Cons: None

I had another Gerber knife but, lost it.

I had another Gerber knife before purchasing this one but, it was smaller and I lost it. It must have fallen out of my pocket when I pulled out my key fob. Oh well, one mans loss... I like this one just as well. It's a bit larger, I'm less likely to lose it carelessly. I hope so anyway. I have always carried a Gerber knife. Since entering the workforce. Then, I carried a large folding knife on my belt. It frequently came in handy in my work as a Plumber. Now retired, I carry one more out of habit. A small one. It still comes in handy but, not as often. I do keep my fingernails clean.

A great value for a lightweight knife

This is the knife I carry when I'm not working. It's thin, light, and solid, it opens and closes easily, it retains its edge very well, and it's affordable. I've not found a better alternative for the way I use this knife.

Great EDC knife

This great little knife has become my every day carry knife. It's a nice, lightweight knife that has half stops and locks back. It's also made in The USA. I really like it a lot and carry it always.

Pros: Weight, Blade Sharpness

Cons: None

excellent small folder

Opens smoothly (does not fall or flick open) and locks up tight. It came extremely sharp. The slightly overmolded sides make for a very comfortable grip. It's cheap enough to use and to not cry over if you lose it.

Cons: Pocket Clip, Sheath

Nice little knife

Knife is very sharp,light and has a non slip handle .Oddly enough the knife i have is perfectly balanced at the finger groove.My only suggestion would be a tension screw instead of a rivet for the blade.Mine isn't loose yet but if it needs service there is not much choice on how to do it.

A great knife for the money

This is one of the knives in my carry rotation. It is well constructed, the blade opens easily and locks open firmly, and it is thinner and weighs less than any of my other folding knives. It would be a great stocking stuffer for those looking for Christmas gifts.

Pros: Weight

Cons: Lock Ease of Use, Handle Material

dont bother

It is poorly made and the retention is so bad it can be opened with the slightest flick of the wrist making it illegal in many places. It's a good size and weight but that's about it. It's also way to expensive. So many good moves the same price or cheaper.
