5.0 out of 5 stars Great knife!, June 22, 2009

By	G. E. Mesmer (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No major issues with this knife at all. A couple of people have made note of it begin too heavy. Don't let this deter you in any way. Anybody who thinks this knife is too heavy has either been using knives made of ultra-light aluminum or Styrofoam. This knife is NOT too heavy; doesn't even come close to being "heavy". I've been carrying it in my pocket, via the clip, and have had to reach down and make sure it was there on more than one occasion. When I think of a heavy folder, I think of the old Buck that I carried through my teens and into my 20's. That was a heavy knife and still is to this day. This Gerber is nowhere near that Buck as far as weight goes.

This knife opens very easily with the finger flip and a snap of the wrist. Anybody with experience using lock back folders will find this more than easy to flip open. The major difference between this (and most modern frame lock knives) is the lock mechanism itself. I haven't had a lot of experience with the new locking knives so, out of the package, it took about 30 minutes to find out how to close it since no instructions were included. The thumb stud works great when not in a rush to open the knife. the finger flip opens it just enough to "grab" the stud and slide it open the rest of the way. The knife was pretty dull at first, but a couple quick slides with the sharpener and I was happy with the edge. No, I can't shave with it yet, but hopefully it'll eventually get there. I did notice a couple of small chips on the edge but can't be sure if they were there already or maybe I pressed too hard in that spot when sharpening.

Bottom line, this is a great knife at an outstanding price. If you're looking for a good self defense/combat folder or just an everyday knife, I highly recommend giving this one consideration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Carry Knife, June 21, 2009

By	Clayton Carney (Albuquerque, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my second Gerber and my new favorite. Not a fan of the pocket clip, so I used a T6 to remove that. The grip is fantastic, very sure and comfortable. The one-handed operation is excellent. Yes, it is heavy, but the stainless steel frame is also extremely solid. I'm not that skilled at honing steel, so the straight facets of the tanto blade are a real plus for maintaining a sharp edge. Highly recommended.
