 Gone downhillFeb 05, 2009
By A Customer

I am uploading 2 pictures to show the current state of Gerber's manufacturing skill. This knife used to be much better.
Near the tip of the blade, the edge grind is horribly one-sided.
Near the base of the blade, the edge has been ground nearly 1/8" more than necessary. It almost looks like it had been used for years and re-sharpened.
Long ago, this knife had a small raised area inside the handle on either side of the blade, simulating a washer. This prevented the visible portions of the blade tang from rubbing against the handle, which on the new version is producing scratches. It's purely cosmetic, but I don't see why they would have changed this for the worse.
It also used to include a pocket clip which could be attached if you preferred, but now does not.

Excellent everday knifeFeb 05, 2003
By Adam Cox
I first purchased one of these knives several (3 or 4) years ago, and that very same knife is in my pocket now. It lives up the the Gerber name, being a very high quality, lockback pocketknife. One of my favorite features of this knife is that it is very thin and barely noticeable when in your pocket. For those of you who like to have a pocket clip, mine came with a removeable one that fits into the landyard hole at the bottom of the handle. It does a good job holding an edge, I had to sharpen mine fairly often because of the heavy use it recieved. This is a very reliable, high quality knife, and I recommend it to anyone who needs a knife to carry every day for those odd jobs that pop up.

Worlds Handiest PocketknifeSep 23, 2001
By A Knife Enthusiast
I bought my first one over years ago; finally wore down the blade from misuse and sharpening.I immediatly got another five years ago and have used it for everything including cleaning several deer.This one is even better than the first. I own over fifty "using" knives, and other than the times when a fixed blade knife is needed, this is the one I choose and use. The quality of the steel and design are all out of proportion to the price. Get one, use it and enjoy a high quality knife that is easy on the pocketbook and easy to carry. PS: My "belt" knife is a Gerber tool.

Excellent utility knifeNov 04, 2007
By CWM
I purchased one of these knives in 1985 at Ft. Benning Georgia. That same knife is in my pocket today and has traveled from Arctic climates to the tropics. It is a very handy little blade for simple, everyday cutting chores. I own several expensive, well known "tactical" folding knives, but for everyday practicality this one cannot be beaten, especially for the price. My original cost $8.00 new, and I bought a second one as a spare a couple of years ago. It usually sits in a drawer because the original one is still going strong! I just bought my third for a gift to someone and I expect they will have it as long as I have had mine.

Perfect Pocket KnifeJul 10, 2007
By Dan Perdue

For years my dad would break out his trusty Gerber whenever he need to open a letter or peal an orange. Now I know why. The knife is lightweight, fits very nicely in your hand, has an extremely sharp blade, and is nice and flat so it doesn't cause a huge bulge when it's in your pocket. The checkered grip makes it easy to hold onto and it will take a sharpening well.
