Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-41525 Mini-Fast Draw Spring Assisted Opening Stainless Steel Serrated Knife
Customer Review: A lot of Pros and Cons, over a good knife
Summary: 4 Stars
This being the first Gerber knife I purchased I was not sure what to expect.
For the impatient types:
Blade: 2 inches (3/4 of an inch is serrated)
Handle: 3 inches
Extended: 5 1/8 inches
Pros: Very strong release, Serrated blade, Belt-clip, Lock
Cons: Plastic Handle, Hard to open, Lock is hard to use, Belt clip is hard to use, Requires two hands, Serrated Edge wears out fast.
Overall: Good and stylish knife, surpassed expectations but is difficult to use and not long-lasting.
Summary:
The lock must be pushed forward to allow the blade to be "pushed" out. Literally it requires the lock to be held open, then the blade to be pushed out. This defeats the purpose of a spring-knife. You need two hands and by the time you've unlocked it you could have opened a spring-free knife. The handle is plastic and gets scratched easily. The belt-clip is so strong that it is useless.
The knife features a strong, automatic, and fast release spring-operating-system. The release surpassed my expectations and was incredibly fast. If you're looking for self defense this is the speed you want to get. The problem that ruins this release is the safety lock, however. The lock measures exactly 1/2 of a centimeter. The lock is hard to shift. It requires a sliding motion to move it 2 millimeters from SAFE to open. When the lock is shifted to open, a red dot will be visible in the lock. The lock is flimsy and requires much effort to move. After the blade is extended, to close the knife one must push the lock back to "open" and push the blade back. This will require two hands, very difficult to do with one hand as the spring is so strong.
The handle is made of plastic, which disappointed me. It retains any scratches or drop impact done to it; it scratches easily. A few drops on concrete and your handle will become frayed and scratched ("fuzzy" as my brother says).
The belt-clip is made of steel. It has the GERBER name on it and has an upturned end to assist easy clipping. The problem with the belt-clip however, is that it is made of steel. This makes it incredibly hard to clip or open. If you're thinking of clipping this onto your belt or pocket, it won't happen.
The serrated edge features 6 small spikes, these will however be completely gone after a month of moderate use. If you sharpen your knife the serrated edge will become flat and wear away. Not much for durability.

About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and 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 same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.
