All About Pocket Knives

Got these two from a feller that's "Legendary" himself.
To you sir I say spectacular!!!
Still haven't decided about the Shorty, I'm leaning towards keeping it like it is. It'll be the only Gerber I have that has factory finish.

This is the new #1. Sexy

These are by no means my 'latest' acquisition so I am in the correct thread.
I always carry a large and small knife, the small knife is used for fingernails while the larger is for everything that needs cut. The small oval knife holds a good edge but does not feel like a Gerber should. This is one of the early ATS34 factory folders, Gerber even stamped it on the blade.

Nice early EZ OUT. Don't come across the ATS34 very often. Keep er sharp, it'll take forever to get the edge back.

Didn't figure anybody but me would have an Amulet!
Haven't used mine, keep it with the other Gerber keychain Goodies.

It's good to see somebody EDC Gerber Goodies.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one.
The work rig, plus a LST in my pocket.

One of my favorite Gerber EDCs is a beat up FS II that I replaced the missing wooden handles with ivory. The ivory wasnt the greatest but it sure makes a nice EDC!


Here is a new one I just got recently, a DMF, manual not auto.
WHAT A BEAST!

Those E-Z Outs are real sleepers! There are inexpensive and they cut like nobody's business! I have one that is fully serrated that's one of the sharpest knives I own. I bought it but closed out at Lowe's I think for about $15. Crazy sharp!
I have another E-Z Out that is SV30 and it just won't quit cutting!

Crazy sharp knives for very little money!

Mr. Dale,
I meant no disrespect. You're the one that signed me into AAPK because I like Gerber Goodies!!! You know I'm diehard Gerber. New, old, it don't matter!!! I've got other knives, but only carry the best!!

Haven't got onea them pigstkcker (DMF) yet, but it's a good looking knife. Makes me tired just looking at it
Makes me want one, nice and beat up. I could have some serious fun.

I've been getting a few Walmart specials lately, Ozark Trails (Carolina Knife and Tool). I don't exactly know where it falls, it's got FAST opening and a button on the back(like a flipper but a totally separate piece) and it opens better than my 06 FAST.

I'm doing a little MUDification to it. I'll definitely post it sooner than later. Here's the one I did for my son. Almost with the $6 it cost. It sure is quick outta the hole.

Here's the second $6 Walmart knife.

The first one is at Ft.Bragg with my son. I did that one for me but... You can never have too much backup!!!! Plus he's my boy, he's gonna get it anyway one day.

Now wipe ur nose n eyes!!!!! And a few explicatives plus a few if you don't know what I mean!!!!

I wanted to see if I could do a little engine turning. Maybe not the best thing to engine turn but it's a $6 semiauto.

But it is F.A.S.T.

An Al Mar designed Magnum. Don't recall when I bought it .believe I was late 70's early 80's. Chunky knife..heavy for it's size...razor sharp out of the box and still is.
Well from reading some historical info it looks like This is from the late eighties not seventies...Senior moment...looks like that last brain cell is getting flaky...

C475, chrome plated M2 and Macassar ebony; Sportsman steel

These are my Gerber twins, although not identical twins. I am the father and Pacific Bell was the mother.
Received these as awards for attendance or service anniversary. Don't remember exactly. But got them in
1984-85.

to AAPK! That is a fine pair of Gerbers and even more meaningful with the backstory of your service to Bell and our country's infrastructure. I'd be proud to carry a knife like either one (and the fact that they're USA Gerbers is icing on the cake!

Don't know anything about it.

OK guys,
Here are a few! Got a few more if y'all want more.
Glad to see everyone's knives, just adds fuel to the fire!
Thanks!

OK one more,
This one broke my heart to sell, but it went to a good home.

Only own these two Gerber's.

Recently took possession of these 4

Thats a nice one. Designed by Al Mar, IIRC. Al designed a lot of knives for Gerber in that era.

bhuber - Nice group of Silver Knights.

Can't believe I forgot to post this one when this thread first began:A Gerber Paul Model 2PM 1st model that had the Allen screw in the frame to adjust the closing of the blade.The problem with it was it wasn't threaded but a press fit and if rotated would loosen up and fall out.The 2nd model eliminated it.I bought this one new(think it was about $60)and decided to try a little file work on the spine of the blade with somewhat less than success.Not a problem as I don't ever intend to sell it.

A Paul in any condition is a treasure. Nice knife.

I like your early production "Paul". In fact, I like them so much that my EDC is a first year Micarta like yours.

Thank you sir;I like it as well. Did you have any problem with the Allen screw loosening and falling out? I wound up putting a drop of CA adhesive on it.

I've never had any problem with mine. The knife is a bit rickety, rattles, but always works. I have heard of others having that problem, and I have a parts knife that is missing the screw. The old Gerber Paul was innovative, well made, and good looking, but they acquired a reputation for being too complicated and not too reliable. I have a drawer full of better EDC knives, but I love my old Gerbers, so it is fun to have one in my pocket.
