The new Gerber Airlift combines two of its best-selling designs: the durable steel frame of the Paraframe and the streamlined blade and handle of the Ripstop. The result is a larger EDC version of the Paraframe that feels great in the pocket but the heft and resilience to take on most any task.

The Gerber Airlift will be available with both black and silver handles and features a 2.8″ (7.1cm) 5Cr15MoV Stainless Steel clip point blade with ambidextrous thumb studs. We had the opportunity to handle this knife at Shot Show 2017. It feels great in the hand and slips easily in the pocket.
