Side note: Icons are stamped on the handles, different pivots and this requires the Gerber 22-49445 adapter to use 1/4 inch screwdriver bits.

MP 450 has been discontinued, but I lack substantial evidence to prove when. Pro scout has an adapter to use u shank jig saw blades, whereas the sight tool and det tool are military oriented tools. Only the pro scout, sight tool and DET tool are still currently sold. There was also a Fisherman, Cable cutter, "build your own", Woodsman, special MP600, pro scout, sight tool and DET tool. At one point there was an option of these without replaceable wire cutters, but that is no longer the case presently. Also this was originally to be named multi lock.

Chako has done an exceptional job with product information with the Gerber Episode's thread, the Gerber website is helpful (mostly) helpful with what current line of products are still sold and I managed to locate the country of origin (with packaging info to verify) with a sizable amount of Gerber products in the import Gerbers thread, this might help with a consolidated thread with information.Īlso I imagine most know this, another area to locate Gerber information is in the Gerber multi tool encyclopedia.
