Designed by the Legendary Colonel Rex Applegate, a man who knew as much as anybody about close quarters combat, these knives embody his vision of a folding combat knife. Gerber's Applegate-Fairbairn line of knives are one handed opening, liner lock knives ideal for many situations. The Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder has a double beveled blade measuring a 4 1/2 inches. It is also available in a single edge version. Both knives come with a ballistic cloth sheath. The Covert is a 3/4 version of the Combat Folder. Designed for inconspicuous carry, the Covert has a reversible stainless steel pocket clip. With an opening stud on both sides, this knife is easily adapted for left handed use. The blade is made from ATS-34 stainless steel. The Covert also is the first production knife to incorporate the Interlock, a Gerber exclusive. This is a safety that firmly locks in the liner place, preventing accidental unlocking of the blade. All the Gerber's Applegate-Fairbairn knives are made in the U.S.A., and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Design patent #0, 373, 521.
