Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Covert Folder

As legacies go, a man could do worse than being survived by the famous knife he designed. Such is the case with the late Colonel Rex Applegate. He was one of the top authorities on close-quarters combat specifically, and fighting knives in general. The Applegate-Fairbairn® Covert stands with the Applegate-Fairbairn® Combat™ as lasting symbols of the colonels' dedication, expertise, and sense of purpose.

It should come as no surprise that these two knives are known internationally as best-of-class among folding tactical knives. They've rightfully earned a reputation for unmatched strength, durability and balance.

More than that, tactical professionals have high regard for the high carbon 420 stainless steel blade. As well as the glass-filled nylon handles, and the patented roto-lock. The Combat has the added convenience of a hearty pocket clip and a ballistic nylon sheath.
