Gerber Releases the Assert, a Premium Lightweight EDC Folding Knife

Want a compact folding knife to add to your EDC loadout or pack in your camping gear? The American-made Gerber Assert is definitely one of the best new folders to consider.

Just under 7 inches long with a nearly 3-inch blade, it’s lightweight (less than 2 ounces) but one of the best-looking and most ergonomically efficient folding knives around.

The S30V blade can withstand hardcore use while still maintaining a surprisingly sharp edge, and the drop point makes it useful for everything from skinning to gutting to slicing to stripping kindling.

Designed for ambidextrous use, you’ll love how nicely the handle fits in your hand and how much grip the integrated scales offer. Thanks to the lanyard hole, you can attach it to your gear for easy carrying.
