The President's Collection is a limited edition matched set of two Gerber knives, a Mark II and a Mark I, both with the same serial number. The two knives were issued in a black-cloth lined walnut box. Four retainer prongs are included if the box is to be used as a wall hanging display. No sheaths were included with the knives.

These knives do not use the one piece aluminum handle. Four types of sets exist. The handle section of two versions is made from Zebrawood and the handle section of the other two versions is made of Sambar Stag. The four versions are Zebrawood, Zebrawood Engraved, Sambar Stag and Sambar Stag Engraved. The engraving was done on the brass guards and pommels and signed by master engravers such as Barbara Pierce, J. West, George Sherwood, Robert Evans, Robert Valade and others.

The COA issued with the knives are numbered and signed by Pete Gerber. These knives were only made for several years. All of the sets that I have observed have a serial number less than 1000. Supposedly there were 1000 sets of each type made. I also noted a type PC2 and a PC2E both sets having the same serial number, 0176.
