I bought a nice batch of Gerber knives!

You can see the original listing here. You should be able to see that I bought it for a very nice low price. This is what happens when nobody knows the model names or numbers of the knives involved. I wasn't sure what models I was buying. I still don't know what one of them is.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/203456629865?nma=true&si=CBwLNQvt1yGOgtwbOOwEnM%252FX8ng%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557



The top one is a  Chameleon, but I don't know which variant (I, II, or III?) I don't think it's a II based on pictures I've seen. I don't know if it much matters. What's the difference between the different variations?

The second one I still have not identified. It reminds me of the Gator but the grip is thinner and it is a liner lock. It has the same rubbery chew toy grip though. Other than saying GERBER (no logo), it has no other markings whatsoever (model, steel, or country of origin, nothing). I am still trying to figure it out.

The third one is an Icon. I already have one like it. They are a good knife and well worth what I paid for the whole batch.

The fourth one is an Evo, but I'm not sure if there are different designations for variations of that model. It reminds me of a CRKT M16 in appearance.

Any help identifying the 2nd knife would be appreciated. Also insight on the variations of the Chameleon and the Evo.

Thanks.  :D

The second is the Profile. :salute:
The fourth is the Evo Jr Serrated (even though it is half-serrated).
I saw you post these in the other thread and spend time tracking down the names, before I saw this post here. :facepalm:

Sorry--nobody seemed to be watching the Gerber channel, so I cross-posted.  :ahhh

Thanks for your help.

Well now here is a picture of an actual Profile.... but while mine has similar features, you can see the handle pattern and blade shape are not quite the same. Similar, though.

Ah! must be unusual, can't find any others around the net. None named on eBay.

Well, just this one, and it's a different blade. Same handle, though.

That's what happens when you release a knife and don't put the model name on it.  :pok:
Nice assortment of Gerbers, Jim! It was fun tracking down the names. :cheers:

Yes I got them for a good price, and they're all in good to excellent shape.
Probably the one with the most dings is the Evo Jr. and it is still very respectable in finish and edge. It's also the least valuable one.

Yeah.  :facepalm:

That's how I feel. If I ever designed something, I would definitely have the model name or number on it so it could be easily traced and tracked.

I like Gerber products, but man, tracking them down can be challenging.

It doesn't help that they've released a million different knife models. :ahhh

I keep looking for a model guide book, but alas, nobody seems to have written one.
