What is this on my GS15?

[James Burke]

I bought my Gerber GS15 used a few years ago and it came with this metal bracket on one side. What the heck is it? The top loop has about a 1/2" inside diameter.

Perhaps something that a "security" cable might have been run through????

That's the Kerschneevy pin receptacle.





JK ... I'd say you're correct in your guess.

maybe its a bracket for a arm for some kind of take up reel.

Our GS15 doesn't have that upgrade. We could not afford it.

FYI, it is the Kerschneevy spoodle receptacle!

I would probably agree with you James, when I used to sell Gerber in the 80's and 90's they were very theft prone, due to the price vs size I guess. We used to actually budget for the amount of business we did with insurance agencies. Had a bit of fun grabbing a few that came in for repairs too, the thieves did not realize that we knew every installation, serial number and that I worked part time as a bouncer, lol!

The original owner was a university, and from what I can remember about my college days, everything was tied down.

Obviously, it's not going to stop a die-hard thief, but it does slow them down a little and makes it a tad bit harder for them.

When I used to teach high school, the newly remodeled (and well-equipped) school library had a rash problems with students un-screwing computer cabinets and lifting ram chips...and the computers were out in the middle of the room...for all to see. Talk about sneaky.

Just goes to prove that you can't fix stupid. Sucks to be somebody that bought a hot one and didn't know it.
