Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 The new Gerber I ordered came in today. Thank goodness there was a warning included. I might have hurt myself!
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 So Gerber has attorneys, I see. Nice knife. Sharp?
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 I gnu you needed a new knife. To stay safe in bear country, always carry a small pocket knife and hike with a friend. If a bear attacks, stab your friend in the leg and run.
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Good GAWD!! That our society has descended to the point where that is necessary. Of course, in the early '70s I saw an ad in Guns and Ammo for surplus bayonets with a warning that they were sharp and could inflict serious or lethal injuries. That was also around when we started seeing warnings on hand held blow dryers about not using them while in the shower. One of my brothers commented that we should be thankful that people who needed such warnings bathe at all.
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 And, you'll be safe if you travel to the UK also. That is, IF you can sneak it past TSA agents.

Pat Riot Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Looks like a nice knife, Utah Bob. Is it “assisted opening”...spring assisted? I like that blade shape.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Wow!!! I'd better be more careful from now on, I have several of those pointy things!! Thanks Gerber!
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I am not a knife guy , am generally indifferent to them , but this one is interesting. More research may be in order. I have been carrying the same Buck Stockman for something over 40 years. Rex

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 I get most of my working knives from Blade HQ in Utah.They have a huge selection. Cheap or free shipping depending on how much you spend. Good customer service.
