I didn't show it, but the sheath cleaned up well too.  I hosed it off, then soaked it with the MP600 in Dawn + water.  Its probably in  9/10 condition.

This experiment is EXTREMELY impressive, sir!

My hats off to Gerber for making such a fine tool.

As much as I love Leatherman something tells me they would not fare so well.

Excellent!  :tu:  I'm glad to see it did just fine, with no impairment to utility. This might settle a question or two as to the material quality of Gerbers...............

Agreed. Gerber gets a lot of flak, but they do make a few good tools that can hold their own.

It ceaned off about as good as I expected (well, hoped) for.
Thanks for the test!

Now we should find someone in an area close t salt water to dig in an MP 600 in sandy, moist and salty ground.

I was about to offer a used MP 600 in good condition for the digged out corpse, but I guess that would be a pointless trade...

Cool experiment. I got this same tool about 10 years ago, and although lost has been replaced.
The only reason I don't buy gerber anymore is that they are not made in the usa and I've had several of the same 600's fail and break (plyers on first use). I kept sending them back for replacements but after a while lost my patients.
Love the experiment though. Makes me want another 600 (with that good ol usa stamp)!

Cool experiment. I got this same tool about 10 years ago, and although lost has been replaced.
The only reason I don't buy gerber anymore is that they are not made in the usa and I've had several of the same 600's fail and break (plyers on first use). I kept sending them back for replacements but after a while lost my patients.
Love the experiment though. Makes me want another 600 (with that good ol usa stamp)!

Ummm.... The MP400/600 series has always been made in the US........
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

So the MP600 came through just fine overall :tu:  I agree that you (or someone) should bury a Wave and even a Swisstool just to see what happens.  Too bad we didn't think of this a year ago and have all buried together so they would all be in the same spot for the same year and see how they all turn out.  Great idea either way though, and thanks for doing this Powernoodle :salute:

So can we say the MP600 is the AK47 of MT's  :think:

Great experiment, I'm also surprised how well it faired.

I'm really surprised how well it did. I guess the sheath protected it from getting gunked up worse.

Thanks for running the experiment for us.

One question: Did the year underground acceft the blades edges?

The blades are still sharp, and free of corrosion.

I was amazed at how the blades still looked like new.
