File Branding
on: February 12, 2010, 04:32:39 PM
I have an old Gerber with the all-metal push button releases, the non-locking tools.  And I was looking it over last night and spotted a brand stamp on the file-blade near the hinge.  It said "Simonds", I recognized the name from some hand files I have in my shop.  Just thought you guys would find this tid-bit interesting.

I recognized the name-Simonds, and thought it was interesting that Gerber would have actually subcontracted the file blades out, and allowed the brand name to stay.  Maybe it was a selling point.
