Gerber's Silver Trident Combat Knife is more than a symbol of America's top Special Ops personnel. It's living proof that guys who handle our nation's nastier chores will go through whatever kind of hell is necessary, so long as they have the best gear.

The Silver Trident has the most technically advanced handle ever engineered on a combat knife. It's resistant to heat, UV light and chemicals. The handle is a co-mold of two versions of the material called Hytrel. Inside, there's a rock-hard version for strength. Outside, there's the soft, textured version for extreme grip control. Use the stainless steel butt cap as a hammer.

The double-edged clip point blade is 154C stainless steel, heat-treated to achieve a hardness rating of HRC 59-61. That means you get excellent edge retention, strength and flexibility. The non-reflective black blade limits glare and corrosion.
