The Gerber Gator (brand part no. 06079) is a folding knife built to perform in wet or dry conditions with equal reliability, a design that earned it the Most Innovative Knife of the Year award at Blade Show back in 1991. Gerber has kept the Gator Folder in its lineup ever since, a rare feat in an industry where designs come and go, because the knife simply keeps doing its job for hunters, anglers, and everyday carry users who need a knife that won’t quit when conditions get rough. It’s a proven, long-standing design rather than a new gimmick, backed by decades of field use.
