Fall camping adventures are on the horizon, which means it’s prime time to look for your next everyday pocket knife. Luckily, there are deals everywhere on best-selling knives from brands like Kershaw, Smith & Wesson, and even Gerber, including one of the brand’s popular folding knives that’s been discounted to under $20.
Gerber’s Ripstop II Drop Point Folding Knife is on sale for $17 at Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is just 60% off its regular retail price of $42. This top-rated knife earned a 4.8-star rating after receiving rave reviews from satisfied shoppers who said it was “the perfect size” and “very sharp,” even after putting it through rigorous testing. Several other Gerber products are also on sale and ready to round out your gear set, including the brand’s E-Tool Folding Shovel and Truss Multi-Tool.

This compact knife weighs just 3 ounces, has a 3-inch blade with a serrated section, and is constructed of sturdy, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The cut-out frame design helps keep the weight down, and the locking handle is ergonomic and stylish to minimize bulk. The knife features a thumb ridge to make opening it with one hand a breeze, while the stainless steel clip keeps it secure in your pocket for any outdoor activity.
Happy customers love the Ripstop II’s light weight and adaptability. “It’s so light and compact…you barely even notice it’s in your pocket,” one customer said. “I use this knife every day—fishing, camping, and hiking,” another customer agreed.

Other knife enthusiasts who have owned the knife for years also chimed in. One longtime user said he’s had his Ripstop II for about six years and that it has “taken a lot of use and abuse.” They added that they’ve “never had a single problem” and “haven’t had to tighten a screw.”
Dick's regularly offers deep discounts on its knives, and this Gerber knife is one of the best and lowest-priced knives we've seen in a while. Regardless of the state of your knife collection, this knife is worth picking up for $17. Just make sure you get yours soon, because we're not sure how long the discount will last.
