GERBER KNIVES SIMILAR TO THE Mark II™ GERBER KNIVES SIMILAR TO THE Mark II™ Copyright ©2008-2018 by John T. Sabol SIMILAR KNIVES INTRODUCTION This section describes two models of Gerber knives that are similar to and often confused with the Gerber Mark II knife. These models are the Command II and the Guardian II knives. Also shown are several rare issues of these models. Each knife can be accessed from the active buttons above.

For each knife, one or more small thumbnail pictures are shown. By clicking on a thumbnail, you can access a high-resolution picture of the knife. GERBER COMMAND II The Command II knife is very similar to the Mark II. It has the same handle and the blade is the same length.

The black blade models were only offered in stainless steel. The black bladed serial number range I've noted is between A3512S and A8019S. These serial number ranges imply that less than 22,700 of the Command II knives were produced. The Command II was probably produced only between late 1979 and 1982. I suspect that there wasn't a big demand for these knives and so they were discontinued.

There are also several rare copies of the Command II model which are shown in the following sections. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Mark II's serial number and date information does not apply to the Command II knives. The Command II knives have their own serial number ranges.
