Gerber 22-01969 Remix Clip Folder Knife with Serrated Edge

by Gerber Legendary Blades

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Gerber 22-01969 Remix Clip Folder Knife with serrated edge has a one-handed opening design with large finger hole to use for extra stability and grip. Titanium coated aluminum handles keep it lightweight and strong. Stainless steel liners give is more support. Savvy, Ingenuity, Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to our emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. But then there's the issue of toughness. And frankly, nothing could be tougher than living down the first career of founder Joseph Gerber as that's right, an advertising man. You could call it the "Boy Named Sue" syndrome. And live it down we have. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910. One Christmas, he hired a local knife maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939. It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand. One that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products. Such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration. With a history like ours and products like these, its no wonder we are completely unafraid of the future

1.0 out of 5 stars Gerber Remix sliding lock...Fail., March 30, 2009

Length:: 1:01 Mins

I purchased the Gerber Remix with the fine edge and with the serrated edge after I read about them in the January or February '09 issue of "Outdoor" magazine (Essentials section).

However, when I received the knives, I noticed that the sliding lock mechanism on the serrated blade knife did not always engage and lock the blade.

I'm not sure if the spring is just weak or if it is just a poor design. I will note that the locking mechanism on the fine edge Remix locks just fine. But, the knife is new. I'm wondering what will happen to the locking mechanism, as a whole, once the knife is exposed to saw dust, grease, - heck, pocket lint. All the parts that make up the locking mechanism are exposed and debris interfering with the safe operation of the knife is foreseeable.

I own many, many Gerber knives. From the LMF II to the tiny LST. Very disappointed in this knife. It is a shame, too. The fingerhole provides a grip that makes the knife beg to be used.

Great knife, HOWEVER. If you keep the knife on your pocket keep it outside of your pocket. I use to wear the knife inside my left pocket. One day I put my hand in my pocket a sliced down the side of my left hand. The knife was new and was very sharp. The knife had opened just enough to expose the tip. Took three steri strips to close up the slice.

The Gerber Remix is a beautiful knife... all metal, with a lustrous combination of finishes, a great blade shape, sharp edge, and that huge, stylish finger hole. Unfortunately, it's also a piece of junk. The blade pivot feels like it's full of glue, the lock is awkward, and the metal edges, although smooth to the touch, are rough on your hands if you try to access anything in the pocket you've clipped the knife to. But there's more...

THE BLADE LIKES TO OPEN OF IT'S OWN ACCORD. I've not stabbed myself, but I've come REALLY close. Gerber should recall all these knives. Seriously.

Just an FYI... my late father was a professional custom knife maker, and I have a lot of experience with fixed and folding blades, for every use from utility to collecting rare edged weapons. I had a funny feeling when I bought this knife, and I should have followed it, put the bleepin' thing back in the display case, and picked out one of Gerber's GOOD knives, of which they have many.
