I have always loved Gerber blades. Here's my fav;

Seems like they made an awsome survival type knife years ago. Anyone have or seen one lately?

Have a Spectre. Don't have any pics yet. Great knife, carry it everyday. 8dDUCE.

I've had three EZ-Out knives (pre-ATS-34). I bought them because I got tired of snapping the plastic pocket clips on Spyderco knives. Then I snapped the metal pocket clip on my first EZ-Out. I still have the other two, as they were great knives for the price.

I used to love the Gerber BMF (Big Military Fighter) it was discontinued somet time in the early 90's. :(

azreloader I haven't seen one since mine disapeared :mad: LOVED that knife. Grip is perfect and even wet it isn't slippery.

I need to find the black blade one to replace it :(

Heres mine, most battle proven piece of equipment I own, from the toilet known as JRTC in Ft Polk, LA; to the wonderful land of non-bathing europeans in Bosnia-Herzegovina; to the bigger and hotter toilet/sandbox of Iraq, this tool has ventured everywhere and done just about everything besides wipe my ass for me. Its also the only thing made by Gerber than I can afford.

That's a nice lookin piece of steel!:up:

[Optimus Prime]

You ought to see it's big brother the BMF! :eek:

I always thought the grips were too fat on those knives. I like the blade shape, but I prefer a smaller grip.

[American Rage]

As a kid, I always wanted a MkI or MkII. But about the time I could afford one, I fell in love with Bowie type blades. Now I wish I would have bought one b/c now I don't believe Gerber makes either the MkI or MkII anymore.

is it just me or is the leatherman wave the all time best multi tool out there? i got one a couple years ago and have absolutely fallen in love with it. every man should own one;) idk but i've never been fond of the gerber multi tools, at least not their newer models...

AK103K,

Those look interesting. What are the grips made of?

[AK103K]

The MKII has its original finish on the grip. The MKI and Guardian both were used hard and the original finishes wore off long ago. I blasted the original finishes off and took a diesel injector to the grips and sort of stippled them and then used Brownell's Aluma Hyde II on them. I also parkerized the MKI's blade. So far, the Aluma Hyde is holding up well, although the knives dont get the use they once did.

My Tac II

[5KNIVES]

I just own a couple of International AR 3.0, that I'm going to have to give away, Arthiritis and the small stud make them 2-handed openers for me. Other than that I liked them a lot.

A Magnum LST is always in my hunting fanny pack, ever since my brother[ion-law gave it to me several Christmases ago. Good knife. Real good friend has a Gator drop point folder in ATS-34 that is the only knife he ever carries. He swears by it!

Always wanted a B.M.F. but by the time I got serious, they were gone.

Still prefer the Wave for a multitool though, with supertooll and Victorinix tied for second. SOG Para-tool would be right up there if it didn't fold over every time I really needed it.

Gerber makes real good stuff, IMO.

i keep thinking i need to take a hard look at the Applegate models, the Colonel used to be real down on folders. I figure if he let them put his name on one, it must be special.

I paid $40.00 for mine-full size brand new. I love it. I plan on getting one of the smaller ones from Smoky Mountain.

These are my two GERBER old schooler's.
BMF and PARABELLUM
I picked the BMF up about 12 years ago at a flea market for $60. Someone had taken a bad sharpening job to the blade. You can only see a hint of the damage in the pics. It was a shame it wasnt NIB. I bought the PARABELLUM while I was still in high school.
I also own Gerber camp hatchet, Chameleon, & gator fixed guthook hunter. Also owned Gerber multi tool that was later stolen :(
