GERBER Mark II™ PRODUCTION DATE INFORMATION Production Table IntroductionDate or production tables relate Gerber Mark II serial numbers to the years they were manufactured. Nine major and several minor tables/lists exist. However there are some discrepancies between them.
Remember, that in the early years, Gerber did not keep careful records. It was nearly 14 years later in 1981 that a table was compiled by Mr.
Doug Hutchens, Survival Knife Historian at Gerber.I have attempted to use information from the lists to resolve some of the discrepancies, correct a few errors and insert more detail into the table. However there are several serial range differences that I could not resolve.The Tables/Lists Used to Formulate My Date Table:. 1981 Hutchens Table - Mr. Doug Hutchens held several managerial positions at Gerber and was the Survival Knife Historian. 1982 American Historical Foundation Table - Probably done by Robert Buerlein. 1984 Pete Gerber Desk List - List found in Pete Gerber Sr.'
S desk. 1986 Unknown Origin Table - Table of unknown origin. 1997 Levine List - Published in Bernard Levine's Guide to Knives and Their Values IV. Also found at(Over half way down page).

List - Info sheet by Donda Burnett, Gerber Consumer Affairs. 2008 Sarasota Info - 2/10/09 Sarasota Table - Number ExplanationMark II serial numbers were all numeric from 1966 through 1981 and a simple subtraction plus 1 gives the total knives made in a year.In 1982 an alpha-numeric system was adopted.
These serial numbers consist of a single leading letter followed by digits from 0000 to 9999 followed by an 'S' or 'T'. If the leading alpha character doesn't change for the year, again simple subtraction plus 1 gives the total.

Note that for some reason no 'G' serial numbers were made. Also no records exist for 'S/Ns A3012S-A4010S (Ref. Donda Bernet).When the alpha letter changes during the year, a double calculation is done. Using the 1988 year as an example: F3523S - H4854S indicates that the serial numbers for 1988 start at F3523S and go up to F9999S then switch to H0000 and end at H4854S.So (F9999S - F3523S + 1) = 6477 and (H4854S - H0000S + 1 ) = 4855Therefore 6477 'F' knives + 4855 'H' knives gives the total knives made that year as 11,332.
The number on a Case knife represents various features associated with the knife. On a typical item, the number will consist of four digits. The first number represents the type of handle material used to make the knife, the next digit indicates the number of blades it has, and the last two digits signify the factory pattern number of the knife (assigned to the handle die).Be sure to stop by our store &. Use the number code to identify & add some cool Case pocket knife patterns in your favorite handle cover variations to your collection!Additional Note: Following the pattern number, there are often additional letters that have further significance.
These letters are called blade abbreviations that represent other traits associated with the knife. In addition to the blade abbreviations, there are often other additional numbers and letters as follows:Extra zerosIn the past, Case has added one or two zeros to an original pattern number to signify a variation of an existing pattern. These zeros can be found before the first digit, or between the blade identification number, and the original factory pattern number.Two Digit Handle Number DesignationSome handle materials have been assigned more than one digit. An example of this would be appaloosa. This material is represented as A6.Three Digit Factory Pattern NumbersRelatively recent Case knives often have three digit factory pattern (handle die) numbers instead of the usual two. An examples of this includes the CopperLock.
It was introduced in 1997 with a factory pattern number of 549.More about Blade AbbreviationsFollowing the pattern number, there are often various letter abbreviations that represent other unique characteristics not covered by the patterns number. For example: if SH follows the patterns number, the knife will contain a sheepsfoot blade. If there is a DR, the knife should have a drill hole in the rear bolster. A 1/2 is very common. It signifies that the knife has a clip master blade. Note that the blade abbreviations may be located behind, below, or on a different blade as the pattern number. Have Knives to sell?
