yard sale score!
on: October 17, 2011, 12:02:42 PM
I lost my old Gerber a few years ago, I had it for a very long time and really missed it!
This weekend I ran across just about the same model at a yard sale.  Biggest difference is this "new" one
has locks on it and my old one didn't (I said it was old).  $10, even had the Gerber pouch.  I wore it to work today!  Don't know the model #, where do you find it?

I miss my Gerber, i had one of the originals, and then i bought the newer one when they came out with the locks, and i gave the old one to my cousin for when he went into the service, but that newer one i never did like the flat head screwdrivers kept breaking, the original never did, (ahhh) makes me wish i never gave it up..

SGP:  It's a blunt nose, black oxidized MP600; the MP400 has cutouts in the handles. :)

Spot on I'd say, though the exact tool load can vary a lot with MP600's.  Looks like a very nice one as well Seagull, especially for $10. :tu:
