Freemanâ„¢  Folder Fine Edge, Drop Point by Gerber Knives

Its not hard to imagine that winning awards for their work on the Freeman Folder would make our knife designers feel pretty good. And they do, because they won the 2004 IWA "International Knife Award." But ask them about whats truly satisfying about their creations—the drop point or the gut hook—and the answer has more to do with offering regular guys a hunting knife that'll just flat-out get the job done.

Our designers really thought this one through. With features like an open spine that permits easy clean-ups, a true finger guard, grip-enhancing grooves that double as indexing indicators, a wide lanyard opening, and our ever-popular lacquered pear handle grips. And then there's the fact that the Freeman Folder looks mighty good, whether its in the field or on the mantle.
