SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Gerber Ayako Silver is a sleek and modern everyday carry folding knife that blends Japanese-inspired design with rugged practicality. With its streamlined profile, durable materials, and smooth deployment, this manual folder is built to handle daily cutting tasks with ease while standing out as a stylish addition to any collection.
Featuring a 3.5-inch tanto blade made from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, the Ayako delivers a strong, precise edge ideal for piercing, slicing, and fine cutting work. The tanto shape enhances tip strength, making it a great choice for tasks that require controlled puncturing or prying. Finished with a black oxide coating, the blade resists corrosion and reduces glare, while also adding a stealthy, tactical look.
Designed for versatility and ease of use, the Ayako offers two ways to deploy the blade: a blade flipper for quick, one-handed action and a thumb hole for a more controlled opening. No matter which method you prefer, the framelock ensures the blade stays securely in place during use, giving you confidence with every cut.
The silver-colored aluminum and stainless steel handle strikes the perfect balance between lightweight comfort and sturdy durability. The clean, minimalist design gives the knife a sophisticated aesthetic, while the smooth contours provide a comfortable grip. Whether you’re using it for extended cutting tasks or quick, on-the-go jobs, the Ayako feels great in hand and carries effortlessly.
For convenient everyday carry, the black tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife secure and within easy reach. At 4.6 inches closed and 8.1 inches overall, it’s compact enough to fit comfortably in your pocket yet large enough to handle tough cutting tasks. Weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Ayako is light enough for all-day carry without adding unnecessary bulk.
Gerber has long been known for crafting reliable, innovative knives, and the Ayako is no exception. Whether you need a dependable folder for daily utility, a stylish knife for your collection, or a tough blade for outdoor adventures, this knife is up to the challenge. It combines modern materials, functional design, and an eye-catching look to create a knife that’s as practical as it is striking.
