[ABOUT THIS RARE GERBER ARCHIVE PIECE]
An exceptionally rare collector\'s piece from GERBER\'s short-lived \"PK\" (Pocket Knife) Series produced during the iconic 1970s \"Black Box\" era.
The PK-1 Skookum features a dual 440C stainless steel blade design (a main cutting blade and a thin-ground precision small blade) fitted into a sleek stainless steel handle accented with rich ebony wood inlays and solid brass liners. Because the PK series was manufactured for only a very brief period, complete examples in unused condition with their original 1970s packaging are incredibly difficult to find on the market today.

- Blades: Unused with factory edge. Features shallow surface rub marks/scratches on the blades from opening/closing against each other over decades of storage.
