April Showers Bring May Gerbers.
on: May 02, 2015, 10:18:19 PM
There was a vote to show Gerbers this month. Since no-one seems inclined to start it off, I guess I will.

Here's a trio of assorted Gerbers:

- Mk 1 Boot Knife
- Multiblade pocket knife with cocobolo handles (basically a Huntsman)
- Legend Multi-plier

I love the Mk 1 boot knives.  I have owned two of them, sold or traded both of them, and regret having done so.

One of these days I'll get another.  Until then I suppose I can just drool over yours!

Got my Gerber Multiplier on me to kick off the month of May. :)

I don't think I've seen the mock-huntsman before.  Very nice. :tu:

The MP425 was at the warehouse with me yesterday and today. :tu:  I'll be switching between it and the 600 like I usually do......

Oh I missed this.  I was wondering if it was decided what this month would be.  I'll try to remember to carry my Diesel or MP400 then.

I went with the Diesel today.  Where is everyone?  I thought Gerber was the popular vote, but I don't see many participating ok:

The MP600ST is getting some carry time before it is changed up a little bit.

A casualty already Zman?  Will you be sending it in?  Is Gerber good with their warranty service?

It was abuse for sure. I'll just repair or replace it myself. Quicker and cheaper that way.

In my experience Gerber's warranty service is excellent!

I just made some changes to the MP600ST.
It lost the needle nose pliers, sight tool and blade.
It got the blunt nose pliers, fishing file, awl and scissors.

Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that yourself.  It probably would take weeks given your location if you sent it in.

If it makes you feel any better I've done exactly the same thing myself. :-\  Definitely a case of abuse from me as well. :-[

I don't feel bad at all because it still got the job done. It was the perfect size. If I had a different MT the job would have taken a lot longer.

I grabbed my MP400 for today.  I prefer the Diesel as it's more loaded, but the MP400 has the basics covered and is easier to carry.
