The River Shorty is an ideal tool for rafting, kayaking, and diving. This knife features a blunt tip, full serration drop point fixed blade with molded handle for strength and reliability. Blade is of medium-carbon stainless steel, high polished to reduce corrosion. The hard plastic handle is molded over the blade tang, virtually making it a one-piece knife. There are several ridges formed in the handle so the user can easily and quickly locate the edge of the blade. The holes in the handle are designed primarily to reduce weight and can be used for security (tie down). The hard plastic sheath allows the knife to be inserted in 2 positions. There are 3 audible clicks to inform the user the knife is secure. The sheath can be attached to a belt, boot, or PFD using the pocket clip. It can also be permanently attached using the 2 plastic rivets.

About Gerber
In 1939 Joseph Gerber hired a local knife maker to build 25 sets of kitchen cutlery to be given as Christmas gifts. The knives were so popular that Joseph Gerber left his advertising agency to start Gerber Legendary Blades®. The unique style and high quality manufacturing of Gerber cutlery soon developed wide spread acclaim. In fact, Gerber Legendary Blades are the only cutlery on display in New Yorks famous Museum of Modern Art.
From very early on, Gerber collaborated with top knife designers, setting a standard of quality for everyone else to follow. Renowned designers such as Al Mar, Bob Loveless, Paul Poehlmann, "Blackie" Collins, William Harsey Jr. and Ernest Emerson have all designed knives for Gerber. In 2002 this tradition continued as Gerber released the Silver Trident?, designed by Chief James "Patches" Watson (U.S.N. Ret.) and Bill Harsey Jr.
Today, Gerber continues to design and manufacture unique, high quality outdoor recreation products. In 2003 we are proud to introduce the next generation of multi-tools: the Recoil Auto-Plier. By constantly utilizing new technology and innovative design to develop new products, Gerber continues to be an industry leader.
