C300B green resin handle, high speed steel blade
that is mint in the box. The knife is 7-1/2"
overall. The leather sheath and black box are original. The leather sheath
that comes with this knife is the first design. They have a unique shape
that holds the knife in the sheath for normal carry but if you need more
protection there is still a sap strap to completely lock the knife in.
These are hard to
find as they where only made about one year!
The forest green resin handles were made 1975 to 1976
The following in bold is from the Gerber paper work that
came with the knives back when they came out:
Custom designed to meet the rugged demands of today's
outdoorsman, these superb cutting tools blend ultramodern, functional
design, and skilled Gerber craftsmanship and manufacturing techniques.
Extra-strong blades are precision ground to a razor sharp, double-wedge
shape and boast a super-hardness of Rockwell C60-62. Special industrial
hard-chrome plating keeps these high speed tool steel blades bright and stainless through the demanding use for which this series
was designed.
Natural forest green handles are integrally molded to
notched blade tangs to form a continuous, virtually indestructible unit.
Handles feature space-age plastic resin construction which prove not only rigid
toughness but a warm, comfortable surface for the hand. Choose from a
variety of blade designs customized for your cutting chores.
There were six blade designs to
choose from with this green handle. According to
Levine's Guide to Knives and Their Values 4th Edition Al
Mar designed these while he was at Gerber and the green nylon handles were made 1975 to
1976. This is hard to find mint in the box.
