How many do you own?
on: December 16, 2012, 12:23:17 AM
We Gerber fans seem to be a select few. :whistle:  But for those of us who have seem the light I ask; how many do you own?

Personally I have 8 multitools, 2 torches and 1 knife.

I still own more Leathermans and a whole host more Vics, plus a few Wengers. :-[

Well, I've seen the light, though not having any Gerber lights at the moment, I guess I'm not quite as "enlightened" as you, Gareth.  :P  In terms of Gerber tools though, I think I have a few around here somewhere.  Let's see....  Yep, eleven.  :D

EDIT: Make that twelve.  Forgot the Shard on my keys.  And three Gerber knives too.  :tu:

If you like your old Multiplier then I'm sure you'll like the MP400. :tu:

I think around 3  ??? , though I also have some knives that were made by SRM etc. but were also sold as Gerbers...

I use the Dime when traveling, after I put it back together, as it keep falling apart...

I'm not much of a Gerber guy, but the items I own, I like very much. If we count everything Gerber branded, then I have 3.  EAB, Infinity Ultra and a diamond plated Pocket Sharpener.

How did I forget the EAB?  :think:  I've been carrying it every day lately!  Add that to my tally.  I think I'm officially at the point where I own so many Gerbers I'm not sure what I have anymore!  :)

I've just got three Gerber multitools, all small, and a torch.  The tools are a Shortcut, a Vise in an interesting zombie florescent green colour (but good little tool though) and a Dime in black and red and shop fitted scratches.  I can't add anything new to the good stuff that's been said about the Dime but it is an excellent small tool - the best design for a small key chain tool that I've yet come across, so good in use that I don't want to get a Leatherman PS because I can't see that it would add anything I haven't already got with the Dime.  The Shortcut must be out of production by now, although I've found a few lurking about on Amazon for about a tenner, and while it's taken me long enough to appreciate mine properly, I'm starting to like it more and more for the Fiskars scissors and its robust build.

In addition to these I've got a Bear Ghrylls small survival tool that I bought because it was cheap and I was flush that month.  I think it's much more of a knife with a few tools than a multitool proper.  However, it's very well made without any fit or finish issues but the short phillips head screwdriver is a pig to open - when do you get it open, you get a proper phillips head driver not a flattened version, but you really don't relish opening it.  Alongside that, I've got a Gerber Tempo flashlight, which is excellent for its price and my current favourite 5mm single mode.

I used to have a bit of a down on Gerber and leant towards Leatherman tools because I have had quality issues with a couple of Gerber tools, including one that jammed open, but I'm starting to think very well of them now, partly because of positve experiences with my current Gerbers but also because of having considered some thoughtful posts about Gerber tools that I've read on the forum.

I've had the STL 2.5 in my ebay shopping cart quite a few times, never pulled the trigger though. I really like the looks of that little framelock. I'll pick it up one day. :D

It's a sweet little knife , nice and slim which is ideal for pocket carry , oho is a bit tricky because as your fingers curl round the handle your finger tips tend to press on the lock bar and make it harder to open. Easy to sharpen with good fit and finish

Right now I'm down to just 2x MTo Shards. In the past I had also owned a MP400 (compact sport), a MP600 (EOD version), and a MP700 (T3 edition). They were all of pretty high quality, but then aren't all Gerber MPs like that?

I know  I have said it a few times but - I swear, I am going to get an Octane, SOON.  ;) Also, the more I look at the Balance the more I want one. If only it had a pocket clip.
