Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

I was able to match up the D'Holder Fighter (shown a few posts earlier) and a D'Holder My Knife - in the handle pattern originally most favored by D'Holder - oosic and yellow amber. Over years since the early 70's, the amber morphed from dull, to this very sharp looking stuff, to eventually being much less dramatic.

Many years ago, I had the originals of the top four knives shown on that card. Let them all go when I convinced myself I didn’t need them. Now I miss them. Especially that little guardian. Mike
Yeah I had a guardian but years ago I lost it. I still have my Mark 2 and BMF with sawback. I loved Gerber blades many many moons ago lol.
 
great movie, think I might watch it tonight if it's still on netflix.

I gave my BMF to my brother. I scrimped and saved for that knife, was probably 15 when I bought it during a visit to my dad's in Toronto. I don't miss that knife at all, which is a little weird given my history with it. I guess I always wanted to like it more, but it just wasn't a really well conceived knife. I acquired a 70s Mark II a few years ago and gave it to my dad for his birthday. He was a big fan of Gerbers, had a Frisco Shiv which made quite an impression on me. When he died, his wife gave it back to me and with me it will stay. I have a couple guardians that I picked up here on the exchange, there are some gems that show up from time to time, (just snagged a Gryphon M30 and M10 for a steal!). It's unfortunate that Gerber chose a more corporate path, but I suppose the fact the company still exists may be proof that was a good move. Sadly, their current product is a shadow of the previous products, quality-wise.
