It was a fleamarket find



I don't know much about Gerber's and I couldn't find it on their website.

Looks like a Suspention, but the handle pattern is a bit different.  :think:

It is one of the Suspension family I believe.  Basically Gerber released the Suspension with a various different scales and gave them different names.  I believe that each one was 'exclusive' to a different big chain store.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

That explains it.  My initial thought was a suspension but when it didn't have the correct scales I was lost.

Thanks for the insight.

Thanks Gareth. That one was going to bug me. I was already doing research trying to find out what the heck it was.  :D

OK, it's a Ripstop.  Not a Crux, nor a Method, not even an Evo, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a Resolve, but if you thought it was a Tread you were dead wrong. :doh:
