New Gerber from Junk Shop

Post by Paladin »

I stopped off in one of my favorite 'junk' shop in a nearby town yesterday.
I picked up a nice little Gerber Lobster and it is a pattern I have never seen before. It is made in the style of their Folding Sportsman line with the wood insert handles and brass bolsters.
I have always liked the older Gerbers but this is one with which I am not familar.

Ray,
IIRC, that is from the 1980s.
There were a lot of that type of knife sold then.
I think they were referred to as "Gentleman's Pocket Jewelery."
They were a staple item of men's gift stores in that time frame.
