Gerber Knife Sharperners

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.

Gerber made several variations of their "flat" sharpener over the years. I have examples that are unmarked, some with a small GERBER, some with larger lettering, some with the curve on the chisel end (as pictured in this thread), and with straight chisel. They made them in the pictured 4 and 8 inch versions. I have heard stories about a twelve inch model, but have never seen one. Perhaps the 12 incher is only legend.

The Shorty/steel combo appears to be in excellent condition. I'll have several Shorty, Flayer, Magnum, Big Hunter combos with either steel or Pixie at the Tulsa show this weekend.

I'll try to get a photo of them on the table in Tulsa, but the quality won't be great.
