LST - Drop Point, Fine Edge. The Gerber LST is 6.1 inches long when open, but it only weighs 1.2 ounces. The synthetic glass-filled nylon handle is partly responsible for the light weight. As you can see in the video below, this knife is certainly not small by any means. The coolest thing about the Gerber LST is that you can carry a nice sized knife in your pocket without tugging around the extra weight that comes with a big knife. If you do add on embroidery feature, you must also purchase a sheath because this knife does not come with a sheath, see sheaths Sh256 to add on.
