- Textured anodized aluminum handle

Feel ready for anything with the comfortable Gerber Air Ranger clip folding knife in your hand. Featuring a machined aluminum grip with precision textured checkering, its tactile sensation is very high when gripped--translating to an unusual degree of dexterity and high confidence. Heralded knife maker William Harsey, Jr. conceived this popular clip folder. Harsey found the pivotal balance between a knife that's smooth to deploy and use, and a knife that's as tough as they come.
The hearty thumbstud facilitates easy one-hand opening, and it as a strong, reliable stainless steel pocket clip. The Air Ranger has a 3.26-inch blade length and an overall 7.32-inch length. The serrated clip point blade is made from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel and the handle is constructed from machined aluminum. Easily pocketable, it weighs 2.6 ounces. It's backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

If I could change one thing about the design of this knife, it would be to round off the square edges on the handle, to make it more pocket friendly. I've modified mine with a Dremil Tool, to perfection. It comes in and out of my pocket smoothly, and doesn't wear out the pocket liner on my jeans either. I've uploaded some photos, in case anybody is interested in doing the same.
My only beef with this knife is it's now only available in the half-serrated blade style. I prefer a smooth finely honed edge. Serrations are for steak knives and kitchen cutlery. I use a Lansky 3-stone hone to keep mine razor sharp. My blade has the original AUS-8A alloy steel, and you can shave with it. Several years back, on an extended hunting and camping expedition, I actually did just that.

UPDATE (1 year+): This knife is awesome. I use it multiple times a week and often carry it with me just in case. It's in perfect working order after hundreds of uses over the past year+ and has not required any maintenance. Smooth action and no problems still. I've used it as a screw driver, hammer, and any other weird way you can use a EDC blade as a tool and it keeps going strong.
This has been a great all purpose knife. I use it around the house for various tasks and it's come in handy for camping and fishing. It's sharp, reliable, and highly reviewed by many others. I've only owned a few knifes like this in the past so it's difficult for me to compare to the market. But, I would mention that I've had the knife for over 6 months now and have had no issues with anything coming loose (not even a bit). I use the knife almost daily and it feels just as nice as the day I got it. It has a good weighted feel in your hand and seems to be made of solid materials. The knife edge is very sharp and the serrated edge is very useful for fishing and camping purposes. Obviously a purpose specific knife may do some of the jobs I refer to better, but for edc this is a solid blade. Highly recommended.
The blade held its edge with only semi-annual sharpenings (which for my level of use is impressive). Some might say its a bit big for a pocket knife, but I have found its length quite useful (especially for food with toddlers around). It allows me to cut fruits and breads that a 1-2" knife just wouldn't do.
I cannot praise this knife enough. I find them on sale occasionally and give them out as gifts to everyone I know.

Die Verarbeitung jedoch ist sehr gut. Enttäuscht bin ich leider vom Schliff des Messers. Nach zwei leichten Gebräuchen, tut es sich schon schwer und musste nachgeschliffen werden.
Schade. Aber die Haupfeigenschafft eines Messers sollte ja nun mal nicht im Aussehen, sondern schon in der schnittfähigkeit liegen!
