The Outdoorsman Limited

Choose between the E-Z Saw or the E-Z Skinner (shown).

Hunters rely on the expertly engineered Gerber E-Z Skinner or E-Z Saw for precise and accurate field dressing. The union of co-moulded rigid thermo plastic and softgrip form a handle with a sure grip. Field dressing has never been easier. E-Z Saw features a surgical steel blade with precision ground teeth and a smooth end stop to prevent punctures. E-Z Skinner features a surgical steel blade with a built-in gut hook. Ballistic Nylon Sheath included.

We don't necessarily make knives to win popularity contests. But in the case of our E-Z Out and E-Z Out Jr. line, we're not gonna complain how they've gained such a dedicated following. Because these profoundly versatile clip folders have certainly done their part to help folks fend for themselves. Cutting the things that need cutting. Think of them as all-around knives for everyday life.

As the name suggests, they're very easy to open and use. All it takes is one hand to smoothly deploy the stalwart stainless steel blade.

Of particular value to dedicated knife users is the hell-or-high water rugged polycarbonate handle, complete with supple gripping agility of our Softgrip® inserts. The combination is a pleasure to hold in your hand. And a pretty slick solution for any task that requires a knife with backbone.

Part of the legend of the Gerber name is our ever-expanding list of special use knives. The E-Z Out Rescue is a prime example. Designed for scenarios when you need to cut without risk of poking or puncturing adjacent surfaces—such as someone's flesh—this knife can be seen clipped on the pockets of search & rescue types.

The blunt tip will do no harm. Yet the wickedly serrated blade is gonna cut through stuff like crazy. It's fast, efficient, effective, and measures 3.51" from hilt to tip.

The bright yellow handle is made of super-strong thermoplastic that's reinforced with fiberglass. And those black rubber inserts you see? That's a material called Kraton®, which we engineered in for extra gripping performance.

Getting your hands on the optimal fillet knife can be as daunting as winter steelhead in Pacific Northwest rivers. That is, unless you're acquainted with Gerber's Gator Fillet knife, available in four lengths. This sleek demon of a knife can make even the rawest rookie look like an old pro at the cutting board.

The Gator Fillet is the fin-snappin' epitome of masterful craftsmanship in knifemaking. With a full tang stainless steel blade. And Gerber's patented Gator Grip handle. So it feels good in your hand, whether the conditions are wet or dry. Okay, maybe not as good as when that big one strikes your line. But still...

And one more thing: The Gator Fillet comes complete with a hard-molded sheath and built-in ceramic sharpener, so you can do your fillet thing right there on the dock or on shore. Fresh caught fish deserve only the finest, right? Right.

The Gerber Freeman Hunter was designed by hunters for hunters. Brad Parrish and Geoff Freeman combined their 34 years of Gerber experience to create these specialised blades. Features include a rugged full tang surgical steel blade and sculped wood handles. Leather sheath included.

It's not hard to imagine that winning awards for their work on the Freeman Folder would make our knife designers feel pretty good. And they do, because they won the 2004 IWA "International Knife Award." But ask them about what's truly satisfying about their creations—the drop point or the gut hook—and the answer has more to do with offering regular guys a hunting knife that'll just flat-out get the job done.

Our designers really thought this one through. With features like an open spine that permits easy clean-ups, a true finger guard, grip-enhancing grooves that double as indexing indicators, a wide lanyard opening, and our ever-popular lacquered pear handle grips. And then there's the fact that the Freeman Folder looks mighty good, whether it's in the field or on the mantle.

There was a time when passionate hunters never uttered words even remotely like "brilliant" or "ingenious." But this combination hunting instrument changed all of that. As the name suggests, blades are simply and easily exchanged to match the task at hand. In fact, it's push-button easy. Which makes the Freeman Exhange-A-Blade extremely cool. Because it's extremely versatile.

Some guys will tell you that if carry but one knife into the field, it oughta be this one. What with its stainless steel blades and bolsters. And its gorgeous pear wood handles, lacquered up and ready for rugged use season after season.

Both versions come with a fine edge blade and a blunt-nose saw. Then it becomes a matter of choosing between the slender boning blade, or the down-and-dirty gut hook. (And now a word from our big city lawyers: Never change blades with your hand on the cutting edge. No kidding...)

There comes a time in a guy's life when he might start thinking he has too many knives. But when you show him one of these, well, maybe he starts thinking that there's room for one more. After all, the AR 3.0 and 3.5 represent hybrid knife design at its best.

