For the August 2024 Giveaway, we have a very special donation of a Gerber Sportsman II kindly donated by gordonjohn (Gordon) who was also a donor in May of last year! Thank you, Gordon, for your kindness and benevolence!

Gerber introduced the Folding Sportsman I in 1976 and continued production until approximately 1995. According to AAPK legend Orvet (Dale), there is something iconic about the Folding Sportsman series of knives in that they are the knife that typically comes to mind when one thinks of a Gerber pocketknife. The design of the folding sportsman fits very well into any hand and here’s your chance to add one to your pocket.

This knife measures 4.50” closed and features wood handles and brass liners.

Good Luck!

I received the Gerber knife from Gordon today and it's even more beautiful in your hand. But imagine my surprise when I saw it came with a nylon sheath but wait, I picked it up and told Cheryl there is something it the sheath. Upon opening it I found another Gerber Lockback and a note that read "Greetings from Packer Country." Okay I will salute the "cheeseheads" of Packer Country just this once. These are two wonderful additions to my collection. Gordon you're a good man, thank you very much sir and God Bless...

Gordy knows how to play the game

well done Gordy and congratulations David

Not only a GAW, David, but a very cool GAW from Gordy, I'm certain plenty of thought regarding the "right" knife to send went through his mind prior to choosing, and the little extras confirm that.
Both are really nice knives, and the smaller model is one I haven't seen before now and I sure like it. Well done, fellas, your colors are shining brightly.

Thanks every one , just glad I could make someone smile

Well you really made David the recipient smile, Gordy, I haven't read a post from him that contained more than a dozen words so far to date, and now after receiving his knife he typed out an entire paragraph. You lit a fire under him, buddy.
