What's The Gerber Venture Got For You

The Gerber Venture is only one of several new Gerber knives that have been released for 2012. Not only is the Venture a new design, however, but it features a new technology called Assisted Opening 2.0 that gives the Gerber Venture an unmatched ease in one-handed opening.

It's An Improvement

One of the reviewers of the Gerber Venture stated that this knife isn't a knock-off. "It's an improvement." We agree. Designed to be your go-to knife whatever the task, the Venture is a sleek yet rugged knife that will stand up to the task - whatever that is.

Some Features

The Gerber Venture features a 3.2" 7Cr17Mov steel serrated blade encased in a polished Titanium handle. With a closed length of only 4.6", the Gerber Venture is easy to carry without adding more bulk to your pocket or pack. And with an overall length of 7.8" when opened, it's still big enough to give you leverage when needed and ensure strength for heavier jobs.

New & Improved Assisted Opening

The new Assisted Opening 2.0 mechanism in the Gerber Venture takes the traditional spring-assisted opening up a notch by creating a ball bearing pivot point to make it even easier to open with only one hand than other assisted-opening knives. For added safety, the thumb plunge in the handle makes it easy to close as well, without your fingers getting in the way. A nice feature for a knife you use every day.

Strong Pocket Clip

And with the Gerber Venture, you don't have to worry that you'll inadvertently drop the knife when you bend over or take something else out of your pocket. There's a clip that keeps it secure so you can relax and know your Venture will be there when you need it.

Lifetime of Use

Like all Gerber Legendary Blades, the Gerber Venture comes with a limited lifetime warranty that ensures your product is free from defects and functions as promised. With all these innovative, top quality features, the Gerber Venture is fast becoming a new favorite of Gerber knife fans everywhere.
