I received one of these knives as a hand me down and used it extensively for a few months. It was predominately used for cutting rope, boxes, feed bags and cans. The ergonomics are great and the serrations assist the knife's functionality and prolong the blade's edge. The aesthetic value is a selling point, however I don't like the closed back of the knife which forms a reservoir for grime and dirt.
There was one troubling characteristic to my knife. The liner lock eventually failed in the manner mentioned in a previous review. If enough force and torsion was applied to the blade, the liner lock would slip. Granted, I was using an older knife that had been beaten up a good bit. I would exercise caution if you want to use this blade for heavy duty work. It's a good looking general purpose knife, but if you are going to be doing some heavy duty work with it you should search elsewhere for a safe and reliable utility blade.

This is a great knife. It stays sharp for a very long time and is very sturdy. The handle on it is very comfortable and easy to grip. It can open and close very smoothly and it locks into place very securely. I have used this knife for many projects and on many camp outs, and it held up well for all of them. The belt clip on it is also very secure and durable. If looks are a factor, this knife covers that to. It looks very sleek and has a cool design. I strongly recommend this knife to anyone who needs a sharp, durable knife.

My husband had asked for a new knife for his birthday. His only specifications were that it be a Gerber. Thanks to Amazon.com, I can read reviews on many styles. I chose the AR05849 3.0 Black, Serrated Edge due to its rugged good looks and the available reviews. My husband, as well as his co-workers, loves it. He uses it many times everyday and continues to comment on how it holds its edge.
