I found a new in the box Gerber Parabellum at a local pawn shop. I always thought it was an interesting concept but never had a chance to handle one. Does anyone have any experience with one?

Collector pieces if like new.

Other than that. It's dated design.

Enough of a collectors piece that it shouldn't be used?

I found it to big, bulky and heavy.
Never really used it. But it was cheap at the PX.

The sheath was novel. Open it up and you could make it into fixed blade carry.

If it's a good price and the metal Gerber buttons
on the knife pivot are present and the sheath is complete.
I would buy it and flip it to buy something I like.

But if you use it as is. Gerber fans will cry.

I have one that came with a pretty nice leather sheath.  The knife is mint, except ONE of the Gerber pivot cover disks is missing.  It would make a decent user if it wasn't so large.  Think I paid maybe $50 or $60 at a gun show a few years ago.

Both pivot covers are there, the blade has never been sharpened and it looks like the factory oil is still on the blade. The sheath is in perfect condition but the box is toast.

I can pick it up for $90, maybe cheaper.