You're looking at the near-perfect combination of strength, balance, ergonomics, minimal weight, and a stylized look that can rightly be described as bad to the bone.

Sure, the AR models are easily opened with one hand. Sure, their mechanics are silky smooth. Sure, the pocketclip is the essence of convenience. And sure, they're built from a caliber of stainless steel that simply commands respect. But what you might not expect is the innovative blend of die-cast aluminum and Softgrip® inserts in the handle. To a lot of guys, this is a must-have knife.

This is the knife that goes in the sheath that goes on the belt of the guy who's hell-bent on fending for himself. You better believe, the AR 3.25 is one savvy companion when the goal of the day is simply having your way. From its sleek drop point stainless steel blade to its formidable lock-back mechanism, the AR 3.25 is a prime example of how rugged and versatile a knife should look and perform.

Does it open easily with just one hand? You betcha it does. Does it fit your hand as if you yourself had been the mold? Yup. Does the die-cast aluminum work in tandem with the Softgrip® inserts to put special emphasis on comfort? That it does.

If this little lock-back beauty could walk, you can pretty much count on it having something of a swagger.

You're looking at a whole lotta knife for one that only weighs in at 3 ounces. Even more important, you're looking at a high carbon stainless steel blade that's as durable as the day is long...whether it's the fine edge or the serrated edge.

The Vector's handle is ergonomically molded from black glass filled nylon, which earns its keep by being strong yet light. Add to that, the Vector opens like a breeze using just one hand.

The liner locking mechanism is a study in utter reliability; safe and strong and secure. If you've been looking for a surefire clip folder, it's time to put your feet up and take a breather. You found it.

The Skin, Saw & Gut is new from Gerber. It's a brilliant concept that's bound to earn the praise of savvy hunters. Because it's a three-in-one masterpiece of knifemaking know-how. And among the smartest, most efficient instruments ever offered to big game hunters, whether they sit in trees or stalk the rimrocks.

You can zip your critter open with the separate gut hook tool. You can skin it with deft maneuverability using the fine edge blade. And you can make your way through the most forbidding bones with the serrated, blunt nose boning saw.

Our designers really earned their pay when they thought up the comfortable, non-slip, full-grip handle. It features our Softgrip® rubber inserts, which always delivers major comfort and maximum tactile response when there's some field dressing to be done. If you don't have one, you best change that situation.

Gerber knife designer Brad Parrish had been content to conceive knives in relative anonymity for decades. But when he did the first sketches of this particular knife, we had a feeling that he oughta have his name on it because bird hunters and fisherman alike were gonna wanna shake his hand. That's how big a deal the Parrish Bird really is.

Slim and nimble, the Parrish Bird is perfectly contoured and expertly balanced for the most delicate jobs. With a blade configured from hearty 440 stainless steel. And a secondary roto-lock for an even higher degree of safety for the user.

Notice the special touches Brad incorporated into the fiberglass reinforced nylon handle. Check out the texturing. And pay extra attention to the smooth "spoon" finish at the end; this translates in exceptional comfort. Nice work, Mr. Parrish. Very nice.

Maybe you're gonna take it hunting with you. Maybe you're just out living your life in a world where things need to be cut. Whatever you're up to, keep your Gator Fixed blade knife handy. It's famous for its patented Gator Grip handles, which has no peer when it comes to all-out grip.

The inner core of the handle is glass-filled nylon. Then we chemically bonded it to the outer surface, which is molded Santoprene® rubber...creating a soft, tactile grip over a very strong structure. All these years later, and no one's topped it.

Not everyone can have a firm grip on life. But just about anyone can have a firm grip on their knife. That is, if they happen to be the owner of a Gator II Folder: The latest, most ergonomically advanced version yet of Gerber's famous thermoplastic grip technology.

These remarkable grips fit in the hand so precisely, so comfortably, you'll be looking for something to cut. Plus, the built-in thumb rests combine with the notched spine grips for maximum control and agility. The stainless steel blade opens effortlessly with one hand, thanks to the strategically-located thumb hole.

The accompanying sheath is constructed of thermoformed ballistic nylon, and accommodates the optional gut hook. But what about the alligator skin texturing on the handle? Heck, we just threw that in to make sure you never lose your grip.

