I have this Gerber Mark II. It has a 6.5" blade, but is not fully double-edged, just the first few inches of one side are (and that side is serrated). Every Mark II I see, is fully double-edged.

I am going to try to attach a few pictures to this, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
MD

I did not ask for its value. I simply wanted more information on this type of Gerber Mark II.
As stated earlier, all the ones I see pictured are full double-edged knives. This one is not.
Thank you.

Sorry, when I originally read your post, "what its worth" was there.

I cannot see your photos. :(

Just to clear things up, I edited the post and removed the request for value. The member should have been notified via system alerts as to why the post was edited.

I can't see your photos, but by your description:

Gerber Command II

Here's another one with black blade:

Thanks for the pictures. I do have a Command II, stainless, satin blade. I contacted Gerber and they told me (based on the serial number) that it was produced in 1981. But the info they sent me talked only of the Mark II's; it didn't mention the Command II. I saw on another website that the Command serial numbering scheme was different than the Mark II's. I haven't been able to find serial number listings for the Command II.
I am uncertain of the date I purchased it (and I did), but I think it was before 1981, more like late 70's. Maybe my memory is just faulty.
 
Gerber produced the Command II from 1981-1986. In 1982, Gerber began using an alphanumeric system for serial numbers. Your Command II is probably 1982, but that's a best guess. Unlike the Mark II, there's no known serial number listings for the Command II.

As for a faulty memory... I'm lucky if my memory gets me within a 5-10 year range these days :D
 
Thanks MerryMadMonk. Gerber said it was made in 1982, but they were basing that off Mark II records. I have read before that Command II's had their own numbering scheme.

I carried this knife on a backpacking trip AUGUST, 1980. I think I purchased it a year or so earlier. I have tried to forget most of my high school days, and I think I have succeeded.
