For people that may be searching for Gerber tactical knives, we will not call one knife tactical or not because of the online debates that go on about using the word tactical and what that word represents; so they will be referred to as pocket or folding knives, it's features and design is that matters.

The Torch Drop Gerber knife is a straight edge option that features a locking blade and dual thumb studs to open the blade with one hand.
