Gerber StrongArm Fixed Blade Knife | 4.8" Plain Edge | Black | USA

Built for the field. Trusted in the worst conditions. The Gerber StrongArm Fixed Blade Knife in Black with Plain Edge is the rugged, American-made tactical and survival knife that has earned its place as one of the most recommended fixed blade knives among military operators, survival instructors, and outdoor professionals worldwide.

The 4.8-inch full-tang blade is made from 420HC high-carbon stainless steel with a ceramic coating that provides exceptional corrosion resistance and a non-reflective matte black finish — critical for covert field operations and low-visibility environments. The plain edge geometry delivers clean, controlled cuts ideal for food preparation, fire starting, shelter building, and general campsite tasks, while the 420HC steel's balance of toughness and sharpness retention makes it easy to re-sharpen in the field. Full-tang construction means the blade extends through the entire length of the handle, providing the structural integrity needed for hard use including batoning, prying, and choking up on the blade. The rubberized diamond-texture handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip in all weather conditions.

Includes multi-position MOLLE-compatible nylon sheath. Made in Portland, Oregon, USA. Backed by Gerber's lifetime warranty.
