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 Propel
Durable, fast to deploy, and rugged. This knife is a one-hand opening workhorse with a S30v tanto blade that can cut through anything; the black oxide coating and G-10 handle minimize slip to keep you safe in critical conditions.
