Hi everyone. New here. Can anyone help me in identifying this knife. There are no markings at all. It seems to be very solid. Thanks in advance.

Nice Gerber trident. Could do a great custom handle on that. Well made blade.

Definitely a Gerber Silver Trident possibly modified for the Russian market.
Russian knife laws do not permit guards on fixed blades over a certain length so
sometimes you see fairly well known knives with their guards removed.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea.

Handle appears to have been manufactured that way.

Looks like that Trident has it's handle modified on top and bottom with "step" grooves which are carried over to the top and bottom of the guard.
Do you have photos looking at the knife from above and below?

Somebody got creative with a grinder on that one. It didn't come from Gerber looking like that.....
