Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gerber (A Fiskars Company) put out some of the best knives for the money in the market.Fiskars is my favorite scissors company and everything I've used of their stuff is top notch - so this is a good combo.
I have this knife in the partially serrated version.It is 8.75" long when open, 5" when closed, and the blade is 3.75".If you have the serrated model, the first 1.5" is serrated.The remaining smooth blade hones nicely and stays sharp.Gerber 650 &Portland, OR U.S.A are printed on either side of the blade.
The grip is exceptional.The Kraton handle is very tough and offers superior traction and grip with it's rubbery feeling alligator finish.It has a notch for the index finger and the butt curves down to fit your other fingers very comfortably.It feels like a part of your hand when you hold it and is balanced nicely for a folder.It simply stays in your hand when you want it there.
The lock is solid with a lever-lock cog/pin system in the backside.The cordura/nylon belt sheath has a velcro closure that has some adjustability to it.Mine is several years old now and I still love this knife.For this price, it's an amazing buy.There are knives that cost 3 or 4 times as much that don't feel nearly as good.The steel could be a little harder, but it holds its edge admirably.
They came out with this over a decade ago and you can still find it and it's popular.I think that says a lot.I haven't used the ones with the hook point (sinew cutter for hunting, cutting rope etc.) but they seem virtually identical.
The only thing this knife is missing is an ambidextrous notch for quick opening.I give it 4.5 stars, rounding up for price/performance ratio and fantastic quality and grip.
