Design cues for the Prodigy were inspired
by the award-winning LMF II,
another knife engineered by Gerber's Jeff Freeman. The Prodigy is
smaller, but it certainly packs as much punch as its predecessor. The
full tang, U.S. 420HC Stainless Steel blade is beefy, and coated with
black oxide for improved corrosion resistance and reduced visual
signature. The ergonomic over-molded rubber handles ensures a soft,
comfortable, but secure grip in all conditions. Its also MIRS
compliant. Much like the knife, the sheath is designed to live up to
the task with a friction-release thumb lock for security and a list of
non-detection features. Noise is dampened thanks to a molded softgrip
coating which, like the ballistic nylon material, is MIRS compliant.
Its also MOLLE compatible and comes with a leg strap and two additional
attachment straps for added security.
