Thanks man that's really good info and has me wanting the Meyerco version. The thread I was referring to was found here https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/anyone-know-anything-about-the-meyerco-bolt-action.150231/ Where they say the list was $59 but it was sold in some Smokey Mtn Catalogue for only $15.99...The ironic thing is I found a NOS one in Germany but they wanted $200!!I own the Meyerco and I've handled the Gerber. In my opinion, Gerber was at the top of its game in the 1980s, particularly with folders, and the Gerber Bolt Action reflects that. But the Meyerco isn't very far off. It certainly doesn't feel like a $15 knife! (It wasn't expensive when I bought it, but I don't remember it being any $15, either!) If I had to compare the "feel" of its construction, I would say it's pretty close to early synthetic-handled Spyderco, Moki, or SOG--slightly rougher handle texturing than the Gerber, but as smooth and secure in its lockup.
