Hi all. I've just recently been bit by the knife bug and been looking at purchasing a few cool ones that I have discovered. But I remembered last night that I had this old Gerber Paul 2PW stuffed in a keepsake box so I dug it out and did some light maintenance on it. It does have the 1 etched on the inside. It's too nice to daily carry so I was thinking about taking it to the pawn shop to see about trading it for a gun. But I wanted to consult with people that have more knowledge about it than I do. Do I have a treasure here or is it just a meh old knife? I got it in 1989 as a gift from a friend and it's been stored away since then. The little research that I have done points to it being special. Thoughts? Pics are here, I think....(posting pics here is a bit difficult)

You need a Gold or higher membership to discuss prices/values. But from what I've seen I wouldn't exactly use the term "treasure".

Pawn shops will offer you chump change for it. You will be much better offer getting the Gold membership I mentioned and trading it here
Could be treasure to somebody. I'm not talking about being worth thousands of dollars, I'm not that ignorant. But it could be one that a collector would want to add to their collection. It's in great shape for being 40ish years old.
It's too nice for an EDC and it and is just a waste being wrapped up and stored away in my closet. I would rather somebody that really appreciates it give it a new home. Although I do love it, I have no use for it besides an occasional glance and a few flicks and maintenance.
