Gerber was inundated with returns because a lot of customers thought their knives were flawed.Discussion in General Knife Discussion started by Catman Is God, Jun 27, 2019.
Greetings, I am new here, so if this is in the wrong place, please excuse the faux pas and kindley point me in the proper direction. I have been playing with knives for the biggest part of the last century and have been known to make a few as well. I have found myself a bit lacking in the reliable information department. There is a plethora of info on the Mark II knives, but not finding much on the MK I. ![]() I am especially interested in info about the Mark I knives with canted blades. Unlike the Gerber Mark II, accurate records were never kept on the Mark I, so it is not as easy to date as a Mark II. Gerber Mark 2 Serial Number Sequence ByAlso the Mark I and Mark II serial number sequence by year is not necessarily the same. Gerber switched to 440C sometime in 1981 and that is what was used until about 1997. For example, one variant had double serrations and another variant had a blackened blade (1984 only). ![]() The Mark I you describe (i.e. OD handle and brown sheath) is one of the earlier ones. Thanks for the info. I had called Gerber a few weeks back and they didnt have much info, especially on the sheaths, stitching canted blades. I just asked them about 3 of mine and was told one was made in 68-69, another in 71 and the other in 72. Yes, very confused. Sounds like they got Mark II crossed up with Mark I. Id like to see a picture of the Mark I with canted blade if you dont mind. I am new and hate to start out asking dumb questions, but how do I upload pix Thanks. If youre a paid member, you can just click on upload a file and browse. Gerber Mark 2 Mod Will TurnA mod will turn up with more accurate directions pretty soon. This pic is a bit off topic; I never remember its name (Guardian II; I think Guardian was a boot-knife). Gerber Mark 2 How To Upload ThemI had to get a couple of pix, then figure out how to upload them here. If it came that way from the factory, I have to wonder if it was intentional. ![]()
