MP600
The MP600 opens its needlenose jaws with a one-handed plunger action rather than a butterfly fold. Gerber counts 14 tools, all locking via its Saf.T.Plus system, in a 255 g body that closes to 116.8 mm. Gerber describes it as its best-selling multi-tool platform to the US military.

- Blade steel
- Stainless steelThe manufacturer does not say which steel this is. "Stainless" covers everything from soft 420J to premium powder steels, so on its own it tells you almost nothing.Treat an unnamed steel as a budget stainless until the maker says otherwise. A maker who uses a good steel usually names it. Editorial guidance, not a measured specification.
