PORTLAND, OR, – GERBER GEAR is honored to announce a new U.S. Government National Stock Number (NSN) on the TerracraftFull Tang Fixed Blade Fieldcraft Tool. With this addition, Gerber now has a total of 56 NSNs available through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The Terracraft Fixed Blade Fieldcraft Tool from Gerber is built for use and abuse in the outdoors. The thick drop point blade is made from CPM S30V steel, a tough material that sharpens with ease so you can have a razor-fine edge in no time, every time. The blade spine features a 90-degree corner designed for effective fire striking. The lynchpin of the Terracraft is the handle, made from weatherproof, waterproof G-10 and built with ultimate comfort in mind.

Many companies throughout the history of American knife manufacture have risen and fallen on the backs of government contracts. Getting NSN designation on a product is a big deal.
