Bought a Gerber MP800 almost 20 years ago at the PX right before they issued the 600s. Never really used it as I was in training but my less the cleaver mom used the knife as a can opener messing up the knife. Never used it much after as I had an issued one but a few years ago I decided to try their lifetime warranty. Shipped it in got a brand new blade and looks as new. Even returned it in a new sheath.
I have the same tool you have in the video. I can't remember when I got it, but it was a long time ago. (Its at least 20yrs old) I broke my serrated blade too and made a warranty claim with pictures (did not have the piece that broke off). They sent me a whole new tool in the package and I didn't have to send in the old tool.
Glad it helped !!! If you try to get parts from them they will ask you for a recipt or proof of purchase for parts . Once they get that, they will ship parts out right away .
Thank you for a thorough, step-by-step (with important procedural caution points) and good still pic details of hard to see details. Can you buy different blade components from Gerber to repair or swap out? Thank you again for an awesome tutorial video.
I've warrantied a couple different tools that my brother had in his collection (i inherited after his passing) Filed a claim on them separately for different issues . Gerber/Fiskars sent out brand new multitools for each claim! Was able to keep the broken multitools for parts 😎
Glad to hear . The tool is such a great tool . They where pretty tight for me . They wanted pictures and receipt. However once they got there info they sent out the exact parts right away :)
Hey I have one of these. Mine is the cheap stainless steel version. I have never had a problem with it. I keep it in my plate carrier. Interesting mix of different content. 👍
Man it's a great tool I hear you. I have only had issues when I am abusing it. ( my fault ) For example I broke it in Belize last month while trying to cut my way into a coconut :) I feal like the stainless model is exactly the same including metal just the black version is treated in a specific way.
Cool idea, i just researched about anodizing steel and want tp try it now :) I just took a quick look at my gerber and at a first glance it looks to be rivited ( definatly give it a double check ) if you open all the blades and screwdrivers out it is under there. Mine is dirt and im out of the shop. Perhaps you may get lucky and have an allen wrench fit in there :)
@ right? mine are full of scratches. just wanna make it look new without having to buy a new one. but sadly can’t i guess. unless they’re selling the rivet then ill probably do the anodizing. its not worth dipping everything in the solution just to find out the plastic break into pieces😆. if you got the chance to anodize it with the plastic on, and successful, please let me know. im keen to know the result. thanks anyways. cheers 🍻
Just wondering - wouldn't it have made sense to mill tiny wrench flats or perhaps drill pin wrench holes or some other wee grabby thing onto those screw heads?

Thanks for the video. I recently picked one of these up and wanted to know how to maintain it. I can definitely accomplish that now.

Been trying to find the spring clip that goes around the two pins
I put a claim in two days ag. I will let you know how it goes. Also in the links below is the Gerber warentee link. Perhaps throw a claim in as well.
Just wondering - wouldn't it have made sense to mill tiny wrench flats or perhaps drill pin wrench holes or some other wee grabby thing onto those screw heads?
Good point . For sure it would have been way more user friendly for sure .
