Gerber Bear Grylls COMPACT II
The COMPACT II incorporates the new colour and design language of Bear Grylls products in the successful Compact Scout model and now features a smooth blade throughout. The COMPACT II is also manufactured in the USA. The lightweight pocket knife has a coated blade made of rust-free 420HC steel. In the working position, the blade is locked in place by a classic back lock. The knife fits comfortably in the hand thanks to its finely ribbed thumb rest and non-slip nylon handle scales with a TPE coating.

420 steel
Material information:
420 steel is mainly used when knife manufacturers want to keep the price-performance ratio low. The material is very corrosion-resistant, i.e. rust-free. However, this type of steel needs to be sharpened quite frequently. This is very easy to do. Of course, there are higher-quality knife steels, but this quality is usually sufficient for most applications.
