Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-06009 L.S.T. Drop Point, Fine Edge Knife
Customer Review: Gone downhill
Summary: 3 Stars
I am uploading 2 pictures to show the current state of Gerber's manufacturing skill. This knife used to be much better.
Near the tip of the blade, the edge grind is horribly one-sided.
Near the base of the blade, the edge has been ground nearly 1/8" more than necessary. It almost looks like it had been used for years and re-sharpened.
Long ago, this knife had a small raised area inside the handle on either side of the blade, simulating a washer. This prevented the visible portions of the blade tang from rubbing against the handle, which on the new version is producing scratches. It's purely cosmetic, but I don't see why they would have changed this for the worse.
It also used to include a pocket clip which could be attached if you preferred, but now does not.
Customer Review: fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
this pocket knife is great. inexpensive, easy/open close, light weight and super sharp. i just have to carry a pocket knife (doesn't everyone?) and was looking for something new after carrying mini swiss army knives for years (and replacing them every 4-6 months!). i have very few "must have's" in this regard:
1) pocket sized (obviously)
2) light
3) sharp
4) durable
it's a little larger that i wanted (i prefer something about the same size as my flash drive), but it's been absolutely stellar thus far. the drop point is great for cutting boxes open and liberating the odd hard drive jumper. the grip is sure, the lock secure, and the blade has held it's edge extremely well. well done gerber.
Customer Review: Excellent everday knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I first purchased one of these knives several (3 or 4) years ago, and that very same knife is in my pocket now. It lives up the the Gerber name, being a very high quality, lockback pocketknife. One of my favorite features of this knife is that it is very thin and barely noticeable when in your pocket. For those of you who like to have a pocket clip, mine came with a removeable one that fits into the landyard hole at the bottom of the handle. It does a good job holding an edge, I had to sharpen mine fairly often because of the heavy use it recieved. This is a very reliable, high quality knife, and I recommend it to anyone who needs a knife to carry every day for those odd jobs that pop up.Customer Review: Excellent utility knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased one of these knives in 1985 at Ft. Benning Georgia. That same knife is in my pocket today and has traveled from Arctic climates to the tropics. It is a very handy little blade for simple, everyday cutting chores. I own several expensive, well known "tactical" folding knives, but for everyday practicality this one cannot be beaten, especially for the price. My original cost $8.00 new, and I bought a second one as a spare a couple of years ago. It usually sits in a drawer because the original one is still going strong! I just bought my third for a gift to someone and I expect they will have it as long as I have had mine.Customer Review: Worlds Handiest Pocketknife
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my first one over years ago; finally wore down the blade from misuse and sharpening.I immediatly got another five years ago and have used it for everything including cleaning several deer.This one is even better than the first. I own over fifty "using" knives, and other than the times when a fixed blade knife is needed, this is the one I choose and use. The quality of the steel and design are all out of proportion to the price. Get one, use it and enjoy a high quality knife that is easy on the pocketbook and easy to carry. PS: My "belt" knife is a Gerber tool.
