Product Information

Now here's a knife with some mighty impressive roots. It was brought to market back in 1980 by none other than the man whose last name goes on each of our products. Pete Gerber was the first knife creator to envision the merits of using all-synthetic materials in the handle. He and knife designer Blackie Collins aimed to deliver lightweight performance that had not been seen before in a knife this all-out rugged.

The Gerber L.S.T. is the smoothest of operators. With a mechanical action that just feels good and satisfying when you open and close the blade, which happens to be made of 400 series stainless steel.

But let's get back to the topic of lightweight performance. The heaviest of the four legendary L.S.T. models musters a mere 1.2 ounces on the scales. Yet, when you feel that easy grip, there's no question that Pete Gerber's big idea is one for the ages.

Closed Length: 3.61"
Blade Length: 2.63"
Weight: 1.2 oz.
Blade Material: 420HC Stainless Steel
Blade Style: Drop Point
Drop Point
A drop-point blade has a convex curve of the back towards the point. It handles much like the clip-point through with a stronger point less suitable for piercing. It's usually coupled with plenty of belly for slicing, making it ideal for hunting knives. An extremely good all-around format that also shows up on tactical and utility knives.

Handle Material: Glass filled nylon
Glass filled nylon
Glass Filled Nylon Material: Many of today's thermoplastic materials are improved by adding chopped glass fibers. Often as much as 40% of a product may be glass. Adds great strength.

My all time favorite knife

This is a great knife. Lightweight and strong. I carry one clipped to my front pants pocket always. The nylon grip and clip are a nice feature because it wont scratch your car when you lean over and accidentally rub the paint. when The tip is strong enough for prying, while the blade holds a sharp edge for a long time. I have owned 3 over the past 25 years (lost 2). I'm not sure the optional nylon clip (attaches at the lanyard hole) still comes with the new knives, but it ought to.

It would be better if the hinge pin were peened (like a rivet)

im 17 and have had an old version of this knife for about 8 years. my dad gave it to me so beat up that the tip was rounded. so far though ive found nothing that will stop this knife. its only flaw, and an easy one for Gerber to fix, is that it has no clip

weak point

I have a number of Gerber knives. Different knives for different uses. I was really surprised when the tip broke off while scraping against the grain on a piece of white oak. This is the first Gerber that has failed me. Hope this is not to be a new trend.

Great knife!

Love my LST with serrated edge. Bought 3 of them years ago and am down to the last one (through losing 'em): please bring back the serrated edge model! Simply a great all around work knife value.

just so so

I like this knife because it is light and easy to handle. What I don't like is the blade edge. It refuses to hold a sharp edge. It gets dull just folded in my pocket. I have tried different edge angles, but nothing works.
