A robust stainless steel frame lock construction is paired with a stylish, anodized aluminum scale and slicing flat ground blade in a slim, compact profile for comfortable everyday carry.

This version comes with an Olive Micarta scale and blasted steel frame with gray PVD coated Pinch Plate and clip.

Brand new, direct from Gerber Knives.

Blade: Delivered in a rugged, wear-hiding stonewashed finish, the D2 tool steel cleaver style blade has a full flat grind providing excellent slicing performance balanced with durability with a forward tip for piecing. The deep index finger choil delivers enhanced control for fine cutting tasks as well as a secure grip for spine leverage during heavier work. A stainless bearing pivot allows for fast, smooth, one-hand deployment via the index flipper with no grip adjustment thanks to the Gerber Pinch Plate.

Handle: Made from Olive Micarta supported by a stainless steel liner, the front scale is rugged and handsome for daily carry allowing for smooth draw from the pocket. Dual barrel spacers create an easy to maintain, open back construction while reducing the overall weight. For smooth operation and reliable lockup the back is a robust, all stainless steel frame lock with a blasted finish matching the liner. Pulling duty as an over travel prevention and lock stabilizer, the Pinch Plate also prevents unintended pressure on the lock bar for worry free deployment.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up only stainless steel pocket clip.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. With a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) D2 offers greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels. With a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance D2 is a well-balanced, all around knife steel.
