Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-06009 L.S.T. Drop Point, Fine Edge Knife

Customer Review: best for the price, could be better, what the heck, it's discontinued
Summary: 4 Stars

I have had a few of these knives that have been sacrificed to the fates (lost), friends, airport TSB folks and courthouse security through the years, and always liked 'em. Nothing will beat the original version with micarta scales which was the classiest knife Gerber ever made. When they changed the blade and put on the nylon handle, they made a great knife that was inexpensive, yet a near-perfect design. It still is, and I'm sorry they discontinued them.

That said, the review pointing out that whoever grinds these blades does so unevenly was dead-on. Out of five knives I purchased, all but one were very unevenly ground--double the bevel on one side compared to the other. Grind was fairly coarse as well. On an inexpensive knife that starts sharp and will be sharpened a lot as time goes on, it will probably even out. It does not give me a lot of confidence about Gerber's other Chinese-made knives that sell for more money than the LST's.

I would still recommend both the large and small LST for every day carrying, survival kits and a back-up knife when camping. It's just disappointing to see such a great concept and classic knife suffer from uncaring construction.

Weighing only 1.2-ounces, the Gerber L.S.T. Fine Edge Knife features a checkered fiberglass-filled nylon handle to ensure strength, durability, and a non-slip grip. The knife also features a drop-point blade with a convex curve bending towards the point of the blade that offers an ample amount of effective edge for slicing, making it an ideal choice as a hunting knife.

The Gerber L.S.T. was originally brought to market back in 1980 by Pete Gerber, who was the first knife creator to envision the merits of using all-synthetic materials in the handle. He and knife designer Blackie Collins aimed to deliver lightweight performance that had not been seen before in a knife this all-out rugged. The Gerber L.S.T. is a smooth operator with a mechanical action that feels satisfying when you open and close the blade. The 420HC stainless steel blade measures 2.63 inches, and the knife has an overall length of 6.2 inches when opened and 3.47 inches when closed. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
