The handle is sand-cast aluminum, a technique Murphy pioneered. If you look closely at the “textured” part of the handle, you’re seeing the literal imprint of the sand mold he used to cast the metal—a signature “Murphy” touch that hasn’t changed much since he made the very first Gerber knives in 1938.

Dave Murphy began his career in the 1930s and was actually the person who made the first knives for Gerber Legendary Blades. Because he passed away in 2000, the supply of these “Gresham, Oregon” marked knives is fixed, making them steady investments for military and custom knife collectors.
