Yeah!! I figured if I have to slow down, this is probably a good one to tide me over for a while

Thanks, Rick, I'd never seen one like it before.

Very nice! The file work is exactly like a couple of Don Morrow's that I have. Many Ruple's have the same file work.

Just checked out his website. Beautiful knives he makes.

I've had this for a couple of weeks now. Been too busy to take even the poor quality photos that I seem to always take. I had purchased one in rougher condition earlier this year. I liked it so much I hunted up one in good condition. When I got my hands on this one, I realized what an amazing item I had stumbled across.

This is a Gerber Silver Knight #7621:
made from 1977-1993.
Designed by Al Mar, when he was head designer for Gerber.
3 1/4" closed
Drop point and "sheepsfoot" blades.
Blade steel is Hitachi Gingami I (AKA "Gin 1") hardened to 58-60 HRC. When Spyderco used this alloy, they called it G-2. 15.5% Chromium 0.90% Carbon.

Manufactured by the Japanese company now called G Sakai to tolerances I have not seen on traditional knives, outside of the Moki Lockbacks.

My favorite blades: drop point and Sheepsfoot/coping. But Gerber called it a Sheepsfoot.

The blades are almost impossibly close together, yet do not touch, no matter how I open it. No worries about contact at all. High hardness alloys and high tolerance machining will produce that.

A single spring design. It literally disappears in the pocket. No gaps. It's like a single piece of metal.

There's a fella on another forum who contacted Gerber about the Silver Knight series. Gerber still knew the history and provided him with it. He posted it here:

I may have to edit my signature line. I may have found my "vorpal blade."

Oh my! That is quite the package...I don't know which is prettier, the scales, the filework or the blades!

Wow that is a stunner. What a neat knife. And I mean neat in both the colloquial sense, and in the sense that the knife has a neatness to its lines and execution

Actually not.
I know he designed a "vorpal blade", but I have always used the term to indicate "that which is impossibly good."

Thanks you, Ratbert. I'm really liking this one a lot.

Wow. I think that knife is stunning to everybody. What a thing of beauty

I left out a word in my previous post. Meant to say" You know, I have a soft spot for Al-Mar. Changes the meaning but I get your response.

Who knows what a vorpal blade is? "snicker-snack"

 

[t.willy]

Finally got my JBF Eureka Jack today. What an amazing blade. I still cant post pictures but I think the kind member who sold me the knife is going to help me out lol. Thank you very much Alan for everything.

 

[TinyDog]

Some pics attached for Trevor's latest acquisition. Folks, not a blade anyone would want to let go. However Trevor's passion is in many ways the same as mine. Happy to let this gem go to the next purveyor with the same passion as myself, This one will stand out with some know history. TD

 

[Stan Rose]

That is a beautiful knife. You both have excellent taste.
