Gerber RipStop 1 Folding Knife

Gerber RipStop 1 Folder

The Gerber RipStop 1 is a compact folding knife for daily cutting jobs: opening boxes, trimming cord, cutting zip ties and webbing. Its partially serrated blade gives you a plain edge for clean slicing and a serrated section for fibrous material like rope and strapping. The skeletonized metal handle keeps it light and slim enough to carry in a pocket all day.

Features

• Partially Serrated Edge — The rear section of the edge is serrated, with saw-like teeth that bite into rope, cord and webbing, and the front section is plain for controlled slicing.
• Drop-Point Blade — The spine slopes gently down to the tip, giving a strong point that suits general-purpose cutting.
• Thumb Stud Opening — A small stud on the blade lets you swing it open with one hand.
• Skeletonized Handle — Open cutouts through the metal frame reduce weight while keeping a rigid grip.
• Blade Cutout — An elongated window through the blade trims weight and matches the open look of the handle.
• All-Metal Construction — Blade and handle share a satin silver metal finish with no plastic scales to crack or loosen.
• Branded Pivot Medallion — A Gerber-marked disc surrounds the screw pivot, the point the blade rotates on.
• Folding Pocket Size — The blade closes fully into the handle so the knife carries safely in a pocket or pack.

Build And Carry

Gerber built the RipStop 1 around an open metal frame, assembled with exposed screws and finished in plain satin silver. The design keeps the knife slim and uncomplicated, with one blade, one-hand opening and nothing extra to snag. It suits anyone who wants a light, low-profile folder for everyday carry, a toolbox or a vehicle kit.
