Looking for something a little more compact than the new 2018 Gerber Spine? You are in luck because the Vertebrae has your "back." Gerber has been producing fixed blade combat and survival knives for the military forces since the late 60's and the newly released Vertebrae fixed blade continues with that fine tradition of excellence. Built with a sturdy full tang design and offered in 2 distinct handle colors, the Spine is the quintessential all-around utility blade--built for tasks around the camp site or smack dab in the wilderness. This model features a flat sage green rubberized polymer handle, a drop point style head in a stonewash finish and the flat sage green GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) sheath provides safe storage and transport.
