I was told this is fake is that true?
I thought this looked like a nice knife but was told it was fake by someone looking to buy my new collection of knives. Can I please get any information. Thank you.

It is a Gerber Silver Knights 2 blade.
It looks right as rain to me!

Not necessary for me to comment after Dale but i feel like it.
Absolutely your knife is perfectly fine. The 2 blade model is less common than the single blade & both are quite collectible.
I doubt anyone has faked a Silver Knight.

Here are some pictures of a two blade Silver Knight like yours.
I sold it in my store last year for $55.
You'll have to compare your knife to my pictures and see how it is condition wise compared to mine.
Condition is 95% of the equation, yours could be worth more or less than the one I sold.

The Silver Knight series was first called the Silver Eagle series, however Continental Trailways sued Gerber over the use of the Silver Eagle name and Gerber renamed the series Silver Knight.
Nice catch to have a Silver Eagle!

Yes, thank you, and it dates it as a first run knife. The name change happened quickly. Those Trailways dudes were not napping.

They were first imported in 1977 & 78.

I like both of those. I've never seen those until today. Very good looking knives both of them.

Re: I was told this is fake is that true?
Very nice Bert. There are still examples that show up on ebay with a variety of handles. Shop with patience and you can get a good deal which i would say is under $45 if unused. I got my first one with checkered green handles to carry in my shaving kit and that was in 1979 same year my son was born is how i can remember.
