The Gerber Gator clip point plain edge folding knife is the lockback folder Gerber introduced in 1991 and still makes in the USA (Gerber part no. 06069). It carries a 420HC stainless steel clip point blade with a plain edge, set in a glass-filled nylon handle with a rubberized Gator Grip overmold that is textured like alligator skin. The lock back holds the blade open for hard use, and the knife ships with a heavy-duty ballistic nylon sheath. At 8.5 inches overall and 5.4 ounces, it is a full-size working knife for the field, the shop or the truck. It earned the Most Innovative Knife of the Year award at Blade Show in 1991.

Key Specifications

• Blade steel is 420HC stainless, a corrosion-resistant steel that is easy to keep sharp in the field.
• The blade is a clip point with a plain edge, a shape that slices cleanly and keeps a fine tip.
• The handle is glass-filled nylon with a Gator Grip overmold, giving a secure hold even when wet.
• The lock is a lock back, which keeps the blade from closing on your fingers during heavy cuts.
• Overall length is 8.5 inches, a size that fills the hand for demanding tasks.
• The knife weighs 5.4 ounces, which keeps it manageable for belt or pack carry.
• A ballistic nylon sheath is included, so it can ride on a belt without a pocket clip.
