Gerber 06079 Folding Clip Point Serrated Gator Knife, Box

Customer Reviews & Comments
Gerber's Gator series of folding knives are famous for their unique handle, it is made of a rubber like polymer that gives you a great slip proof grip, even when wet. This particular model is made famous for the fact that Bear Grylls has used it in several of his Man vs Wild episodes, and is also featured on the cover of the Season 1 DVD. The combo blade length is long enough to provide a useful serration section. Most other shorter blades compromise too much, meaning you don't have enough serrations in the blade to cut effectively with a back and forth motion. The only drawbacks are very minor, it uses a lower grade 420HC blade that doesn't stay as sharp as 154CM or S30V which are more expensive, but for the price the 420HC blade on this knife is acceptable. The blade is also not perfectly centered into the handle when closed, again, an acceptable drawback when considering the price. Overall I'm very pleased with this folder and I'm pleased to have it in my collection.
