I purchased the knife to take overseas for deployment to Afghanistan. It's low profile, fits in the back pocket of the Army ACUs nicely and can be employed quickly from there as a backup or utility knife. I can sit down with the knife in that pocket and not even know it is there. It has held up nicely and I would recommend it to anyone needing a good basic knife for a variety of needs that doesn't take up a lot of pocket space.

If you're debating on buying this knife - stop - and simply buy it.

If that's not good enough, keep reading and let me share some details about Gerber's awesome craftmanship.

This is a big knife, it completely fits your hand, and contours perfectly to it. It's incredibly light and fits easy inside your pocket with the clip.

I use this at work to cut boxes, and splice wires but it's got the strength to do so much more. Everytime I pull this out at work, people ask me to hold it - that can get rather annoying, but it comes with the territory of a great knife.

The cutting power is outstanding, and it comes sharp and ready to use right out of the box. Once you experiment with the lever on the back, you can open this knife with a lightning fast flip, or you can use the thumb grip to slide it up. It took a little practice, but now I feel like I can pop it open like a pro.

It's a beautiful black on black grip and blade. If you're in the military, I bet this could do some damage, and is easy to cart around unseen.

If I was stranded on an island, this would probably be my first choice to take with me.

I could say many more things, but if you've read this far, you're already making the right decision by looking at this balde. I spent many hours researching for a blade that looked unique, intimidating, comfortable, and performed well - and I chose this one, and it exceeds my expectations - I'm sure it will exceed yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great casual carry knife, June 7, 2009

I chose this knife as a birthday present for myself and I love it. I've had other Gerbers before but they were usually fairly small and felt awkward in my hands if I had to use any kind of force or pressure to cut something. The Torch II Tanto feels good in my hands. Like the other reviewer said, it is heavy but I'd rather say that it's just big boned.
The finger flip opening/finger guard works very well. This was my first knife with that type of opening as an option and it took a day or two to get used to it but now I can flip it open just as fast as a knife with assisted opening. The finger guard is just a big plus.
The blade isn't as sharp as I expected a Gerber blade to be but it is still very sharp and cuts very well. Overall a great knife that I carry with me everywhere but to work.