We've got a saying around Gerber: If a knife's worth making, it's worth making right. And that pretty much sums up the story behind our intrepid Lariat 3.5. A folding knife so tough, so dependable, even demanding professionals depend on it when things get dicey.

There's a lot to rely in the Lariat 3.5. Like unrelenting stainless steel in the blade. And a strategically textured handle, made of fiberglass reinforced nylon with Softgrip® inserts. And a discreet lanyard hole. And a ballistic nylon sheath.

Of course the best way to judge the merits of a knife such as this is to actually carry it in the field. So unless you plan to borrow one from a buddy, you'd best be making arrangements to get your own. You'll never regret stepping up to this kind of quality.

In the world of champagnes, magnum means big. In the world of folding hunting knives, Magnum L.S.T. means monstrous performance from a thoughtful design that is as light as champagne bubbles. So the "L" stands for light. The "S" stands for strong. And the "T" stands for toughness that can be compared to a bull in rut.

The basic design concept flows from Gerber's earlier success with the original L.S.T. pocketknives. With a lock-back blade securing system. Emphatic finger grip placements. Fine checkering in the handle for a can't-miss grip. And a stainless steel blade that holds its edge and brings home the bacon. Or venison. Or whatever...

Whether you go for the black handle (fine edge or serrated), or the fine edge Mossy Oak® Break-Up™, the Magnum L.S.T. is lot of knife for the money. And that's definitely something to celebrate.

Help is on the way. That's the feeling a person gets when they clip this hard-charging tactical folder into their pocket. Because the Gerber Firestorm is a maelstrom of get-outta-my-way performance that gets the job done completely and decisively.

It's a heavy-duty unit with a thick tanto blade rendered from stainless steel. The prominent finger guard keeps your digits out of harms way, and assists with easy opening in a hurry. The ergonomically conceived handle is stainless steel sandwiched between polycarbonate that's been sculpted and textured for maximum no-slip confidence.

The fearlesss Firestorm was designed by none other than Rick Hinderer. And it's earned the endorsement and recommendation of the National Tactical Officers Association; law enforcement professionals who do not suffer fools lightly, let alone gear that falters in the line of duty. Fortunately, the Firestorm fulfills its mission in big, bad way.

Now here's a knife with some mighty impressive roots. It was brought to market back in 1980 by none other than the man whose last name goes on each of our products. Pete Gerber was the first knife creator to envision the merits of using all-synthetic materials in the handle. He and knife designer Blackie Collins aimed to deliver lightweight performance that had not been seen before in a knife this all-out rugged.

The Gerber L.S.T. is the smoothest of operators. With a mechanical action that just feels good and satisfying when you open and close the blade, which happens to be made of 400 series stainless steel.

But let's get back to the topic of lightweight performance. The heaviest of the four legendary L.S.T. models musters a mere 1.2 ounces on the scales. Yet, when you feel that easy grip, there's no question that Pete Gerber's big idea is one for the ages.

If you're a fan of the classic folding hunter, you might as well step up to the caliber of the Magnum L.S.T. Jr. It's an unpretentious, get-'er-done sort of field knife that lays low when you're stalking or still hunting, then stands tall when you're dressing out your buck or bull.

Superior edge retention is mandatory with big game hunting. And the Magnum L.S.T. JR delivers it in a 2 3/4" blade made of 420 high carbon stainless steel. But it's still fairly easy to sharpen as needed. Choose from a fine edge in black or Mossy Oak® Break-Up™, or a serrated version in black.

Pronounced finger grips in the fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic handle work with crisp checkering to provide a high degree of tactile dexterity and long-term comfort. After all, sometimes those trophy critters can take a while to work up.

Gerber Legendary Blades is proud beyond description to introduce our first spring-assisted knife. The FAST Draw relies on our proprietary new blade opening concept—Forward Action Spring Technology—that's so lightning-quick, so pleasingly easy to open with just one hand, it's already drawing a lot of attention among knife folks everywhere.

The mechanism was created exclusively for us and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton.

Should you choose, you can open the FAST Draw in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. Or, if speed is the order of the day, you can simply trigger the blade's sudden release with your index finger. It's an exciting knife concept that certainly belongs in your collection.

The brainy design guys who came up with this concept must've thrown themselves a mighty big party when the work was done. Because the Nautilus is a mighty big breakthrough: A multi-tool with a built-in L.E.D. lighting system.

