Air Frame
Gerber Legendary Blades has ceased production of the Air Frame™. A total of 1,800 pieces were produced. Due to the nature of the design it became impossible to produce the knife at the original price and have it meet Gerber's quality standards. Because of the great response to the Air Frame, Gerber has produced a limited 1,000 piece run of Air Frame with machined aluminum handles. All other components are the same as the original Air Frame. Gerber has already sold out of these knives. Check with your local knife dealer, favorite catalog, or internet retailer for availability.
Aluminum Air Frame
Designed by artist and custom knifemaker William Harsey, the Air Frame™ boasts innovation in handle design, uses the finest materials available, and is produced with flawless craftsmanship. Only 1000 pieces will be produced, with an etch to identify the knife as one of the 1000. The Air Frame™' has aluminum handles, anodized in a silver-gray color, 3.875" clip point blade made from 154CM stainless steel, available with a plain edge or partially serrated edge, and are heat treated to 59-61c, titanium liner and pocket clip. All fastening hardware and pivot points are machined stainless steel.
Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder
Designed by the Legendary Colonel Rex Applegate, a man who knew as much as anybody about close quarters combat, these knives embody his vision of a folding combat knife. Gerber's Applegate-Fairbairn® line of knives are one handed opening, liner lock knives ideal for many situations. The Applegate-Fairbairn® Combat Folder has a double beveled blade measuring 4-1/2 inches. It is also available in a single edge version. Both knives come with a ballistic cloth sheath.
Applegate-Fairbairn Covert Folder
The Covert™ is a 3/4 version of the Combat Folder . Designed for inconspicuous carry, the Covert™ has a reversible stainless steel pocket clip. With an opening stud on both sides, this knife is easily adapted to for left-handed use. The blade is made from ATS-34 stainless steel. The Covert™ also is the first product to incorporate the Interlock, a Gerber exclusive. This is a safety that firmly locks the liner in place, preventing accidental unlocking of the blade.
LTR™
The LTR™ features precision machined aluminum handles. Anodized either red or blue, the handles are slim in profile, and easily clip inside a pants pocket. The clip is stainless spring steel for optimum performance. It also features a drop point blade made from high carbon stainless steel. Thumb studs provide easy one-handed opening for either right or left handed users. The blade solidly locks in place with the time proven linerlock system made of stainless steel.
Gator
Gerber's handle technology uses Soft Kraton® rubber molded around and through a Zytel® frame, forming a one piece handle that is durable, yet soft and comfortable to grip and use, even when wet. Unlike many other factory knives, Gerber® uses pivot pins and fasteners that are precision machined rather than wire extruded. This makes for a much tougher, longer lasting knife. The Gerber® Gator® is available with a 3.750" drop point blade made from ATS-34 stainless steel.
E-Z-Out Series
The handles feature molded Kraton® rubber inserts, assisting one-handed opening, as well as providing a positive and comfortable grip during use. The pocket clip is stainless steel, removable and replaceable. The low profile oval hole in the blade allows one-handed opening, yet keeps the blade shape unobtrusive for everyday use. Blade is 3.5" made out of ATS-34 steel.
Air Ranger
Designed by William Harsey, the handle is made from aluminum. Anodized in a dark green, the handle is also checkered like a gun stock. The belt/pocket clip on the Air Ranger™ is removable for a slimmer profile if so desired. The handle incorporates a single liner as the lock. Made from stainless steel, the liner springs into place upon opening the blade, locking it open and ready for use. Air Ranger™ has a 3.2" clip point blade made from high carbon stainless steel, with a thumb stud on both sides for easy right or left one-handed opening. Blades are available with a plain edge or partially serrated edge, and are heat-treated to 57-59Rc. The blade has a bead blast finish. Available with color handles as well.

AR 3.00
The handle is made from aircraft grade aluminum, and has Kraton® rubber inserts on the side and on the top that are molded through the aluminum.
