The original Gerber high speed steel blade with chrome
handle knives
are almost indestructible!
Gerber original walnut display
with five chrome handle hunting knives. The knives are from the left to the right:
Big Hunter (11"); Pixie (7"); Flayer (8-1/4"); Shortly
(8-3/4"); Magnum (11"). All knives are mint.
All knife sizes above are the overall length of each knife. The display is
19-3/4" X 16" X 2-1/4" outside dimensions with glass cover and in
excellent condition. The frame is made of sold walnut with a wood backing
and ready to hang on the wall. Each knife is held in the display by metal
hooks. The background of the display is form fitted to hold each knife and
then covered with a golden velvet like material. The display has room for
four more fixed blades and the Gerber Folding Hunter. This display would have
been in a retail store showing the fine Gerber line, either on the counter
or wall, to who ever walked by.
Two of the knives that would have been
included in the display from the factory are the gray handled Mark II and the
first folder that Gerber made called the Folding Hunter. The Mark II fits
into the upper left hand corner and the Folding Hunter goes in the upper
right corner. We do not know what the other three knives where, maybe they where the Coho, Muskie and Mini Magnum.
They hold an edge nearly
forever!
Not sure of the time frame of the display but it could
be from 1946 to 1967. Gerber is famous for their fine walnut boxes and
displays from the past. They had their own in house wood working
shop. A early original item of Gerber Legendary
Blade history and a fine collection! If a person put together the other
missing knives along with this fine group they would have most of the
best blades ever made by Gerber. Remember none of these knives are still
in production and they are very hard to find mint. This style of chrome
handle knives is what Gerber made after the war in 1946. Their
kitchen knives with chrome handles, which are cousins to the hunting
knives, are in the Museum of Modern Art design collection in New York.
The knives and display are available separately!
The following in bold is from the Gerber paper work that
came with the knives back when they came out:
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.
