Knives Descriptions

Gerber Fast Draw

As Gerber's first assisted opening knife produced, this knife inspired innovation and helped to define a brand. The lightning-quick opening mechanism is still employed today, yet the classic, functional design is all its own.

Kershaw 7500 Launch 4

The blade of this Kershaw Launch for sale is made out of high-performance CPM154 steel. This powdered metallurgy steel has more uniform distribution of carbides—so it takes and holds an excellent edge, provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. The blade is DLC coated for an additional measure of blade protection and non-reflective good looks. Then to lighten the Kershaw Launch 4’s weight, we made the handle and integrated backspacer of durable aluminum, anodized in black.