The multi-purpose L.E.D. offers four different lighting modes. Mode 1 is a traditional forward-facing light. Mode 2 shines a light on your work area. Mode 3 shines one light ahead and one light down to the ground. Mode 4 serves as a flashing emergency beacon.

And then there's the multi-tool itself, featuring the ergonomic pleasures of our SoftGrip™ handle inserts. Every tool is made of stainless steel, including the Fiskars® scissors. The entire suite of tools is held open safe and sound by our patented Saf.T.Plus™ locking system. Blade Show exhibitors awarded Nautilus their 2004 Most Innovative American Design Award.

Think big. Think tough. Think capable. Think versatile. Think about combining all those stalwart qualities into a king-of-the-road multi-tool that also features the ease and convenience of wrist-flick deployment. That's the story behind the Diesel Multi-Plier.

We're talking about an industrial-strength tool, here. The kind that pulls no punches and shrinks from no task...regardless of how tough it might be. The individual stainless steel tools are bigger than average, and more rugged than normal. And each one locks into place for maximum safety and security.

Maybe you could get by with a lesser tool. But why run the risk of all the cussing and fuming when you can own the multi-tool that rules the road. Diesel. The one tool you need when you can only carry one tool.

There are scissors. And then there is the Shortcut; a stubbornly strong mini-scissors accompanied by an array of functional, practical, stainless steel tools.

The Shortcut is a natural for your keychain or pocket or glovebox, because the closed length is a mere 2.5". Yet you can use it to take on all sorts of formidable tasks. You get screwdrivers. A bottle opener. A file. A knife blade. And quite a few additional tools that were built to get the job done. Whatever the job.

This much is for sure: The Shortcut was designed, engineered and constructed with the notion that when a person needs some serious scissors, they deserve to carry the very best. It's kind of amazing when a tool as small as this delivers as much performance as this.

There is justice in the world of Gerber multi-tools. Because while the Compact Sport may be the smaller, less formidable version of our Multi-Plier® 600 series, this Multi-Plier® 400 series compensates by being our most popular tool.

This is no small victory. After all, our ultra compact workhorse brings all the same functionality and rugged performance characteristics of its big brother. Thanks to its stainless steel hardware. And its Fiskars® scissors, which have the wherewithal to cut through seatbelts. And thanks, as well, to the patented design of its one-handed opening pliers.

The Compact is unmatched for strength, durability and ease of use. Our patented Saf.T.Plus™ locking system is your assurance that this little guy more than holds its own in the name of user safety. That is to say, your safety.

If you woke up this morning thinking you need to own the truest and purest form of Gerber innovation in a multi-tool, chances are you were dreaming of the Urban Legend. It's the tool with features to burn. Starting with patented replaceable tungsten carbide cutting inserts that easily have their way with wire and the like.

Another standout feature of the Urban Legend is our ergonomically contoured aluminum handles, with the extra gripping power of tactile rubber inserts. This maximizes your comfort as well as your control.

There are a total of nine stainless steel tools on the Urban Legend. Which is more than enough to tackle the tasks that come your way. And by the way, those needlenose pliers are spring-loaded for easy opening. A handy ballistic nylon sheath is included.

If we tell you that this engineering masterpiece was inspired by the bridges of Portland, Oregon—we've got more than our share, here—don't make the mistake of thinking that Gerber's gotten all misty-eyed and romantic. On the contrary, the Suspension has all the down-and-dirty performance characteristics a tough guy would expect.

This is a classic workhorse with spring-loaded pliers, our patented Saf.T.Plus™ component locking system, a ballistic nylon sheath, and the very same structural integrity that goes into every Gerber tool.

Oh sure, it's a sleek looking son-of-gun. And the open-frame configuration is something of a break-though where the industry is concerned. But just because it's got nice lines, there's no reason you can't use it in some pretty ugly situations. In fact, we dare ya.

The great thing about tool kits is that they have a way of making work seem more like fun. And that's probably because the completeness and versatility of kits typically increases your chances of a satisfying end result. This is certainly the case with the Gerber Multi-Plier® Tool Kit.

You can pump up the functionality of your 600 series or 400 series tools by adding on this collection of bits and the requisite adapter. You get three sizes of flathead screwdriver bits, and three sizes of Philips head bits. So you're well prepared to take on whatever comes at you.

Honestly, this Tool Kit is a pretty smart solution if you're looking to maximize the performance of your Multi-Plier, while still maintaining a high level of strength, reliability and compactness.

