Bamboo-Lined Folding Knives

Gerber's New Quadrant Pocket Knife is Sturdy Yet Compact

— July 3, 2019 — Lifestyle
Known for creating high-end yet discreet knives and other outdoors necessities, Gerber's latest product the Quadrant Pocket Knife offers both functionality and fashion.

The knife features a unique bamboo handle that outlines a classic sheepsfoot blade shaping, giving the handle a stylish look as well as user comfort. The flip-open mechanism can be used for instant access to the blade, with a secure lock for safety purposes.

By using a satin finish on the blade, the Quadrant Pocket Knife ensures a long life-span and can be used both indoors and outdoors. The new modern knife from Gerber is available online now for $34, with the brand's signature product guarantee.
