Gerber Custom C475 ebony wood handle, high speed steel blade
that is near mint, sharpened with light scuff marks. The knife is 9-5/8"
overall. The original leather sheath is near mint. The leather sheath
that comes with this knife is the first design. They have a unique shape
that holds the knife in the sheath for normal carry but if you need more
protection there is still a snap strap to completely lock the knife in.
The following in bold is from the Gerber paper work that
came with the knives back when they came out:
Custom designed to meet the rugged demands of today's
outdoorsman, these superb cutting tools blend ultramodern, functional
design, and skilled Gerber craftsmanship and manufacturing techniques.
Extra-strong blades are precision ground to a razor sharp, double-wedge
shape and boast a super-hardness of Rockwell C60-62. Special industrial
hard-chrome plating keeps these high speed tool steel blades bright and stainless through the demanding use for which this series
was designed.
There were six blade designs to choose from with this ebony wood handle. According to
Levine's Guide to Knives and Their Values 4th Edition Al
Mar designed these while he was at Gerber. Made 1976-78.
