Just because a tactical professional wants to carry a pocketknife, it doesn't mean that knife can come with some frickin' formidable performance credentials. Witness the Applegate-Fairbairn Mini Covert. Signed by the designers and crafted to take crap from no one, this discreet folder is a real powerhouse.

Like its bigger brethren in the Applegate-Fairbairn line, the Mini Covert is all business. Agility. Speed. Balance. Control. Toughness. These are the traits that help make the Mini Covert a coveted piece of optional equipment.

High carbon stainless steel makes the blade indisputably capable. Textured, fiberglass filled nylon makes the handle absolutely reliable, and comfortable in your grasp. Clip it securely in your pocket, mister, and you're ready to roll.

As legacies go, a man could do worse than being survived by the knife he designed. Such is the case with the late Colonel Rex Applegate who was one of this nations top authorities on close-quarters combat. The Applegate-Fairbairn Mini Covert stands with the Covert & Combat as lasting symbols of the Colonels dedication, expertise, and sense of purpose.

It should come as no surprise that these knives are known internationally as best-of-class among folding tactical knives. They have rightfully earned a reputation for unmatched strength, durability and balance. More than that, tactical professionals have high regard for the high-carbon stainless steel blade. The glass-filled nylon handles. The Covert and Combat have the patented roto-lock system.

Whether you choose the special operations black or the advanced camouflage green handles, they all come with the added convenience of a hearty pocket clip—keeping the knife within easy reach.

Part of the legend of the Gerber name is our ever-expanding list of special use knives. The E-Z Out Rescue is a prime example. Designed for scenarios when you need to cut without risk of poking or puncturing adjacent surfaces—such as someone's flesh—this knife can be seen clipped on the pockets of search & rescue types.

The blunt tip will do no harm. Yet the wickedly serrated blade is gonna cut through stuff like crazy. It's fast, efficient, effective, and measures 3.51" from hilt to tip.

The bright yellow handle is made of super-strong thermoplastic that's reinforced with fiberglass. And those black rubber inserts you see? That's a material called Kraton®, which we engineered in for extra gripping performance.

It took a fire fighter with a genius for knife design to conceive this feature-rich rescue knife. And Rick Hinderer did himself proud. He?s integrated some of the most important features a fire fighter will need. Even while wearing turn-out gloves, using this knife will not be an issue. The knife has larger, beefier features and mechanisms built-in. This is no ordinary rescue knife

Gerber Legendary Blades is proud beyond description to introduce our first spring-assisted knife. The FAST Draw relies on our proprietary new blade opening concept—Forward Action Spring Technology—that's so lightning-quick, so pleasingly easy to open with just one hand, it's already drawing a lot of attention among knife folks everywhere.

The mechanism was created exclusively for us and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton.

Should you choose, you can open the FAST Draw in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. Or, if speed is the order of the day, you can simply trigger the blade's sudden release with your index finger. It's an exciting knife concept that certainly belongs in your collection.

Okay, so the name Torch sounds a lot like an action hero from the movies. But make no mistake, this tactical powerhouse is all business, with strength and durability to burn. It's got a heavy-duty 2.6" stainless steel blade with serrations, and a carry weight of just over 3 ounces. It can be opened in a flash using just one hand.

And who's the mastermind behind the Torch? None other than Rick Hinderer, a man with some pretty badass knifemaking credentials. Just clip this baby into your pocket, and you're ready for whatever shift or detail brings.

And by the way, the name Torch is inspired by those flame-textured inlays in the super-nimble grip.

Help is on the way. That's the feeling a person gets when they clip this hard-charging tactical folder into their pocket. Because the Gerber Firestorm is a maelstrom of get-outta-my-way performance that gets the job done completely and decisively.

It's a heavy-duty unit with a thick tanto blade rendered from stainless steel. The prominent finger guard keeps your digits out of harms way, and assists with easy opening in a hurry. The ergonomically conceived handle is stainless steel sandwiched between polycarbonate that's been sculpted and textured for maximum no-slip confidence.

The fearlesss Firestorm was designed by none other than Rick Hinderer. And it's earned the endorsement and recommendation of the National Tactical Officers Association; law enforcement professionals who do not suffer fools lightly, let alone gear that falters in the line of duty. Fortunately, the Firestorm fulfills its mission in big, bad way.

Introducing a clip folder for knife people who prefer the look of a straight spine; the profile reveals a "seamless" design that begins at the back of the blade and continues along the length of the upper edge of the handle. In fact, the EVO and EVO JR. actually have a little bit of the dagger in them.

Another aesthetic design touch is the series of seven slanting oval openings in the anodized aluminum handle. They serve to make these knives both organic and aggressive. Functionally, the oval openings further reduce the overall weight of these knives to near nothingness.

The blades are constructed of 440 stainless steel that is coated with titanium nitride for added corrosion resistance. There's a thumb stud for easy one-handed opening. And, there's an integral finger guard for an extra measure of safety. Bottom line? You'd do well to own such a highly evolved knife.

In the world of champagnes, magnum means big. In the world of folding hunting knives, Magnum L.S.T. means monstrous performance from a thoughtful design that is as light as champagne bubbles. So the "L" stands for light. The "S" stands for strong. And the "T" stands for toughness that can be compared to a bull in rut.

The basic design concept flows from Gerber's earlier success with the original L.S.T. pocketknives. With a lock-back blade securing system. Emphatic finger grip placements. Fine checkering in the handle for a can't-miss grip. And a stainless steel blade that holds its edge and brings home the bacon. Or venison. Or whatever...

Whether you go for the black handle (fine edge or serrated), or the fine edge Mossy Oak® Break-Up™, the Magnum L.S.T. is lot of knife for the money. And that's definitely something to celebrate.
