Gerber Command II, mint in the box, serial no. A1699S; acompanion model to the Mark II. It is 12' overall with a 6-3/4' blade,with serrations on top edge. Thesignificant difference between this knife and the Gerber Mark II is theflat back edge of the knife except for the last three inches near thepoint, which is sharpened and serrated on both sides out near the tip.The handle is black Armorhide metal. Includes the original blackleather sheath with (old style) military utility belt clip. I think theywere produced in the early 1980's only. Knife comes in it’s original orange andwhite box.This page and website is copyrighted.Copyright © 1999 - 2011 Cutler’s Cove Knife Emporium ™ All rights reserved.

Apr 09, 2019 The very early serial number - as best Gerber or anyone else can tell, Gerber began the serial numbering at 001001 - strongly suggests it is the 268th LMF to be manufactured. Beginning roughly in 1989 they switched to what I call the 'second-pattern' knives (in the case of saw-backed blades, the Model 5959).
