Lisa, that Multiplier of yours has me looking now too  :rofl:   That's in incredible condition and the box looks brand new 😍.  Long ago, I used to sell Gerber Gear in the days of the Mark I and II, and the first Multipliers.  Those were the equivalent of the Spyderco's and the Benchmade in those days.  If only I had a time machine  :rofl:

I used to have a Mark I, a Mark II, a Command I, Command II. and an original Bob Loveless Gerber Guardian. Those were cool knives. I also had one of the early Multipliers too. :)

I should have kept ll of them.

If you find that time machine I'm in too! :cheers:

My contender for the month, a Black Oxide carbide cutter version that I picked up earlier this year.  I assembled a kit around a Center Drive sheath I have.  I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of a Gerber Collection  :D

That was very generous of you Lisa. I have been humbled by the kindness of this community so many times and yet I can still be surprised.  There's no doubt in my mind that MTO is where the finest people on the interwebs congregate. :cheers:

Day 1



Good Morning, Today I and for the foreseeable week or so I will be carrying my bladeless MP600 that I swapped the pliers for the Blunt Nose version. Like Barry the sheath is from a Center Drive as well as the bit kit. The bit driver is an old Apex version I have had for twenty years or so. The bit extension is from Milwaukee.

I've been wanting to pick up a blunt nose.  I can think of a number of good uses for them and I think it would be easier to find a sheath.  Are they shorter when they're closed?

Barry, they are 1/4” shorter when retracted into the handles. One of the benefits is that if you are using a nylon sheath, the blunt nose is less likely to tear the bottom out over time.

 :iagree: and thanks JonesE!  I'd like to pick up one for work, but the needle nose version is a bit too long for my leather Super Tool sheath :facepalm:  That might just do the trick.  Thanks for the pic!

Day 1: I picked up this trick reading the reviews on Gerber.  I used the "notch" on the lanyard ( I have no idea what else to call it :rofl:) as an awl. 

I was kind of surprised that a lot of the military reviews didn't know what to do with the lanyard.  I remember having to lash down everything so you wouldn't lose it.
