BMF/LMF history

In 1939 Joseph Gerber (advertising agency owner) had custom knife maker David Murphy make 24 sets of carving knife for some of his select customers. Catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch saw them and was so impressed with the quality of the knives they wanted to sell them. Thus was born Gerber Legendary Blades.

BMF/LMF history

Post by dogfoot »

These are not pocket knives, but I was wondering what happened to the forum that had the research this guy was doing on these Gerber knives. I had it all saved on my computer, but the forum and all the data disappeared. There were pictures of all the different blade styles and years of manufacturing. I’m trying to remember, but I’m thinking he was from the South West area of the USA. Does anyone have a clue what I’m talking about?

thanks - Dog

I forgot to add, I know the guy sadly passed away. I was hoping that all his research was not lost with his passing. There was enough data to have started a book on the BMF & LMF’s.
