Gerber just released another USA made folder with premium materials. The Assert is a handy EDC sized knife with a 2.98 inch blade which should make it okay to carry in all but the most draconian places (I’m looking at you Chicago). It has an S30V blade and comes with grey, green of black textured nylon handles, and black oxide, stone washed or satin blades. From some of their media it looks like other colors may be coming as well, or available as custom offerings. The Assert has clean lines and some nice aesthetic touches like the contrasting lock and adjustable thumb studs. It’s set up for tip up carry with a reversible deep carry pocket clip. Weight is only 1.87 ounces too. MSRP runs between $175.00 and $180 depending on finish choices. Check out the full specs below:
