Hanging up side down and held in with a seatbelt, safety line or some other tough nylon strapping? No worries. Cutting through the webbing will be like using a hot knife on soft butter. Simple as that. And no need to worry about cuts or punctures were you don't want them. The design shields the cutting edge. Protecting delicate surfaces. Shielded blade. Cuts straps and seatbelts quickly. Molle-attachable sheath. Blade Material: High Carbon Stainless. Handle Material: Glass-filled nylon

One of the most impressive things about cutting-edge architecture is when a structure captures attention and earns praise as much for how it looks as for what it does. So it is with the Truss. A knife that brings to bear a design sensibility rarely seen in the world of clip folding knives. Sleek. Graceful. Dramatic. And yet, at the end of the day, it's also undeniably practical. The Truss is the model of strength. With a frame-lock handle that'll never fail. And with a level of precision engineering that inspires pure confidence.

If Gerber had settled for making just one version of the Paraframe knife, people might have been content. Because this reputable example of framelock design caught on admirably among knife lovers...making the Paraframe a mainstay of the industry. There is a simplicity to this knife that relates as much to function as it does to form. It's a breeze to open. The clip point blade configuration is ideal for cutting in close quarters. Openness rules the day where the handle is concerned—there's more air than metal—so it's quite lightweight and quite easy to keep clean. Clip a Paraframe into your pocket.

There's nothing quite like frothing rapids and the Herculean force of water crashing around boulders to thrill the souls of whitewater rafters. And there's no watersports knife quite like the Gerber River Shorty or its companion, the River Runner. We built these beauties especially for the unique requirements of rafting, paddling and diving. Medium-carbon stainless steel is the core material, polished to within an inch of its life to limit corrosion. The blade is 3 inches of river runnin' versatility, with the serrated sharp side aiming up rather than down.

Part of the legend of the Gerber name is our ever-expanding list of special use knives. The E-Z Out Rescue is a prime example. Designed for scenarios when you need to cut without risk of poking or puncturing adjacent surfaces—such as someone's flesh—this knife can be seen clipped on the pockets of search & rescue types. The blunt tip will do no harm. Yet the wickedly serrated blade is gonna cut through stuff like crazy. It's fast, efficient, effective, and measures 3.51" from hilt to tip. The bright yellow handle is made of super-strong thermoplastic that's reinforced with fiberglass. And those black rubber inserts you see? That's a material called Kraton®, which we engineered in for extra gripping performance.

There comes a time in a guy's life when he might start thinking he has too many knives. But when you show him one of these, well, maybe he starts thinking that there's room for one more. After all, the AR 3.0 and 3.5 represent hybrid knife design at its best. You're looking at the near-perfect combination of strength, balance, ergonomics, minimal weight, and a stylized look that can rightly be described as bad to the bone.

Ever notice how alligators are completely indifferent to the weather? Well these prized knives are kinda the same, because they perform to their fullest whether the conditions are wet or dry. If there's a job to be done, our Gator Folders are more than up to it. But that's not just Gerber talking. Heck, when we debuted the Gator Folders back in 1991, the insightful attendees at Blade Show named our reptilian creation as the "Most Innovative Knife of the Year." And these were our competitors doing the voting...

Available with fine edge or serrated edge.

It's not hard to imagine that winning awards for their work on the Freeman Folder would make our knife designers feel pretty good. And they do, because they won the 2004 IWA "International Knife Award." But ask them about what's truly satisfying about their creations—the drop point or the gut hook—and the answer has more to do with offering regular guys a hunting knife that'll just flat-out get the job done.

Axes have been around for ages. And even our award-winning axes are hardly new. But the Gator Axe is a wood-bustin' breakthrough. Because we applied our proprietary Gator textured rubber to the grip for an unprecedented level of comfort and control. Beneath that tactile rubber surface is a virtually indestructible glass-filled nylon handle. And inside that handle is a hollow area containing a magnet that can hold a knife. The axe head is engineered from forged steel, which does an outstanding job of keeping its edge.
