Gerber Assert Folding Knife Blue 2.98 Inch Plain Stonewash Clip Point G1075373

The Gerber Assert Blue is built for those who believe their everyday carry folding knife should be light, fast, and made to perform without compromise. Proudly made in the USA, this sleek manual folder blends cutting-edge materials with a refined, minimalist design that punches well above its weight class. Whether you're opening boxes at work, hitting the trail, or just need a blade that disappears in the pocket until duty calls, the Assert has your back.

The 2.98-inch clip point blade is crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It’s a top-tier performer in a world of good steels, and the stonewash finish only adds to its appeal—giving the blade a rugged look that hides wear and enhances durability. With its plain edge and versatile profile, the Assert handles fine detail work as confidently as it does tougher cutting jobs.

The blade opens smoothly and efficiently using ambidextrous thumb studs, allowing for quick one-handed deployment whether you're right- or left-handed. The crossbar lock ensures a secure lockup with minimal effort, offering a level of safety and simplicity that seasoned knife users will appreciate. It’s intuitive, durable, and built for repeated use in demanding conditions.

At just 1.87 ounces, the Gerber Assert is remarkably lightweight without giving up the feel of a serious tool. Its blue polymer handle offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip with a touch of personality that stands out in a sea of black and gray. Despite its light build, the handle feels strong and ready for everyday tasks, making this knife a trusted part of your carry gear.

Measuring 3.97 inches closed and 6.95 inches overall, the Assert hits that sweet spot between compact carry and full-hand utility. The .12-inch blade thickness adds to the knife’s agile performance, giving it just enough backbone to handle heavier cuts without sacrificing slicing precision. The tip-up pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible in your pocket, while a built-in lanyard hole offers added carry options for those who like to customize their gear.
