Gerber, an American company, is always staying on the leading edge of pocket knife design. The new knife owners want the high-tech look. The tactical tool. The cool-looking cutter.

Here are 3 of the new engraved Gerber knives that won’t disappoint today’s knife fans.

  1. Instant Knife 752. Assisted-opening mechanism in a pocket knife is a quick and safe way to single-handedly open your knife. If you are hanging in a tree on your parachute, and one hand is holding on for life, your other hand can open and operate this knife.

  2. Paralite Champagne 1345. This one has a see-through handle that shows off the colorful liner lock. This design reduces the weight of it, so you don’t mind carrying it every day.

  3. STL 2.0 41122. Black on black is very popular now. It has that mysterious look, and a very light weight. The blade is thin but strong, to keep the weight of this new knife under control.

What is the Best Pocket Knife of All Time?

How do you choose the best pocket knife? Some of the new tactical knives have really cool designs. But, since they don’t have a history of popularity, they can’t be considered in this contest. They may be popular now, but that might be short-lived.

The winner must have a history of popularity for many years. How about 1964? If a knife style was invented in that year, like the Buck 110 Folding Hunter, would that be a long enough history? What about the 1600’s? That time frame would certainly be a long enough history. That’s 400 years, or 4 centuries. If a pocket knife style is still as popular now, as it was 400 years ago, that would make it the winner. So that’s how I came up with the winning knife. If you don’t agree, please post your comments here.

I believe the Best Pocket Knife of All Time is the Barlow Knife. Once used by George Washington, and Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.

Buck Knives have been around since 1902. The style of knife that you think of when you hear the word Buck is the model 110 Folding Hunter shown here. Or maybe you would think of the non-folding hunting knife like the Buck® Kalinga, also shown here. Either way, you will be surprised at what Buck came up with recently. The tide of popularity in knives has been going toward the tactical-looking knives. So the leaders at Buck didn’t want to miss the boat on this. They came up with some new models recently in the tactical area.

The Squire is not a new knife this year, but it is popular because of it’s medium size. It is similar to the “flagship” of Buck, the 110 Folding Hunter Knife, only a little smaller. Made in the USA.
