You'd better have a lot of money, because they certainly fetch a pretty penny... :roll:

There are quite a few on ebay. How much is a resonable price to pay?

The problem with these is that they are also a Vietnam War collectible. So, most of the time you are competing against the militaria collectors who have deep pockets for these knives. A Gerber will probably run around $200-250. That's chump change when you compare to other VN knives that can go for upwards of $2500 or more! :shock:

I've seen lil 4 inch (blade) copies in Thailand for $5 but couldn't find them when I was looking last time.

I'm going to have to show you guys this knock off Gerber that I have seen in Thailand, provided that I get back over there first!

I think I paid $100-150 for mine. Some nutter was bidding on every single Gerber up for auction at that time, so it made the price go alittle crazy.

100-150 seems to be the going price for the silver bladed one. The ones with the black powder blade ("do the thing with the knife" version) go for much higher. I have one of the black bladed ones in mint condition that I've been toying with the idea of selling or trading...

Someone nabbed this one from me. I thought it looked pretty close for $10, $11 of course was way out of my price range;)

Good eye, Joe! In the absense of a real Gerber, I think that you found knife would be a fine substitute!

Joe,

That's exactly the Gerber knock off I have. I think it is the closest affordable match. It's not double edged though.

My Gerber was a silver blade one that Jim got powder coated black for me. It does the job and has a nice heft.

Of course, it is only for display....

Cheers
