The Gator is one of the best folding knives you can own. Its handle design, mechanics and assembly combine to make it superior to any other knife in its class. Anyone who needs a full size folding knife won't find a better value. The blade is made from high carbon stainless steel. Soft Kraton rubber is molded around and through a Zytel frame, forming a one piece handle that is more durable than a metal knife handle, yet soft and comfortable to grip and use, even when wet. Comes with a ballistic nylon sheath.
