Gerber X21
The Gerber X21 is a budget-friendly folding knife designed for everyday carry (EDC) tasks. It is not listed on Gerber’s official website, suggesting it is an older model or possibly an import, but it is available from various third-party retailers. Different listings describe slightly different versions, but all models feature a stainless steel blade and a durable handle.
| Blade material | Descriptions vary, but most commonly cited are premium stainless steel, 5Cr13 stainless steel, and titanium-plated 5Cr13 stainless steel. This provides good corrosion resistance and easy sharpening. |
| Handle material | The handle is generally made from steel for durability. Some sellers emphasize that the handle is well-balanced and provides a solid grip. |
| Locking mechanism | A liner lock secures the blade when open. |
| Opening mechanism | Manual opening with either a flipper tab or dual thumb studs. Some listings describe it as a “flick knife,” referring to the fast, manual flipper action. |
| Carry features | It includes a pocket clip and a lanyard hole. Some listings mention a “belt clip,” though this is typically the pocket clip. |
| Dimensions | * Blade length: Around (9 cm). * Overall length: Around (20 cm). * Weight: Approximately (101 g). |
