[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1252354, member: 7123"] Well, Stingray, I think that like a LOT of brands, including them, Buck, Shrade, etc. -- their quality NOW bears no similarity at all to their quality in the past. 10 years can make all the difference, and I agree Gerber made good products back then, without a doubt. Funny how Imperial Shrade went out of business in 01 or 02, and yet somehow they're still selling new stuff. Point is, it's Chinese & Phillipine mass junk pushers that have taken over a lot of these brands in the last 10 years or so. I myself have an old Gerber multi-tool and like you, I think it's a fine piece of steel. So I'm limiting my comments to present day and last 2-4 years or so, depending on brand. A Gerber saw I bought broke in half the first time I used it in the field, and ANY knife maker who doesn't reveal the actual blade steel types used in each of their knives is hiding something *for a reason*. Gotta love those phrases like "surgical stainless steel" and "aircraft aluminum". [/QUOTE]
