 ***GERBER Legendary Blades Limited Edition President's Collection***

In Pete Gerber's words: 

"These are very special Gerber Mark I and Mark II knives. They are hand made by our most experienced craftsmen using the finest materials available. We are proud of them and hope you are too.

The steel is 440C Stainless, the very best! It is hardened to 57-59C on the Rockwell scale. The handles are Zebrawood from West Africa. All brass parts are precision investment castings".

Condition:

Pre-owned but never used or sharpened. Knives have some light wear/marks from storage and handling over the years. A professional cleaning should restore these knives to pristine state. The box's fabric lining worn through at pressure points under the knives, and the lid's lining's glue is starting to let go (due to age??). Signed card (COA) missing.