Just because a tactical professional wants to carry a pocketknife, it doesn't mean that knife can come with some frickin' formidable performance credentials. Witness the Applegate-Fairbairn Mini Covert. Signed by the designers and crafted to take crap from no one, this discreet folder is a real powerhouse.

Like its bigger brethren in the Applegate-Fairbairn line, the Mini Covert is all business. Agility. Speed. Balance. Control. Toughness. These are the traits that help make the Mini Covert a coveted piece of optional equipment.

High carbon stainless steel makes the blade indisputably capable. Textured, fiberglass filled nylon makes the handle absolutely reliable, and comfortable in your grasp. Clip it securely in your pocket, mister, and you're ready to roll.

As legacies go, a man could do worse than being survived by the famous knife he designed. Such is the case with the late Colonel Rex Applegate. He was one of this proud nation's top authorities on close-quarters combat in particular, and fighting knives in general. The Applegate-Fairbairn Covert stands with the Applegate-Fairbairn Combat as lasting symbols of the colonel's dedication, expertise, and sense of purpose.

It should come as no surprise that these two knives are known internationally as best-of-class among folding tactical knives. They've rightfully earned a reputation for unmatched strength, durability and balance.

More than that, tactical professionals have high regard for the high carbon stainless steel blade. As well as the glass-filled nylon handles, and the patented rotolock. The Combat has the added convenience of a hearty pocket clip.

Okay, it might be a stretch to refer to your average day as anything even remotely like a crusade. But that doesn't mean there aren't missions to be accomplished, and obstacles to be overcome. And that's why we created the Crusader.

Our knife designers were inspired to engineer a clip folding knife that provides failsafe performance in the field. From its textured handle that guarantees an effortless grip, to its hearty stainless steel pocket clip, to its 400 series stainless steel blade, to its one-handed opening function.

Whether your choose the fine edge or the serrated edge, the Crusader brings home the spoils of determined knifemaking craftsmanship. Make no mistake. This is a knife you can count on to fight the good fight for years to come. All knives should be so valiant.

In a world where so many knives strive to be big and sleek, the Fatty stands tall as a unique alternative. With a 2.28" stainless steel blade that's stout and husky, a 3.5" handle that hides inside your hand, and a super-tactile feel that comes as a result of our SoftGrip handle material and precision checkering.

A strategically placed thumbstud makes it easy to open the Fatty with just one hand. The lock-back mechanism allows for safe, smooth, reliable operation every time. The stainless steel pocket clip is the epitome of convenience.

The Fatty is a good fit for folks who favor maximum strength, but don't necessarily want to carry anything with bulk. It's a great all-around knife for the RV, truck or car. Easy to stow. Easy to deploy. Easy to appreciate.

Even a quick glance out of the corner of your eye will convince you that this is no ordinary tactical knife. You can tell by the dramatic, take-no-prisoners profile that the Kiowa—yes, it's named after that attack helicopter—is a knife to be reckoned with. Owing to its 3" tanto blade in matte black. Its gnarly serrated section for sawing. And its handy lanyard hole for easy attachment.

The handle is aggressively sculpted of glass filled nylon, with skateboard tape inserts for extra control in tough scenarios. Finger positions are ideally configured for ergonomic efficiency and comfort in multiple defensive postures.

As hard-charging folders go, a guy can do a whole lot worse than the pocket clip Kiowa. Question is, why the devil would you accept less?

One of the most impressive things about cutting-edge architecture is when a structure captures attention and earns praise as much for how it looks as for what it does. So it is with the Truss. A knife that brings to bear a design sensibility rarely seen in the world of clip folding knives. Sleek. Graceful. Dramatic. And yet, at the end of the day, it's also undeniably practical.

The Truss is the model of strength. With a frame-lock handle that'll never fail. And with a level of precision engineering that inspires pure confidence.

Choose the shorter Truss 2.0 or the longer Truss 2.5. Then choose between the fine edge option, or the serrated edge version. No matter your preference, you're getting a truly distinctive stainless steel knife.

Down behind enemy lines? Left to fend for yourself? These are the scenarios that inspired the LMF II. Former military man, Jeff Freeman led the charge to engineer this fearless new 10" survival knife. And we field-tested with the troops.

This knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage. Or sever a seat belt. Or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter.

The over-molded handle successfully limits blistering. There is complete separation between the tang and butt cap, so the knife absorbs the shocks from hammering and prevents the shocks of electricity.
