Gerber STL 2.0 Folding Knife

Slim Everyday Carry Folder

The Gerber STL 2.0 is a small folding knife for people who want a real blade on them every day without the bulk. It closes to 3 inches, weighs about an ounce, and the handle is no thicker than three stacked quarters, so it disappears in a pocket. The 2.1-inch drop point blade is sized for everyday jobs: opening boxes, cutting cord, trimming tags and food prep in the field.

Features

• 2.1-Inch Drop Point Blade — The spine curves gently down to the tip, giving a strong, controllable point that suits general cutting rather than piercing work.
• 440A Stainless Steel — A corrosion-resistant stainless that is easy to resharpen at home, which matters on a knife that gets used daily.
• Plain Edge — A straight, unserrated edge that cuts cleanly and sharpens quickly on a standard stone or rod.
• Frame Lock — When the blade opens, a section of the steel handle springs in behind it and holds it firmly in place until you push it aside to close.
• Thumb Slot Opening — A cutout in the blade gives your thumb a purchase point, so you can open the knife with one hand.
• Manual Action — The blade is non-assisted, opening only as fast as you move it, with no spring to trip.
• Stainless Steel Handle — The handle is stainless with a black-oxide finish and molded grip contours along its length.
• Ultra-Thin Profile — At no thicker than three stacked quarters, the handle sits flat in a trouser pocket, a shirt pocket or a small kit pouch.
• Approximately 1 Ounce — Light enough (about 28 g) that you stop noticing it is there.
• Lanyard Hole — A hole at the butt of the handle takes a lanyard or split ring for attaching to keys or gear.

Build And Dimensions

The STL 2.0 is built almost entirely from steel: a 440A stainless blade in a black finish with the Gerber name on the flat, set in a stainless handle finished in black oxide and held together with exposed screws. Closed, it measures 3 inches (76 mm) with a 2.1-inch (53 mm) blade. It is a compact utility knife, not a hard-use tool, and it is at its best as a light, low-profile backup or everyday carry blade.
