Gerber® has been manufacturing survival knives for the US military since 1968. The StrongArm fixed blade knife is a continuation of a range of quality and strong knives designed for combat and survival. The knife offers many different applications, whether on duty or in leisure activities.
The blade of the StrongArm knife is made of rich 420HC carbon steel. The blade has a full tang construction, so the knife is very strong, reliable and can withstand even harsher handling. Due to its shape, the blade falls between the clip point knives. The black ceramic surface protects the blade, significantly reduces corrosion and thus prolongs the life of the knife. In addition, the knife and its user escape the attention of enemies or uninvited "guests" - the black surface does not dazzle.
The blade has a partially-serrated edge. The serrated part cuts fibrous and tough materials well, it is ideal, for example, for cutting cables, ropes, seat belts etc.
Glass fiber reinforced nylon became the material for the knife handle. The handle is rubberized, which together with the anti-slip texture of the diamond structure, provides a secure grip and safety when working with the knife.
The safety of the user is also secured by a double-sided guard, which is part of the handle and which prevents injuries by slipping your fingers on the blade. At the end of the handle there is a lanyard hole.
The conspicuous striking pommel located at the end of the handle will easily pierce even hard surfaces such as glass, so the knife will find its use in rescue operations.
The sheath is as important as the knife itself. StrongArm is supplied with a modular sheath that allows mounting on MOLLE compatible systems, classically on a belt (vertical, drop-leg) or horizontally on a standard 1.75 ”wide service belt (= approx. 4.5 cm). The sheath has a snap-in fastening strap , which fastens around the handle and holds the knife in place.
