Gerber Moment Folding Knives

Gerber Moment Folding Knives

Gerber have a very comprehensive range of field knives, so when they add a new model/name of field cutlery and offer it in all configurations you can be pretty sure it’s going to be of interest. That’s exactly what the Gerber Moment Pocket Folder, Folding Sheath Drop Point and Moment Fixed Drop Point Knife are all about.

Naturally they share commonalities of build including Drop Point blades manufactured from 5Cr15Mov Carbon Steel which is given an anti-glare glass bead blast finish. Side-handle plates are made up of a Nylon core with a textured rubber over-mould to aid grip and all have elongated lanyard holes.

The Moment Pocket Folding Knife

Gerber describe this as ‘an everyday general pocket knife designed to complement a larger, more task-specific hunting knife.’ That’s a good summery because this very useful folder measures 4.38” in the closed position and 7.4” with the 3” knife blade deployed, yet it only weighs 2.5oz.

The slender stainless handle is well matched to the blade and, when closed, the knife slips easily into your pocket where it can be kept secure thanks to the generously sized and detachable steel pocket clip. Dual thumb studs allow for one-handed blade opening, while the one-sided rubber insert handle offers a modest guard and useful thumb serrations on the spine. Add a nicely machined lock/liner/frame lock mechanism, and you’ve got a blade suitable for many routine task.

The Moment Large Sheath Folding Knife

Measuring 5.1”” closed and 8.63” open with the 3.63” blade deployed and weighing 7.2oz, this is a much more substantial proposition. This sturdy blade uses an elongated thumbhole for one-handed blade deployment and features a more generous moulded rubber handle that offers the user maximum comfort and gives a very a confident grip. Again it uses a very secure liner lock to keep the blade in position and a well-placed finger choil makes for a useful guard. Serrations on the spine also help give the thumb added purchase when carrying out those heavier duty cutting tasks. This stocky broad bladed folder also comes in its own nylon sheath with belt loop.

The Gerber Moment Large Fixed Blade Knife

Last but not least is the ‘big daddy’ of the trio – Moment Large Fixed Blade Knife. Although this measures and weighs a tad more than its close folding relative, it’s virtually identical to it in all other key areas when the folder version is in its deployed state. The handle around the full tang is more thickset affording an even more assured hold and it comes supplied in a quality nylon belt sheath. The handle has a useful pommel to give extra utility.

Conclusion

To sum up, all the featured models offer what is expected of knifes of this type and with the assurance of a bombproof build quality backed by the Gerber Lifetime Warranty choosing any one of them won’t disappoint. The Gerber Moment Pocket Folding DP is priced at £24.99, the Moment Large Sheath Folding DP is £29.99 and the Fixed DP Knife £29.99 respectively.
