Top Shelf assisted opening all-purpose knife
No Sheath, but it does not need it with the pocket clip. A little stiff to open at first, but a slight backing off on the star key center blade fastener took care of this with no problem. The weight is comfortable, and it holds an edge well. If you slick it up a few strokes on a razor strop after sharpening, hair falls everywhere. A very, very good multi-purpose knife I will be happy with for years, of that I am certain. The handle fits the hand well, and the black finish is more than durable. The locking mechanism is a breeze to release, and I'm very satisfied with it overall. I've been using Gerber knives for over twenty years, and they're as good for steak as they are for an assailant. Another fine Gerber product! 'Doc' E, 2013
