Plain Clip Point Blade Gator Mate Folding Knife -
Gerber revolutionized knife grip technology when it introduced the Gator® in 1991. That year, it won Blade Magazine's Most Innovative Knife of the Year® award. The ATS-34 Gator Mate®, a more compact version of the Gator®, has handles made of a hard inner core of glass filled nylon, with Kraton® rubber molded through and around the exterior of the inner core. This creates a handle that is soft and tacky when gripped, yet is more durable than wood and metal handled knives.
Clip Blade -
The clip blade is a classic shape and very practical. Its name describes a shape that seems to have a portion of the spine of the blade clipped off. This brings the blade point lower for extra control and enhances the sharpness of the tip. It provides ample "belly" in the blade for slicing or skinning and a good tip for inserting in and under things that need to be cut. You will often find a false edge with the clip point.
Lockback -
Folding knife that has a lock release on the back of the handle.
Zytel -
A glass filled nylon material used in making handles for knives. DuPont trademark.
Kraton G Thermoplastic Elastomer -
Referred to simply as Kraton, is a man made material resembling rubber that can be molded into knife handles. Knife provides a non slip grip.
