Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 05780 Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder Knife
Customer Review: Beautiful blade (Gerber Applegate Combat Folder 4.5" blade)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this one for years, lost it for a couple and found it recently. This is a very well made blade, fits nicely in the hand, even if you have big meaty paws. Ambidextrous open/close comes in very handy since I use it with both hands and the safety mechanism is sturdy.
The practical value is not very high however. For utility purposes, the shorter versions are much more functional and the blade length makes it illegal to carry in most municipalities.
For combat (and trust me, you'll never use it for combat) or survival/field work, a longer fixed blade would be more useful. In such a case, I prefer my Ka-Bar clip point 7" blade, though you can put together a very versatile survival kit using just Gerber products: axe, saw, blade, spade, multi-tool and flashlight
Description of Gerber 05780 Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder Knife
As legacies go, a man could do worse than being survived by the famous knife he designed. Such is the case with the late Colonel Rex Applegate. He was one of this proud nations top authorities on close-quarters combat in particular, and fighting knives in general. The Applegate-Fairbairn Covert stands with the Applegate-Fairbairn Combat as lasting symbols of the colonels dedication, expertise, and sense of purpose.It should come as no surprise that these two knives are known internationally as best-of-class among folding tactical knives. They've rightfully earned a reputation for unmatched strength, durability and balance.
More than that, tactical professionals have high regard for the high carbon stainless steel blade. As well as the glass-filled nylon handles, and the patented rotolock. The Combat has the added convenience of a hearty pocket clip.
