[Gerber] Flatiron G10, 30-003476

The blade has a rough stonewashed finish and is made from 7Cr17MoV-steel. A decent and easy to sharpen type of steel. The Gerber Flatiron is easy to open with the elongated thumb hole. The finger groove at the start of the blade gives you a lot of control and ensures that your index finger doesn't accidentally slide forward as you use the knife. Better safe than sorry!

The handle is made from stainless steel and G10. The rough surface of the G10 scales supplies you with enough grip to make sure the knife won't easily from your hand during use. When opened the blade is locked by a robust framelock mechanism. An interesting detail is the enormous overtravel stop. This prevents that the lockbar is pushed too far from the frame as you unlock it. The overtravel stop is larger than average and enhanced with a subtle elevation. As such your fingers rest on the overtravel-stop, and not on the lockbar. This makes opening the Flatiron a lot easier. The wide, square pocket clip is also very unique and ensures that you can comfortably attach the knife to your pocket.

Again Gerber demonstrates that they can produce amazing knives within this very appealing budget-segment. The Gerber Flatiron is a strong knife that is meant to be used!
