Gerber Pledge – Knife of the Week

Gerber Pledge

The Pledge is Gerber’s promise to offer a low-cost knife with a compelling design you can depend on. Gerber delivers on that pledge in spades.

Gerber makes some of the best high-quality knives made in America you can buy, such as the 06 Auto and StrongArm. But their budget-friendly models are some of the most underrated knives on the market, including our latest Knife of the Week.

The Gerber Pledge features a slim 3.7-inch blade with a full panel reverse tanto blade. This is a unique blade shape that offers additional versatility for everyday carry.

It opens with a reversible thumb stud and locks in place with a liner lock.

The urban blue glass-filled nylon scales are understated and comfortable to hold. A reversible pocket clip and overall weight of 2.9 ounces means it’s easy to carry.

At this price point, it’d be difficult to find a better slim folder with a compact construction than the Pledge.

    The Gerber Pledge is a great budget-friendly EDC knife with that slim reverse tanto blade design. If you are into 3D modeling and printing knife accessories or sheaths, I also found https://3mf-to-stl.com really helpful for converting between file formats.

    In Wave Rider, players guide a board through tight spaces while avoiding underwater hazards. Quick directional control becomes essential during longer runs.

    I’ve been carrying a Gerber for years, and the Pledge seems like a solid everyday option—lightweight but sturdy enough for most tasks. How does the edge retention hold up with regular use?

    I like the slim reverse tanto blade and lightweight design. It’s impressive to see so many useful features at this price.

  13. I’ve had my Gerber Pledge for about six months now, and it’s become my go-to for everyday tasks. The blade holds an edge surprisingly well for its size, though I wish it had a slightly deeper pocket clip. How does it compare to other Gerber models you’ve reviewed?
