As Gerber's first assisted opening knife produced, this knife inspired innovation and helped to define a brand. The lightning-quick opening mechanism is still employed today, yet the classic, functional design is all its own. This Gerber G7162 has a plain edge design with black plastic handle for easy grip and frame lock for safety. It also features ambidextrous thumb studs so that this pocket knife can fit in any hand. This knife measures at an overall length of 7.13 inches (4.25 inches when closed) and a blade length of 2.99 inches.
