Well, I checked up on these knives, the Gerber Gator fixed blade, and found that the normal production run from Gerber is in 440 stainless, but Cabela's has some that were made to their specs in 154cm hardened to Rockwell 60. For $49.95 I said OK & ordered one. These are full tang & have full Krayton handles for great grip. Seems like a good value . You can get 'em here.
