Outside Magazine's annual Summer Buyer's Guide included the Gerber 39 Series Micarta as a "must-have knife" in 2016. The best products in the outdoor space get included in these buyer's guides and while featured alongside a SOG advertisement, Gerber gets the win in the editor's eyes. The piece highlights the American-made knife, saying that "it feels great in-hand and holds a wicked edge"! This is a great hit for the 39 Series Micarta.
