GA5: GRAY ARMORHIDE TYPE 5 : "SURVIVAL"; ARMORHIDE; L6 STEEL; WIDE WASP; 12 TEETH/IN.; SLANT 2 LOGO The GA5 knives have the "wide wasp-waist" blade profile but have a slightly coarser "fine" serration of 12 teeth per inch. Possibly Gerber added a second serration cutting machine, and a slightly more aggressive 12 TPI serration was chosen. Note that GA5 knife production was started approximately 2 years later than the GA4 knives, but that their ending serial numbers are very close. This seems to indicate that both the GA4 and GA5 versions of the knife were being produced at the same time during the period from early 1974 to mid 1976. The GA5 knives are found on early 1974 to mid 1976 knives in the approximate serial range of96. The serial number on this Gerber Mark II Survival Knife is #040075. This knife is near mint condition.
