    I can't remember but was the Gerber BMF used in any 80's movies. I seem to recall looking through an issue of my dad's Combat Knives (or some other blade rag) that did a cover story on them back in the day.

    I have one maybe that old, duller than Hillary's sense of humor....

    The old Gerbers are such classics.

    Tom Berenger had a Gerber BMF in "Shoot to kill" (1988)
    IIRC one of the bad guys had a Gerber BMF in the "The Rock" - "I'm gonna gut you boy" guy. I think (1996)

    Damn, now those EK's were sexy blades. I remember they made the cover / feature article of one of those 80's knife rags as well.

    Moose my EK was an inexpensive version. It didn't have the highly polished blade and wood. It was more of a parkarized finish. I'll have to dig it out when I get home.

    I remember getting a sheaf like that when thenleather KaBar one wore out.

    Speaking of that,
    The BMF sheaths are hell on making the knives rust. Not new. But something about how the become oxidase as the material ages.
