An excellent water sports knife, it meets the unique needs of rafting, paddling, and diving. A sturdy stainless steel blade, lightweight glass-filled nylon handle, and deliberately blunt tip ensure carry it on any number of watery excursions.

Design Intent

The one thing that never changes about life on the river is that it is in fact, always changing. The specific demands of those who live, work, or play on the river influenced Gerber to design a knife unlike anything before it. If ever a knife was made for a specific purpose, the River Shorty may just be it.

The rafting, paddling, canoeing, or diving, one thing remains true if a knife is going to hold up in the water the design can’t be an afterthought. The highly polished stainless steel blade makes the River Shorty extremely corrosion resistant, meaning throw it in raft and forget about it until need it. The purposely blunted tip won’t puncture inflatables or fingertips, and the lightweight handle has built in grooves along the edge for grab-and-go situations. This knife goes anywhere the water can take with a sheath designed specifically to mount on a PFD.
