Nice find! I have several early Gerbers in my collection. The early ones can bring good money. Careful of the rust on the carbon steel blade, I use car wax to protect mine.

to try to clean it the rust is very light must have been in a box sitting for a wile

$25 is one sweet deal! It is worth a LOT more!!!

 

[bigjohn]

brass bristle brush will take the rust off and not harm the steel

I'd just use some gun oil and a toothpick on the rust spots.

I need to get my ass up early on the weekends. I have thought about it but now I know I need too.

Nice find!

I'll never forget my MK-II... stolen when I was working on my car when I went into the house to answer the phone!

Get up and go to those yard sales and flea markets!
If you know what you're looking for you can find some great things.
Recently I found a couple valuable handmade swords, an old Baltimore whiskey jug, and a rare antique Natty Boh beer can from the 1940's all for $10 each.
I could put them on ebay and make hundreds of dollars.

I have one damn near new, perfect condition, sheath and all. SN D8156S. Most I have ever cut with it was some rope.
