Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This knife gives the immediate impression that it was stamped and then ground from a piece of flat stock, then shaped and tempered and finally sharpened.Certainly, this is not a forged knife.Needs sharpenting and honing very badly right out of the box.Gee, I wonder if Gerber didn't just mold a synthetic handle onto one of those 3-for-$12 trash "throwing" knives?
Profile in the plan (top) view is weak:It should be less triangular and more spear-plan, like every other dagger and dirk.Mine doesn't suffer from the hollow-grind reported by another reviewer, but it is a straight rhombus in cross section, rather than the curved taper of my old Gerbers and of the Appleby, Sykes and Fairbairn type knives that Gerber emulates.
The plastic sheath might be reasonable in use, by my first reaction after using it is that it is a $1.16 piece of hard plastic trash.The "adjustable" tension does not hold consistently, so I don't expect much from it.I'll have to make my own sheath.
In short, I was expecting a good quality small, useful sheath knife like my 1974 Gerber boot knife, but this fails on every measure.It's a big disappointment, Gerber.
