Gerber Folding Pocket Knife
This Gerber Folding Sportsman II knife is engraved, “Alyeska Pipeline Service Company / Ten Years Service.” on the blade. It was presented on a person’s 10 year work anniversary.
This is a very nice looking lock-back Gerber knife with a trailing point blade. It has a solid brass casing with wood inlays. (I believe the wood is Macassar ebony from S.E. Asia.) The knife came in a sturdy Gerber leather case with a snap closure and belt loop on the back.
This particular knife was present to Larry Motschenbacher in 1997.
Closed:4 1/2″, open: 8″ [LNM]
Alyeska Safety Glasses
These ANSI Z87 rated safety glasses came in a red case. The clip on the case easily snapped to a belt loop or loop on your jacket. These features made it easy to always have your safety glasses with you when visiting Pipeline or Terminal facilities. The case also provided a place to put your safety glasses when you weren’t using them, protecting the lenses from being scratched.
Adjustable temples allowed them to be adjusted to fit a wide range of people sizes.

1997 – 12 Billion Barrel Flashlight
Keychain Flashlight
Zipper Thermometer
A handy little thermometer to have on your parka even though it only went down to -20F. The wind chill chart on the back was a particularly helpful reminder for those who tended to underestimate the effects of the wind.
This chart used the wind chill numbers that were in effect before Nov. 2001. A new wind chill formula was adopted in Nov 2001 based on additional studies. It tended to increase the wind chill effect at lower wind speeds and decrease it at higher wind speeds.
Length – 2″ [LNM]
