This design 'blantantly cop[ies] Ed Hal[l]igan's design' because he sold it to Gerber, like most intelligent knife makers do to make a living.

If you need a small blade to open boxes, bags and cut up to about 3/8" rope - this is the ticket. At sub-$20 it's practically disposable compared to when the K.I.S.S. design was released. It's certainly not designed for hard tasks, to be used all day long or for self defense - if you need those functions look elsewhere. The blade can open in your pocket and may while digging in pockets for other stuff - check out the Gerber "Trendy" model if that is a concern for you. Also the black will wear off quickly so if you want 'longterm pretty' get a full stainless knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good knife for an electritians needs., October 22, 2005

This 3" long knife is the perfect size to fit into your tool belt. Others have taken umbrage with the short blade, however as an electrition, it is the perfect length for slicing down the center of romex. I have had mine for over six months (a testimate to the fact that I do my best to not loose it) and it has yet to get dull. Furthermore, the serated edge works perfectly for fileting the insulation of high guage wire and SE cable. If you're an electrition or you have similar needs to those listed above, then this is the knife for you. I have seen this for $9.99 at my local hardware store. You cannot beat this knife at that price. jay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pocket knife, December 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gerber 05898 Serrated Ridge Knife (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a very durable and functional little pocket knife. I was wary of the size at first, but I have had NO problems with opening/closing. The blade maintains an edge extremely well. I carry this and a Gerber multi-purpose tool daily and this little guy gets a workout. It goes through parachute cord (nylon cord with 7 inner cords) and envelopes with equal ease. No issues with pocket damage and yes, I've even used it as a money clip with no one noticing (just don't forget to put it in your checked baggage at the Airport).
