Most utilitarian knife

I use this knife for everything, including cleaning fish, field dressing deer,cutting cable ties, you name it. As others have said, the thinness is the greatest feature, you don't know it's in your pocket. Durable as well, love it

Great

Drop in your pocket and forget until it's needed. Size goes well with a 1 x AA / 14500 light for super low weight, compact EDC

Great Blade

I love this knife due to its light weight and how thin it is. This lightweight blade cannot be felt in your pocket you never know its there until you need it. I have both the 2.0 and the 2.5. I use them to cut things that will damage my nicer knives. I really love this knife design I find myself using it alot more than my high end knives due to the fact that it is not big and bulky and you do not know it is in your pocket. I will say it again I love this knife I have one of each size still in package put aside in case Gerber ever stops making it. I just wish Gerber would stop using crap for blade steel. I would put on my Superman cape and jump with both feet at a chance to buy this blade in s30v,154cm,VG-10,D2, or 1095.

A decent knife for edc

I use this as EDC. It fits perfectly in the coin pocket. To open it is a little tough though. It's hard to catch your thumb on the little opening to open the knife quickly.
