Anybody have any experience or opinions on the Gerber Mark I knife? Any guesses on the value of one of these?
http://thegerberknives.com/mark.html I'm not an expert but my buddy has the MK II and claims this is the knife.
I had a Mark II and wish I didn't sell it. Awesome, durable knife, it was just so tempting to stab something with it though...hahaha. Never seen a Mark I.
Just bought a Gerber Mark 2 from Grainger Industrial Supply. It was on closeout, and only cost $30.08!!! They only had 1 left at this price. I would have bought 10 if they were available. This was the cheapest I've seen one for sale. Score! Fixed Blade Knife, Drop Point, Black - Folding Knives - Cutting Tools - Hand Tools : Grainger Industrial Supply
I probably have a mark one, its the grey handle version with the SS blade, i'm selling back the mark 2 I got from the original seller, great knife would the perfect grip, sure beats a strider by price at least..
I had a Gerber Mark I probably late '70's vintage- until I lost it near Seattle Center. IRRC the whole thing, knife and scabbard fell off my belt or some dang thing. It was sharp as the dickens, not really a utility piece but would sure take care of some business in a pinch. I think if I had another one I'd wrap the hilt with bike handlebar tape or something sticky like that.
I ordered it at Swan Island, but the last one in the system was out of state. They are transfering it in to Swan Island, with some other goods I ordered. But I got the last one of the clearance. I'll will call it in a couple days when it comes in. Sorry to get your hopes up. If I knew about the clearance before I would have stocked up on them, and passed the word along sooner. I'm just glad I got the last one at that price. The part number was 2EVD5.
No prob, awesome score! I would have never have thought to look there for a Gerber.... Side note: Andy and Bax did have a whole mess of Gerber/Fiskars hatchets and axes when I was there Thursday....
I just got hold of a mark I it's the later one with the cordura sheath. A guy give it to me for sharpening some knives for him.
