    Here's the only Gerber knife I own...a Paraframe II...that I bought on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX...down a few blocks from the Alamo...when I was down there on TDY for the DoD...

    It's sharp, lightweight, easy to keep clean and spartan in design.

    I have several Gerber knives but the one I use the most is the River Shorty. I take it with me when I go metal detecting and Indian artifact hunting along the river sandbars and freshly plowed fields.

    I have 2 Gerber changeable blade hunting knives. One is from the first year of production, 1983. Unlike a Buck sheath knife I have (gets dull 1/2 way through gutting a deer), the Gerbers can handle 3 deer before needing to be touched up. They are so sharp, I once cut myself deeply cleaning a blade with a plastic scrub pad in my camper's sink. I saw red water but the cut was so clean it didn't hurt until detergent got into it.

    I spent considerable time searching the internet for a Gerber I bought for field dressing whitetails. It's apparently some flavor of Gator but I couldn't find one just like it. Anyway, after field dressing a number of deer I decided the blade is a little too short and wide for that purpose. It's a nice knife, though, with a good grip and strong, corrosion resistant blade.
    It's about 8 1/8" overall with a 3 1/2" blade.

    edit: I guess I didn't look hard enough. I looked for Gerber 600 earlier but didn't find one. Now they're popping up all over the place.:doh: Oh, and I guess its real name is Gerber Magnum LST.

    OK, another post. I had a Gerber LST in my pocket for about thirty years before I lost it. I went right out and bought another. It's light enough to disappear in a pocket but strong enough to do some real work. I originally bought it for backpacking because of its light weight and corrosion resistance but it quickly became my every day carry knife.

    One of my too many hobbies is collecting little multi-tools. One of them is the Gerber Curve. I've never used it for anything but it feels fairly durable and has the standard minimum tools.
