#43 :: Semiautomatic Clasp Knife
Gerber makes wickedly sharp blades. The serrated one, mounted in a teflon-hinged block of sculpted steel, is among the keenest tools I have ever laid hands on (pocketknife #1 - current, collection since age 6). I became addicted to clasps just a week after lugging around a then-new Kershaw and pointedly *not* losing it out of my pocket on a massively busy trip in and around the Black Rock Desert in mid- -Burning Man. A good knife is for carving grilled meat, cleaning battery terminals and picking teeth.
