GERBER-*VERY RARE* Mark II Presidental Collection Fixed Blade w/Leather SheathThis is a rare Mark II Presidental Collection knife. Gerber sent me an email, included in pics, with the details of this knife (This email was directly from GERBER about this knife because i couldnt find the year of it using the serial number, that is why i emailed them about it. Was told by other ppl that it was a presentation model, which it is not, according to GERBER. There were approximately only 1000 of them made. Serial number is 000307. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTIONI put this as new. I would consider this to be near mint to mint condition, SEE ALL PHOTOS. It was bought for the sole purpose of being in this collection and never used. SEE ALL PHOTOS. There is a small cut in the leather sheath on the backside, see photos. I wiped the oil from the knife for the pictures, the last couple pics show that i put oil back on the blade. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please feel free to reach out to me.It did originally come with a COA, but Gerber said that they cannot give another one out. It might still be around here, not my knife, so I will keep searching for itI tried to do a video, but for some reason it is not uploading, but I will keep trying
Here is what the email, directly from Gerber, said about this exact knife:
Hello Rich,
We were able to find some information on this knife.
PC1: PRESIDENT\'S TYPE 1 : \"PRESIDENT\'S COLLECTION\"; MARK I AND MARK II WITH MATCHED 4-DIGIT SERIAL NUMBERS; ZEBRA WOOD; 440C STEEL; WIDE WASP; HIGH POLISH; NO TEETH; PLAIN BRASS GUARD & POMMEL; SLANT 2 LOGO
The PC1 Mark II knives have the wide wasp waist blade profile with a mirror polish and no serrations. They have a three part handle consisting of a solid brass guard, a central Zebrawood handle and a solid brass pommel with thong hole. There are three narrow spacers at each end of the handle between brass and wood. The spacer colors are red-white-red.
The COA issued with the knives are numbered and signed by PeteGerber. They read:
These are very specialGerberMark I and Mark II knives. They are hand made by our most experienced craftsmen using the finest materials available. We are proud of them and hope you are too.
The steel is 440C Stainless, the very best! It is hardened to 57-59C on the Rockwell scale. The handles are Zebrawood from West Africa. All brass parts are precision investment castings.
The PC1 knives are found on 1979 to 1983 knives in the observed serial range of 0035 - 0775. It is assumed 1000 sets were made.
WARNING: Use extreme care if attempting to clean the brass guard and pommel. Keep all polish off of the wood. The dull patina that forms on the brass is \"verdigris\" (copper acetate) and will stain the pores of the wood handles a green color.
I hope this helps.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Warm Regards,
Alex
