Hi all, I just pre-ordered a pair of Greber MKIIs after a few years of eyballing them and watching the price keep rising, (especially in the secondary market) I planned of using one of them but now google seems full of articles on them breaking...
 
Even though the tangs are short, they tend to be fine strength wise. If they break anywhere, it tends to be the guard arms. Old or new, if I see a broken MkII, it tends to be in that area. A lot of the damage tends to be people throwing them, but a good fall can shear a guard arm off.

The biggest problem with the new MkII is that Gerber won't make them in a plain edge :).
 
That is a relief, personally I like having partial serrarions but I'd agree, having the choice would be nice. Thank you!
