Question about Gerber pearl handeled knives

MyLondon · Feb 2, 2001

I recently purchased a Gerber Silver Knight pearl handle knife. It was to replace one that was stolen several years ago with a couple of other Gerbers that I had. Anyway... I thought the pearl handle I had was a Silver Knight like the abalone Silver Knight that I am also looking to replace. I recently saw the exact same knife listed and stamped as a Gerber Silver Eagle.

Hopefully the pics will show the 2 knives.

The knife I purchased is in the pic with the black box. Is this the same knife with a wrong stamp? Or did they change the name of the knife? Is either more valuable?
Thanks in advance for the info!

MyLondon, a couple of possibilities. I have a couple of Gerber Silver Knights but they are single blades with wood handles. I also have the same with the two blade configuration yours has but I don't have the box for it. It could be the two blaed model has a different name or maybe the pearl handle has a different name. I've got a single blade abalone version. I'll check the box tonight to see if it has a different name than Silver Knight. Finally, since these knives have been out of production for several years now, it is possible one got into the wrong box at some point.

Thanks for the reply. The thing is the blades are stamped. One with Silver Knight, and the other with Silver Eagle. That is where my confusion comes.

Is there some where I can look up production of Gerber Knives?

Thanks again in advance.
