Gerber LST MINI Pocket Knife | 14g | Gray

Gerber LST Mini Grey – Ultra-light pocket knife with 45 years of tradition

Imagine this: you're out and about, your bag is full, and suddenly you need a knife. Nothing big – just something reliable for those little everyday tasks. Opening a package, cutting a string, slicing an apple. The Gerber LST Mini Grey was developed precisely for moments like these.

Weighing just 14 grams, this mini marvel literally disappears into your pocket, keychain, or even the smallest handbag. But don't be fooled by its size: the LST Mini carries on the legacy of a legend – the original LST series, which Pete Gerber personally developed in 1980, revolutionizing the pocket knife market.

The elegant gray color gives the knife a modern, understated look that works perfectly in both business and outdoor adventures. Discreet, timeless, professional – and always at hand.

The LST legend: 45 years of Light, Smooth, Tough

When Pete Gerber, one of the founders of Gerber Legendary Blades, introduced the first LST pocket knife, the vision was clear: Light, Smooth, Tough. Three characteristics that were perfectly combined and immediately revolutionized the market.

The LST Mini is a well-thought-out reinterpretation for the demands of modern everyday life. While the original was already ultra-light (28 grams), the Mini goes one step further: 14 grams. That's less than three five-cent coins! Every detail has been optimized, every component trimmed for maximum efficiency.

Technical perfection in mini format

The blade: 4.8 cm of pure precision

The centerpiece is the 4.8 cm long Modified Wharncliffe blade made of 440A stainless steel:

Why Modified Wharncliffe?

• Precise tip: Perfect for detailed cutting work and tight spaces
• Flat blade back: Allows for controlled pressure with the thumb
• Optimal cutting length: Maximum usable surface area despite compact size
• Versatility: From packing tape to apples – no problem

440A stainless steel – proven quality:

• Corrosion resistant: Rust-free with normal care
• Sharpenability: Easy to resharpen
• Toughness: Does not break under stress
• Cutting performance: Stays sharp for a long time with EDC use

The blade is finished with a black stonewash finish – matte, scratch-resistant, and inconspicuous. A sharpening choil makes resharpening much easier.

The lockback: classic safety

The lockback mechanism is one of the most proven locking systems:

• Bombproof: Stays locked as long as you don't deliberately release it
• Mechanically simple: High reliability
• Easy to use: Intuitive release on the back of the handle
• Proven for decades: Tested millions of times

You feel and hear the satisfying "click" when the blade locks into place – acoustic and haptic feedback for absolute safety.

Thumbhole opening: One-handed & intuitive

The generous thumb hole makes operation child's play:

• One-handed operation: Open with just one hand
• Even with gloves: Generous opening
• Intuitive use: Insert your thumb, open – done
• Safe: No accidental opening possible

The balance is perfect: firm enough to prevent accidental opening, but light enough for effortless opening.

The handle: GFN – Light as a feather, hard as steel

The gray handle is made of glass fiber reinforced nylon (GFN):

• Ultra-light: Contributes significantly to the 14-gram weight
• Extremely robust: Higher impact resistance than many metals
• Non-slip: Textured surface for a secure grip
• Temperature-resistant: No problems with heat or cold
• Chemical resistant: Insensitive to oils, solvents, salt water

The gray color shows less dirt than light-colored handles and looks more professional than eye-catching signal colors. Despite the compact 6.9 cm handle length, the knife fits surprisingly well in the hand.

Grab Tab with lanyard: Versatile carrying options

The Grab Tab with burgundy lanyard loop offers:

• Lanyard attachment: For keychain or belt
• Better grip: Additional control for precise cuts
• Easier to pull out: From tight pockets
• Identification: Faster to find in full pockets

Dimensions & weight: Compact to perfection

With a closed length of 6.9 cm, the LST Mini fits easily on any key ring, in any coin pocket, or in any EDC organizer. It is smaller than an average smartphone and lighter than three coins. At 14 grams, it is so light that you will seriously forget you are carrying it with you.
