Portland, OR - With over sixty years manufacturing quality knives, Gerber recognizes the benefits of professional experience. The need for experience is precisely why Gerber chose renown knife designer Ernie Emerson to design a quality, durable and rugged automatic knife for military and law enforcement personnel. The Gerber-Emerson Alliance™ knife is the end result of this collaboration. The black oxidized blade is forged from the finest 154 CM steel with a Rockwell hardness of 59 – 60 thus giving it strong edge retaining qualities. The handle, top grade machined 6061 – T6 aluminum, is finished in black. The blade spring is 315 stainless steel. It is available in fine edge or serrated. The materials throughout this knife were chosen because of their quality and more importantly…their durability. When their life may depend on it...professionals choose Gerber Legendary Blades as their manufacturer of choice.
