Selling a pair of original 1960s era Gerber hunting knives. These have the sprayed metal "Steel Grip" handles that were later replaced in the lineup by gray Armorhide. More famous with the Mark IIs. Very thin, very hard blades that ring like a bell when you tap them. Asking $150 for the set, shipped free in the US.

Shorty: Has clearly been resharpened and has wear/scratches from that and regular use on the blade. Handle is in great shape with the exception of a few small stains and a couple spots where the finish has flaked. Sheath is very worn and moth-eaten.

Flayer: Can't tell if it's been resharpened or not. Blade is in very good condition with some wear/scratches from use. Handle is in very good shape with several patches of flaked finish at the end. Sheath is in decent shape.
