Gerber Exo-Mod Fixed Blade Knife Drop Point Blade Orange Handle G1796

The Gerber Exo-Mod Drop Point Orange is built for hunters, backcountry explorers, and anyone who values maximum performance with minimum bulk. At just 2.6 ounces and under 9" overall, it's engineered around Gerber’s Exo-Mod philosophy: strip excess weight, keep full utility, and deliver professional-level cutting performance in a tool you’ll actually carry. This isn’t a survival fantasy piece — it’s a real-world work knife designed to disappear on your belt until you need it.

Its 3.5" drop point blade is forged from trustworthy 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and easy field sharpening. The stonewashed finish helps mask use marks while reducing glare — a quiet advantage in hunting environments. The drop point profile gives you a razor-precise tip for detail work, while maintaining enough belly for skinning, slicing, and clean, efficient draw cuts. It’s a classic shape because it flat-out works.

The skeletonized tang keeps the weight down without sacrificing durability, and the bright orange rubber handle scales lock securely into the frame for a confident grip, even when slick or gloved. The texture and color both serve purpose — easy to index, hard to lose, built to work in the worst conditions. The grip profile is ambidextrous, neutral, and purposefully lean — zero nonsense, all control.

Included is a black polymer belt sheath that carries light and locks in tight. It’s compact, rugged, and optimized for fast deployment while staying silent and slim against your body or pack strap. The retention is tuned for movement, not display-case perfection — exactly what you want when pushing through brush or climbing rough terrain.

Whether riding as your primary field blade or serving as a lightweight backup to a larger fixed blade, the Exo-Mod is built for people who actually care about ounces. It excels in processing tasks, utility chores around camp, and every cutting job where clean, reliable performance matters more than flash. Gerber clearly designed this for serious use — and it shows in every decision.
