Brand new, direct from Gerber Knives.

Blade: Delivered in a stunning polished finish, the D2 tool steel cleaver style blade has a razor-like hollow grind providing amazing slicing performance. A forward tip pairs with the deep finger choil offering control for fine cutting tasks as well as piercing. A generous oval hole in the blade allows for easy, one-hand operation with no grip adjustment thanks to the Gerber Pinch Plate.

Handle: Made from Urban Blue Micarta, the front scale offers enhanced traction and a handsome look for urban carry. Three 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 gray PVD coating 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.
