Is there a sticky somewhere of discontinued Gerber tools that I am not seeing?  Thanks.

Thanks for the link.  I have one like #1, the First Production Run.  But it does not say it on the tool, it has the familiar satin finish instead of polished like #1.  I've had it for years, I believe I bought it shortly after buying a Leatherman PST with the knurled nuts.

Hey All! Just found a Gerber tool that I for got I had. Nothing in these pics look just like what I have. Mine just says Gerber U.S.A. U.S. PATENT 5142721
                                     5212844
                                     PAT PEND
That is all it has. No big deal but just kind of wondering what model and year it might be.
Thanks for any help.
Jack

I think we'd need a pic to help you out.  But there are some tools not listed that I am familiar with like the Diesel.

That one there is the 5th generation of the original Multi-Plier sir. :salute: It has a bigger stronger set of blunt plier jaws than the earlier versions. And it was the last generation before Gerber brought out the Multi-Lock (600-series) with locking blades. :)
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools
