At OFFGRIDweb.com, we recently reviewed a new fixed blade line: the Gerber Ghoststrike. These blades are described as a “…three-piece self-defense system designed for discreet carry in any environment.” The Ghoststrike series is composed of three models: Ghoststrike Punch Knife – A short push dagger with a sheath designed to be worn around the neck or on a belt. Ghoststrike Fixed Blade – A longer knife with a full-grip handle, which includes a traditional belt sheath. Ghoststrike Deluxe Kit – The same fixed blade above, but with an additional neoprene ankle wrap for use as a boot knife. Technically, it’s a three-piece system, but with two blade designs: push dagger or fixed blade. The Deluxe option simply provides an ankle wrap carry option. Each of the blades are designed here in the USA, the 420HC steel is produced in the USA, and the blades are manufactured in the USA. Read the rest of the review right here on OFFGRIDweb.com.
