In a world gone soft, there are exceptions. There are people like you who still hike, fish, hunt, climb and tackle the tough chores like your father did. For them, or you, we offer these knives. Gerber® knives are the product of over six decades of hard-earned knowledge, and you'll know it by the way these knives balance in your hand, hold their edge under stress and flawlessly performs the task at hand.

From very early on, Gerber collaborated with top knife designers, setting a standard of quality for everyone else to follow. Renowned designers such as Al Mar, Bob Loveless, Paul Poehlmann, "Blackie" Collins, William Harsey Jr. and Ernest Emerson have all designed knives for Gerber.

How much does one and half ounces feel like in your hand? Not much at all, really. Almost nothing. Yet when it takes the form of the Ridge, you're carrying a whole lotta knife. (The Mini Ridge weighs even less.) And because it's from Gerber Legendary Blades, you can have a reasonable expectation of heavyweight performance.

Notice how the edge of the non-stick stainless steel blade is as straight as can be. That means you'll get absolutely even cutting pressure regardless of which part of the blade you're using. It's a strong little knife. With all the attitude you'd ever want or need.

So go ahead. Clip this pint-sized monster into your pocket. Take it with you wherever you go. Whip it out and open it with one-handed ease whenever there's something that needs to be cut. The Ridge and Mini Ridge will stand tall for you. Every dang time.
