New Gerber Knives

[Jape]

Just saw the video from Randy about the new Gerber knives and am interested. I have used an outdoor edge replaceable blade knife the past 5 years and have loved it. However, it is difficult to use around the skull and neck and I prefer not to carry another knife. Looks like the Gerber serrated blade may just do the trick. It will be interesting to see how durable it is at the shows this year. It also looks like the Gerber EBS is larger than what I currently have so not sure if I will like that or not.

Saw the post on instagram yesterday. Pretty neat design. Might have to give one a whirl!

I want to say I read they'll be available spring of 2020, so probably in a couple months.

I'm going to get the fixed blade version. It has some good features.

I’ll probably get the fixed blade too. I read that there coming out in June.

Now what do I do with my vital and big game vital? I guess the tyto retired the vital already but the fixed blade looks like it will retire the big game vital.

Nope, different.

Thanks for the clarification

Good job on the knife Randy. I'm really picky about any knife I buy and I knew I was going to buy this one the minute I watched the video.

The Gerber folder uses the #60 blades like a Havalon, but not the Big Game model

They have different attachment mechanisms, so they are not interchangeable, even if the same size and profile.

You're right, the Vital Pocket Folder uses the #60 blades but not the Big Game...

Interesting knives with some innovating ideas. I would like to check them out in the store, but I'm not sure they are what I prefer in a hunting knife. I'll probably get a fixed blade model to add to my collection just because.

@Big Fin Any word when the new knives will be released?
