I remember seeing those.
That was the "Magnum LST"
Steel was the famous "surgical stainless" that Gerber used to advertise. Never was sure of the actual alloy.
I used to carry a regular LST in the '80s. Steel performed on the order of soft 440A.
add: I doubt it was any of the AUS series.

Knarfeng,
Thanks, I thought it could have been an AUS6 steel, the only one i could compare with the steel used for that knife. You certainly are right, it's a soft steel which doesn't hold an edge. The good point of this edge were the serrations, not too large for wood cutting.
