Description
Gerber Guardian 1980’s production boot knife – A rare knife indeed in this condition.
The Gerber Guardian Back Up model 05803 is a dagger style knife designed for carrying on the belt, boot, or strap.
A non-reflective black coating covers the full tang stainless steel blade, therefore giving it a military appearance. The handle is comfortable with some advantages, firstly a nice grip and secondly, thanks to the Santoprene nylon covering, a non slip advantage.
The sheath is fully adjustable allowing the draw tension to be set for removing the knife. There may be a preference for a loose draw while others may want a stiffer draw.
