Folding Knives Descriptions

Gerber Gator

Gerber's iconic Gator line gets a boost with premium S30V steel. Polished blades and bolsters offer classic protection against corrosion and undeniable beauty. Its handle has been updated with a Gerber logo stamped steel bolsters and stylized Gator Grip rubber. This folding MODel has a drop point blade with a gut hook and a stout lockback mechanism. Includes an alligator-embossed leather sheath.

Gerber Ghoststrike

This ultra-light self-defense knife has a customizable sheath system that offers low profile or open carry. The fine edge blade is made of durable 420HC steel, a compact skeletal frame keeps it light in hand, and a rubber overmold gives optimal grip.
