A Few 3-Inch Gerber Knives for Youngsters

When you're looking for a starter knife for a young boy or girl, 3-inch Gerber knives are a great way to go. That's because 3-inch Gerber knives are small enough to carry in a pocket or pack, but still carry the Gerber name, quality construction and dependability you want for a new knife user.

A Few Knives to Choose From

There are a few of 3-inch Gerber knives to choose from, too. Knives like the Winchester All Steel Clip Folder, which measures only 3.25 inches closed, and features a 2.25-inch blade, fall neatly into the class of 3-inch Gerber knives.

At less than three ounces in weight, the Winchester All Steel Clip Folder is an ideal 3-inch Gerber knife; perfect for getting a new knife user acclimated to carrying a knife. It's not too heavy, but carries enough weight to remind your young sportsman that they have a knife in their pocket. (An important reminder in today's society where knives must be laid aside in a variety of situations such as school yards or government offices.)

Perfect for Anyone

In addition, the Winchester All Steel Clip Folder features a pocket clip for easy carrying in places where it's okay for a knife to be seen. Plus as one of the less expensive versions of 3-inch Gerber knives, it's a good value for a young person who is more apt to lose a knife than someone's who has been carrying a knife for many years.

Small but Visually Aggressive

If you're looking for a bit more aggressive version of the 3-inch Gerber knives, you might want to look at the Gerber Kiowa Black, Tanto Tactical Knife. As one of the better 3-inch Gerber knives, the Kiowa features a "take-no-prisoners" attitude that says this knife is nothing to mess around with.

Features of the Kiowa

While it's classed as one of the 3-inch Gerber knives because of its 2.99 inch blade length, the power in that high carbon stainless steel, Tanto style blade is legendary. This is a bit heavier knife, as well as being a bit bigger overall, and you can tell by looking, this is a knife for a more mature user. But by the sheer classification of it being one of the 3-inch Gerber knives, it's still a good choice for a starter. As long as there are knife carrying and usage lessons included.

Gerber Offers Much More

There are a multitude of other 3-inch Gerber knives that you can choose for a starter knife for your new sportsman. The best thing about them is that each one is well-made, carries the Gerber limited lifetime warranty, and is backed by a name that has meant quality and reliability for over 70 years. Whether it's one of the 3-inch Gerber knives or another style altogether, those are features not to be taken lightly when purchasing a first knife, or a knife for someone who's carried Gerber knives for years.

When locating quality 3-inch Gerber knives for your scout, or little helper, Gerber has the quality and warranty to stand behind their products. Please comment below.

Some of the Best Folding Knives Around are Gerber

There's a reason knife users consider Gerber the best folding knives you can buy. In fact, there are several of them. Quality, variety, craftsmanship, design and the legendary Gerber warranty, along with many other factors work together to make Gerber the best folding knives you can buy... hands down.

Overall Quality

Quality is the most notable aspect of what makes Gerber the best folding knives you can buy. The Gerber quality stands head and shoulders above other knife makers. In fact, that quality, which is evident in our classic knives like the Gerber Applegate Covert or the Gerber Gator, is what gives Gerber Legendary Blades its top-notch reputation. When folks buy Gerber knives and gear, they know they're getting the best. It's as simple as that.

A Variety to Choose From

In addition to the quality of Gerber knives is the sheer variety available. Another reason these are considered the best folding knives you can buy. Choose from various blade styles, handle materials, blade steel, overall length, open blade length, even sheath styles. The ability to find a Gerber knife to fit every need is another reason people say Gerber makes the best folding knives you can find.

Top of the Line

The Gerber craftsmanship seldom needs description. That's because even folks who prefer another brand of knife know Gerber is top of the line. (Apparently, there's no accounting for the taste of some folks.) At any rate, Gerber's craftsmanship should probably have been listed first when it comes to what makes the best folding knives. All the awards won over the years attest to this fact.

Designed by the Pro's

And craftsmanship ties closely to design. Professional knife design is a competitive field. Designing the best folding knives may seem like a hit or miss scenario, but you can bet that Gerber knife designers know their business. There's nothing left to chance when knives are designed by people like Butch Vallotton, creator of FAST assisted opening knives; Michael Walker, linerlock designer; or the more commonly known knife designers as Jeff Freeman or Colonel Rex Applegate.

Satisfaction

Of course, when it comes to the best folding knives, you can't leave out what the Gerber limited lifetime warranty brings to the table. Sure, you might say that if a knife is truly one of the best folding knives you can buy you wouldn't need the warranty. But that's not the case. It's because Gerber knows that they make the best folding knives available that they can offer such a guarantee without fear of losing their shirts, or their sheaths, as the case may be.

There are a number of factors that work together to create the best folding knives you can buy. But one thing's for certain. Any knife categorized as one of the best folding knives you can buy is going to have the name "Gerber" branded on the blade. It's just that easy.

When looking for the best folding knives on the market, Gerber should be the first place you turn to.
