The Gerber Gear Freeman Guide Gut Hook folding knife is descended from the original award-winning Freeman Guide fixed blade knife. Though originally made for general purpose use, it has gained recognition as a capable hunting and camping blade. Sturdy and beautifully balanced at 6.6 ounces, the Freeman Guide Gut Hook folder journeys into the field with ease. In tandem with its fine edge blade, the cleverly engineered gut hook of this folding knife can smoothly field dress an animal, virtually unzipping the animal's cape. The well adapted gut hook tip prevents inadvertent puncturing of the stomach, intestines, or bladder, giving its users confidence as they work. Moving seamlessly from field dressing game to shelter building, the Freeman Guide folder's fine edge structure allows for fast, thorough clean up in the field, sharpening easily on the go. A stainless steel blade means the Freeman Guide Gut Hook folder handily resists corrosion and still offers strength and utility. With the ergonomic TacHide onlay, the handle of this rugged knife ensures a great, certain grip in all conditions. Jimping along the upper edge of the handle leading toward the blade gives a solid rest for the thumb, keeping the knife firmly in the hand during use in the messiest conditions. Dual thumb studs allow for smooth right or left one- handed open of the liner-locking folder. The Freeman Guide knife's sheath contains the knife for belt-attached carry in sturdy ballistic nylon.
