I have a Gerber Gator that was given to me as a present in 2002 or 2003, I believe. I'm not sure but imagine it is before shortcuts at the company began. The thing is a terrific knife that I have used to skin and quarter moose, caribou, elk, black bear, and deer without fail. It stays sharp all the way to the end of the job, and then I sharpen it before it gets used on the next animal. No problems.
This winter, I did order a Ron Post "Loveless" drop point that he is working on and hoping will turn out nicely. Those Bark River knives drop points are also very nice IMO.
