Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great knife, Gerber has been known for quality for years in the knife industry and this one does not disappoint. The F.A.S.T. System is great, just apply a little pressure to the thumb stud and it quickly flips into position. It includes a built in safety switch so there are no accidental openings while in your pocket should you be rummaging around in there. The body of the knife has a great feel to it, I do wish it was a little more tactile in grip, but that is only a minor complaint. The blade has a great feel to it and has a great finish, and it comes VERY sharp and will keep an edge on it for a while. The pocket clip is fantastic as well, and just one more thing that goes to show you this is a REALLY well made knife. I can recommend this to you without any hesitation, because you will be very pleased to have this high quality of knife for this kind of price which is less than $30 dollars!
Just a thought, I picked up the fine edge knife because it suits all of my needs, they do make a 40% ( I think, could be more) serrated version of this knife if you need something with a little more bite too it, but its the same price and quality.
Customer Review: Nice pocket knife
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a little tough to get open,
but I think that's because they don't
want it flipping open in your
pocket, otherwise nice knife.
Customer Review: A great knife and a great value.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this knife to replace my primary knife I carry after I recently lost it in the field. I haven't owned this knife too long, but I do want to share my initial reactions.
Pros:
Tight and sturdy hinge - solid hinge while still allowing smooth movement; seems like it will hold up.
Well designed thumb studs - ergonomic without being too big and snagging on your pocket.
Lightweight - plastic sides covering steel frame.
Sturdy spring steel pocket clip - removable if you don't like the clip.
Great value - Gerber knives are not in the same league as their prices.
Cons:
Wasn't very sharp out of the box - Gerber's sharpen up nice and take an edge, so it wasn't a deal-breaker for me.
The finger release is kind of hard to use - you can either use the thumb stud (which works awesome) or the finger release with your index finger, but unfortunately I find the finger release to be really hard to work.
The button lock is kind of weird - it does exactly what it is supposed to do, but it takes some getting used to.
The bottom line: This is a great knife to use as a daily carry. You might need to sharpen it up at first, but it seems tough as nails and should serve you well for a long time.
Customer Review: A Nice Knife
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice knife. It is bigger than I had expected from Amazon's description, but that's OK. It's too big to carry in a pair of slacks, but it's great for work. The mechanism works great and the blade is good. I bought another knife-much smaller- to carry in my dress clothes.
