Gerber Magnum

Post by Landersknives »

I received this Gerber in with a lot of parts i bought. It was all there but the handles were in disarray and the body was beat up. So I thought I am going to try and save this classic big hunk of metal. Well here are some pictures for posterity. Please let me have some feedback. The wood I used is blood wood. Thanks, Ed.

Thanks for all the comments. Yes they are built like tanks. Criticism and complements from your peers and friends always help guide you. Thank you guys for taking the time to drop a line and help me.
