The pocketknife is perhaps one of the most useful things ever created by man. With over 70 years of making legendary knives under its belt, Gerber knows a little something about creating knives that perform when needed. The Gerber Tactical Evo Large Tanto takes the popular Evo series of knives and fine-tunes it for even heavier duty. The result is a knife that is as sturdy and lightweight as it is practical. The Evo Large is designed to be carried with you 365 days a year. For that to be a reality, the knife has to blend all its ingredients just so. The Evo Large boasts the largest blade in the legendary Evo family. It’s partially serrated for tearing through rope, cord or hide, and is made of surgical grade stainless steel coated with black titanium to cut down on reflectivity and add a layer of corrosion resistance. When you’re out in the field, you want a knife that is up for any task but won’t weigh you down. The Evo Large weighs a meager 3 ounces, but don’t let its light weight fool you it’s a heavy duty performer. Precision cutouts in the handle reduce excess weight while providing excellent grip and durability. It features a low-rise pocket clip to keep it close at hand when carried in your pocket. A pocketknife is of little use if you can’t get the blade open quickly and easily. With the flip of an index finger, this knife can be opened in a flash. A low-profile liner lock makes for easy one-handed closing as well.
