The Gerber Gator is a robust pocket knife with clip point blade and smooth edge. Designed and produced in Portland, Oregon, USA. Like the reptile of the same name this pocket knife will function regardless of the weather. Whether it is wet or dry. It is, after all, for a reason that the first Gator was listed as the 'Most innovative knife of the year' at the 1991 Blade Show in Georgia, USA. Decades later the Gator pocket knife continues to convince people all over the world. This knife is made to be used, and you notice it.
