This knife looks like the SS, GERBER boot knives first sold in the 1970s, but were impossible to resharpen. Can these be resharpened?

Sorry, I already tossed the packaging. However, if you go to www.hamptonforge.com you can ask Hampton Forge LTD (R) directly. It is a US company based in New York and New Jersey but I can't tell you were they get there knives from. I do have to say they are awesome knives. But be careful they are so sharp I have cut myself and didn't even realize it until I saw the blood. I hope this info helps :)

Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp.It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

Yes you can. It works fantastic. I've used it on my fishing knives and they work like new again.

no idea but i do believe that Gerber has lifetime guarantee so get in touch with them. Keep me informed.

That particular point I do not know. I do know that I have had a Puma hunter's pal for over35 years, and, I owned a buffalo hunter for 30 years until I lost it. The German steel in these knives is only the best. They sharpen nicely and stay sharp as good as any on the market.

I just bought a new one to modify, I checked it with some of the older ones I own of which a few are so old they have lost the original shape from being sharpened so many times over the years. They are all the same thickness and I think some of them are from the first mfg. runs. They make for a good bush craft knife with some mods. Hope this helps you.

Honestly Im not sure but you can send it to Kershaw for them to sharpen it for free. That is what I do with all my Kershaw knives.

You can also use Delta knives. I discovered this due to needing new ones and Steel City was out of stock. They are identical. Part #22-549, made for Delta model 22-580. Paid $39.99 at Woodcraft store.

To purchase them from the owner, I'm not sure, but yeah I'm pretty sure the screws are replacable they are very common on other knives. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have used this knife every day for like 5 months and used it plenty, it's actually worth it, I don't think you'll have to be replacing it anytime soon or ever.

I bought it as a gift and haven't used it. From what I understand global knifes are shapend at a different angle than German knifes. It wouldn't be ideal.

YES they do, they have an excellent quality blade, I have had one in my pocket for over 20 years, Great little knife! I sharpen mine with a homemade flat with 320 sand paper on it to touch it up once in awhile. If you have problems sharpening it, have a pro hit it on the belts they use one time and bring it back. that is how the factory sharpens them...Erik

It says they are replaceable. Try going to Gardena.com At the bottom it says contact. Click on it and a form will pop up. For subject choose spare parts. Ask where they may be obtained and they will answer. This is the first time I have seen that they are made in the US. So, if that is true, as well as them saying replaceable, you may be in luck. Wonder if someone sharpens them of you are unable to get a new blade?

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

This knife model is not new at all. It's actually one of the oldest ones we make. and Yes, all of our kitchen knives are available in both a Classic black and pearl white. I can order one for you if you'd like, but the pricing is not the same as posted here on amazon. just contact me at hokuwong@gmail.com

It is implied. These are never sold new without a sheath and they only come with one kind of sheath. Shame of it is, it's not a very good one. The knife however is great.

Maybe the black coating is over the stainless steel which would make it double protected from rust. None of my Gerbers had rust, but I am always keeping it oiled. This black Gerber is just tougher. Not worried about the rust.
