One of my fondest memories involving pocket knives were those shared with my grandfather and his old, beat up collection of them. He had kept in a drawer a Hopalong Cassidy pocket knife with bottle opener and standard blade. This commemorative had the famed cowboy sitting upon his horse. I will never forget that knife.
Many pocket knives today keep their traditional, old-fashioned handles and the like. Then there are foldout knives that display a hint of futurism, almost science fiction based, before one's time appeal. I see that personally in Gerber's Ripstop I.
The Ripstop I has a super-lightweight frame lock concept that delivers bold strength and high functionality. The weight of the all stainless steel construction knife is made lighter by the intriguing handle and blade design. There's no bulk in the thin, streamlined handle. Dual thumb studs make opening the blade a snap. Closing it is a simple one-handed step.
