on ducks and geese, and I don't hunt either anymore. I can't explain why, but I don't see a purpose for it on pheasant or...

I carry an older version of one of these when I’m in bear or cougar country. Fishing or hiking. I can get a Glock model 40 (6” 10mm) with red dot optic in it with ease. https://www.hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1/ProductID/183

Yes, I have posted most of these before, but not with my recent acquisition of the yellow on the far left. This is now a complete collection of LST 200 series Microlight knives. It's taken me a couple of decades to put together without selling a kidney. Think I'm joking? A green one sold...

As a permanent member of the Zombie Eradication Defense Unit, I can assure you that I am prepared for an outbreak.

Never say never. I thought my chances of picking up another one of these (without breaking the bank) was gone for good. There were at minimum, ten different 'Guardian' Series knives put out by Gerber and designed by Blackie Collins. Amongst those were three different sizes, designated as the...

Yeah, that would be my first choice.

I picked this up a while back ( bargain) to strap on to my NRS Chinook PFD. After looking at some reviews, the knife was rated very favorable among whitewater rafter's and paddle sports types, but it's the sheath that apparently lacks retention. One reviewer suggested that the reason why these...

Unicorns? I received my first Gerber Bolt Action approximately 43 years ago. Since then, I have acquired about 20 of them. I started to really pursue them back in the mid 90's, while they were still in production. The two below are the first and last I have ever seen of them. The...

Go big or go home. Something like that. The Gerber Parabellum is the largest of the Bolt Action series. Intended for Military, Law Enforcement and Wannabe's, the Parabellum was made from 1987 to 1994. It's big (5.25" closed and 9.5" opened) and it's fairly uncommon, making them desirable to...

Great little knife. I find that rubbing some mineral oil into the sawcut delrin scales helps to take that white fading away.

A trio of different Bolt Action knives. The two lower knives are the "Fisherman" model where the top knife is a "Rescue" model. The ever present black handled fisherman was made from 83 through 94. The orange fisherman was made from 86 to 88 only and the rescue from 87 to 88 only. These were...

I ran out of natural light, so not very good pics, but if you've been following, you've seen enough of these already.. :sneaky: A pair of "Exchange Blade" Bolt Action's" by Gerber. These were released in 86 and at least one of the three combos available stayed in the catalogs till 1997. Sold...

A couple of Gerber Bolt Action Skinner's - Both are new old stock and feature the gut hook blade. The black checkered handled knife in the blister pack was made from 1988 thru 97 at least. The Realtree Camo handle was only made from 1992 thru 93. They are less common, more desirable and one...

16's are cool!

I'm not going to lie. The title of this post gave me pause.
