Summary: 5 Stars
i recently bought one of prodigy knifes and love it looks, feel, and strenght. it quality # 1 i got mone for about 42.00 with shipping. the sheathe is real tuff and rugged, made of combo of sheath material rugged nylon cloth and case is just like klydel from ka-bar. this knife has a real outdoor tactical quality style to it it's definitly worth every dollar. the blade razor sharp and looks like it had a sharping job done to it , before they pack it for sales. it's the only knife you will really going to need out in woods or streets it has small end for breaking a car window in emergency and the handle comfortable but tuff. the prodigy defitily a real mans, man knife ready for just about any job or adventure.. i bought a 2nd one and then the camo tanto model very nices check them out and buy yourself one. thanks, michaelCustomer Review: Gerber Prodigy
Summary: 4 Stars
The thing I like about this knife is that it can be used for multiple things: cutting, chopping, sawing, hammering, and as a window punch. I think the size is perfect(a little smaller than the LMF2). The sheath is okay. Its starting to split a little around the top edge. It only comes with one leg strap(if that matters to you) but I use my belt for the top and the one leg strap for the bottom anyways. I wish it had a spot on the back of the blade that could be used as a striker for a fire starter. Its durable, the handle is comfortable, its easy to sharpen, and I like the weight of it. If you're looking for something that is bigger, heavier, and that comes with a great sheath(Integrated sharpener,two leg staps, and a saftey knife), then go with the Gerber LMF2 for about $25-$35 more. Hope you found this helpful.Customer Review: Great for the post-apocalyptic surviver
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife is made of some really good sturdy material. I recommend it for those who have to fight off groups of hungry flesh eating hordes of people when handguns or rifles are no longer being used. This helps with basic survival skills such as using a flint to start a fire or eating some rodent you just killed with it. The grips is made of a very good gripping surface so not to lose midstream battles. I also like the sheath that holds it very well and leg strap. Those two features help keep my knife with me at all times which is a necessity. I hate being the only one in an enviroment which I must survive with just a knife... one thing i do fear, is running into someone else who bought the same knife after reading this review....but who lives forever..

Customer Review: Ambidextrous Sheath
Summary: 5 Stars
Something I rarely see in a manufacturer's sheath for a fixed blade: the knife goes in both ways. This makes it (a) convenient for lefties, and (b) quicker to draw into what many consider the proper hold for defensive use - point down, edge forward. I know that others can be worn or carried somehow to improve convenience, but it's also nice to not have to consider the orientation of the knife when re-sheathing in a hurry. Also, as many others have stated, it's U.S. made, razor sharp, has a great grip, looks cool, full tang... etc. Amazing low price for a knife like this. It's now my favorite, even over my SOG's. At this price, it's worth buying even if you don't care much about knives - keep it in the kitchen for a steak knife, to impress (or scare) your guests...Customer Review: Just to add one more favorable opinion.

I just received the Prodigy bought here through Amazon, and have nothing but praise for it. I feel there are really no cons, other that the fact that I prefer a single guard on my survival knives, but that is personal preference. The only other gripe is those damn serrations Gerber feels it now must put on every damn knife they make; what is up with that? Why can't they offer non-serrated versions of all their knives. I feel serrations have their place, but I do not prefer them on my survival/combat blades, and many other survivalists agree.
Other that those two gripes (which can be argued are personal preference), I recommend this knife without hesitation. It is one of the greatest values available today in a high quality survival knife.
