The Gerber US1 is an honor and result of the long-term development and improvement of simple folding knives manufactured by Gerber for several decades. Gerber US1 is a great practical knife for everyday use.
The blade of the knife is made of 420HC steel, which holds the blade well and is easy to sharpen. The plain edge blade of the knife is undoubtedly the most popular choice when it comes to the type of blade. After opening, the blade is secured with a lock back.
The composite handle is made of nylon filled with glass fibers. As a result, the material combination is lighter and stronger than it would be with nylon alone. In addition, the handle is coated with a rubber textured layer for maximum security and stability when using the knife. It also provides a solid finger choil for safe and ergonomic grip when handling the knife.
