GERBER LST Knife, Fine Edge Black

In 1980, Pete Gerber introduced the Gerber L.S.T. Fine Edge Knife to the market. This lightweight knife, weighing only 1.2 ounces, was the first to feature a handle made entirely of synthetic materials. Collaborating with knife designer Blackie Collins, Gerber aimed to create a rugged yet lightweight knife, a concept previously unseen in the industry.

The knife boasts a checkered fiberglass-filled nylon handle, providing strength, durability, and a non-slip grip. Its drop-point blade with a convex curve towards the point offers an effective edge for slicing, making it an ideal hunting knife. The 420HC stainless steel blade measures 2.63 inches, with an overall length of 6.2 inches when opened and 3.47 inches when closed.

The Gerber L.S.T. is designed for smooth operation, with a satisfying mechanical action when opening and closing the blade. Despite its lightweight build, the knife is sturdy and reliable. Pete Gerber's innovative use of synthetic materials in the handle has proven to be a groundbreaking concept in the knife industry.

The Gerber L.S.T. is the smoothest of operators, made even more durable with a lock back feature to securely keep the blade open. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this knife is proudly made in the USA. With its lightweight design, tactile textured handle, and high-quality stainless steel blade, the Gerber L.S.T. is a testament to Pete Gerber's legacy of innovation and quality in knife-making.
