Gerber 22-41758 EVO and EVO Jr. Knives Combo Pack

by Gerber

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Introducing a clip folder for knife people who prefer the look of a straight spine; the profile reveals a "seamless" design that begins at the back of the blade and continues along the length of the upper edge of the handle. In fact, the EVO and EVO JR. actually have a little bit of the dagger in them. Another aesthetic design touch is the series of seven slanting oval openings in the anodized aluminum handle. They serve to make these knives both organic and aggressive. Functionally, the oval openings further reduce the overall weight of these knives to near nothingness. The blades are constructed of 440 stainless steel that is coated with titanium nitride for added corrosion resistance. There's a thumb stud for easy one-handed opening. And, there's an integral finger guard for an extra measure of safety. Bottom line? You'd do well to own such a highly evolved knife.

This review is from: Gerber 22-41758 EVO and EVO Jr. Knives Combo Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

Length:: 1:18 Mins

Pros:
* Low Cost
* Low Weight Evo Serrated - 2.80 oz, and Evo Jr. - 1.80 oz
* Adjustable One-handed operation to open/close
* Well Balanced
* Very Sharp, and Holds a Great Edge
* Anodized aluminum cut-out handle
* Handle is Very Strong, but lightweight
* Knife can be very tight, but with a Torx bit, One can loosen it to their taste

Cons:
* Handle is a bit slippery to hold on the Evo Jr.

I had no problem opening the Evo Serrated Edge, but the Evo Jr. was abit stiff, but with the use of a Torx bit, I loosen it to my Taste. Now both open with a quick smooth action. For more infomation and specs check out the Gerber Gear Site.

I have added a quick and low resolution video to show the one handed opening, and both knives side by side.

Supper Shipping Saver (Free Shipping) is quite fast.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to open and handle is slippery, December 16, 2009

Maybe I'm being over-critical on a reasonably priced knife set, but 3 stars means "It's OK" -- and it is just OK.

Pros:
* Low price
* Light weight
* One-handed operation to open/close
* Nice fit and finish and razor sharp

Cons:
* Hard to open compared to bigger knives and thumb stud is not tall enough
* Aluminum handle is not very strong and is slippery
* Blade is too thin
* Blade is not tall enough
* Belt clip has to go

The slender design of the blade and handle results in a knife that is hard to open using the thumb-stud. It also feels small in your hand to the point where I'd be worried that my hand will slip forward onto the blade if any forward pressure was exerted. The aluminum handle is slippery even when dry. The belt clip is useless and I removed it immediately. I had the tiny Torx driver necessary to remove the belt clip but the bolts stripped so I just pried the handle up until the screws ripped out of the soft aluminum body.

The protrusion from the back of the knife's blade isn't intended to open the knife; rather, it's to prevent your hand from slipping forward when the knife is open.

If this is in your price range, it's an OK choice; but, I'd recommend something beefier with a non-slip handle if you can find it. I carry the little one and am satisfied enough.
