My new-ish Gerber Bullrush. I’ve carried a Crucial for a couple of years and, for some reason, I needed it’s bigger brother. So far not too disappointed  :woohoo:

I looked at these too, but found the tool selection and placement weird  :think:

Carried the MP400 again  :cheers:

Gerber 605. 50/50 serrated. Made in USA. Dog chewed santoprene Handle end.

Looks like ancestor of Gator.They slapped some end caps on to discourage dogs?

Wonderfully light, simple mid lock back.

So easy to two hand, I love it has no stud or flipper! I love ELEGANT simplicity and this thing is elegantly SIMPLE. It’s like an American Laguiole. No, it’s way better than that. It’s like an American folding Mora. A thick blade Mora is all you need for a fixie 99% of the time. This 605 is all you need in a folder 99% of the time. That 1%? I decide not to use a knife. I find another solution.

No wonder Gerber got bored with quality folders.

This is a helluva disposable knife design at a price that is really not be beaten by $100 knives for cutting, lightness and controlled grip.

And best of all, it has no clip! Yay! I hate clips signaling “I AM CARRYING A KNIFE!”

I returned to knives when internet spin had declared that Gerber knives sucked, so I never considered them. Then I bought a dime and an EAB and liked both designs, despite fit and finish lacking.

If this 605 is a knife that sucks, then I want all my knives to suck like this one. Do I wish it had been dog proof? Yes. But I used it today and it cuts like crazy. I would take it fishing or diving tomorrow. I love this knife. And to think I have been paying soooo much for top brands with clips I remove and toss.

Found in thrift store for $4.

Going to order a 154cm gator for $47, when/if this poops out, if Gerber still makes them like this one.

Am I missing something? Is there a flaw in this 605? Will it close on my fingers, or something? Open in my pocket accidentally? With a knife this easy to open two-handed, I don’t need a OHO.

It fits my hand better than any other knife I ever held.

And it even has a half stop and is fully ambidexterous! I feel like Neo waking up in the pod and the tubes are popping off. This thing looks like hell and still cuts great.

I feel like I just woke up and realized most modern knives are hype.

"Blunty" is out today; helped in adapting a nail clipper for a client/patient. It cut the wood for the base, pilot-holed the holding screw, chamfered edges and clipper's rest, and assembled the final product.

The Bladed Bladeless helped me today in the installation of two smoke detectors, and a "no smoking " sign at the clinic. It punched and reamed the holes for the screws in the drywall (used the small driver for that; same width and taper as the expansion), and helped trim the tape for the sign (wouldn't stay put with the factory adhesive).

Been eyeing a Gerber Dime at Tractor Supply lately.  It's part of their Christmas selection this year. At $19.99, I thought I'd go by next week until I stopped by Home Depot.  They had a combo set with the Dime and a Ripstop 2, for $19.88.
Saved 11 cents, and got a beater knife  in the deal.

That picture is of a Multi-Plier FPR (The MPT was the PST competitor that Gerber made for a military contract).  This is the very first multitool that Gerber made.

There are a few around but they aren't super rare ( I think I have 11), and they turn up on evilbay etc every now and then.

Value is hard to say, it depends whether a couple of collectors wants one badly enough to start a bidding war.  A NIB one sold recently for U$264.00 and the same seller has another one listed as a B-I-N for U$286.00
