Gerber LST Mini is a tiny version of Gerber's classic model for everyday use. The original LST revolutionised the folding knife market in the 1980s by combining lightness, smooth operation and durability in the same package. LST Mini takes this idea to the extreme: the knife is built so small and lightweight that it fits even in a full pocket, handbag or pack compartment without taking space from other items.
The modified plain wharncliffe blade is designed for precision cutting. The wharncliffe style's straight cutting edge and tip in line with the blade spine give the blade excellent control – this blade style has traditionally been popular for all kinds of tasks requiring a precise and clean cut, for example opening packages, cutting cord and small detail work. The blade length is 4.8 cm and it is made from 440A stainless steel.
Opening is done conveniently from a thumb hole in the blade. The classic lockback locking mechanism keeps the blade securely in place during use, and the blade only opens when the lock is intentionally released. At the base of the blade is a sharpening choil that makes it easier to sharpen the blade evenly along its full length.
The handle is made of glass-filled nylon, which is lightweight but strong and keeps the grip firm even in wet conditions. The knife weighs just 14 grams, so you barely notice carrying it.
The handle has a grab tab and an attached lanyard, which helps locate the knife easily from the bottom of a backpack or bag. The grab tab also gives the small knife a bit more length for grip, which helps with precision cuts.
