The automatic opening Gerber-Emerson Alliance's 3.5 black oxidized blade is forged from the finest 154 CM steel with a Rockwell hardness of 59 60 thus giving it strong edge retaining qualities. The exotic-looking handle is machined out of 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, which is as hard as it is tactile. And its damned tactile.

The materials throughout this knife were chosen because of their quality and more importantlytheir durability. When their life may depend on it..professionals choose Gerber Knives!
