This Gerber Winchester lock-blade folding knife measures 7 inches overall, with a 3-inch stainless steel blade. A size like this allows for easy, comfortable pocket carry, but a large enough size blade that can take care of almost any task. The combo edge, with serrations near the base of the blade, is great for cutting through a variety materials – a nice feature to have on your everyday carry knife. This blade has a clip point with a false edge that can be sharpened or left un-sharpened. A false edge reduces the cross sectional area of the point without sacrificing too much thickness or strength, and makes the blade more pointed for improved thrusting insertion. A thumb stud allows for quick and simple one-handed opening..
The handle of this Gerber Winchester is made of stainless steel with a polished wood inlay. It is a handle design that’s very pleasing on the eyes – the wood grain contrasts nicely against the steel for a truly quality appearance – and one that, with proper care, will last for a long time. The Winchester is one of Gerber’s most popular knives for a reason. The combination of a trustworthy blade and attractive style means that the owner will get the best knife for a very reasonable price.
