Gerber Prodigy Fixed Blade Knife Black 420HC Stainless Steel
Gerber
The Prodigy fixed blade knife is a high-quality knife designed by Gerber's Jeff Freeman, who also engineered the award-winning LMF II. Made with black oxide coated U.S. 420HC stainless steel, the full tang blade is both durable and reliable. The knife features ergonomic over-molded rubber handles that provide a soft and comfortable grip, ensuring security in all conditions. It is also MIRS compliant, meeting the necessary standards. The sheath is designed to be practical and secure, with a friction-release thumb lock for added safety. It also includes non-detection features to prevent unwanted attention. The knife's noise is dampened by a molded softgrip coating, which is also MIRS compliant, along with the ballistic nylon material used in the sheath. Additionally, the knife is MOLLE compatible and comes with a leg strap and two extra attachment straps for enhanced security.
