Folding Knives Descriptions

Gerber Moment

The Moment line of Hunting Knives from Gerber offer a specific set of skills for any moment in a hunter's day. The Moment Clip Folding Knife is the knife you'll turn to for everyday carry. It has the clean lines of the Moment family and the refinement and reliability of a frame lock folder. Use its tip-up pocket clip for your daily carry option.

Kershaw Launch 6

This slim—and ever-so-slightly wicked-looking—knife features premium CPM154 blade steel. This powdered metallurgy steel offers more uniform distribution of carbides so it takes and holds an excellent edge. The Kershaw 7800 Launch 6 automatic opening pocket knife also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Black DLC coating adds non-reflectivity and enhances performance.
