Gerber Gear Ripstop I Knife, Fine Edge [22-41614], Stainless Steel

It is the perfect size to carry and weighs nearly nothing. The blade is just the perfect length to do just about anything you need, unless of course you are Crocodile Dundee, or looking strictly for a hunting knife. The blade is high carbon steel and holds an edge for a long time. With it's un-serrated edge it can be sharpened the entire length. I really don't care for serrated blades unless it's on a steak knife. It came out of the package sharp enough to shave arm hair. While closed, the knife is just perfect for pocket carry without being bulky, heavy, or making your pockets bulge. I carry a lot of stuff with me at all times and I don't need any extra weight or bulk in my pockets. The only drawback is that it is so lightweight that you might not notice when you have forgotten to put it back in your pocket. When I say lightweight I don't mean flimsy. This thing is solid! Once broken in, it's a snap to open and close one (right) handed and locks into place securely. The finish isn't shiny or "chrome", so it keeps up it's appearance even if carried with other junk in your pocket. After years of carrying this knife, it still looks great and I still have people ask me to see it. I don't leave home or even put my pants on in the morning without this knife. You could buy a more expensive knife. I don't know what more you could get from spending more money since this knife does exactly what it's supposed to do. I've had some pretty expensive knives in my time and this cheap one performs well. If you're looking for a cheap knife that won't upset you if lost or broken, this may be a good option.

I'm 65 years old and I have carried a POCKET knife since I was a young child, as a TOOL not a Weapon. I'm sure I've owned 100's of pocket knives over the years but my favorite is the Champion SWISS ARMY knife that I carry on my belt. So why am I writing about this Knife? PICTURES HIGHLIGHT the OPEN and CLOSE features. NOTE: I removed the belt clip on both as I do not use it. When I'm dressed up or a knife hanging from my belt is inappropriate, I carry a small Pocket knife. This knife is so EASY TO OPEN via the DUAL RIVET or the LARGE FINGERNAIL SLOT accessible from BOTH sides. This knife has the EASIEST LOCKING Blade closing feature I've seen, without having to break a fingernail, you CAN use your THUMB and don't have to use your fingernail. This knife is so LIGHTWEIGHT, I forget it's even in my pocket. Quality, folks, it's a GERBER. NOTE: I had previously purchased a slightly SMALLER Gerber model, but the FINGERNAIL Opener was too Small, only on one side (for me, the wrong side) and I was always breaking fingernails trying to release the blade closure function. This model fixed both of those problems. GERBER, Wake up and pay attention to the end user comments. For Christmas I bought 3 more for my 3 Adult sons, just like my Dad did for me Decades ago.

-Pros- I am very pleased with this knife. The blade doesn't bend or wobble at all, it is built very well. The para-frame design is easy to clean as others have said. The finish is alright, might get smudgy if you look close but a knife is meant to do work right? It's perfect sized and lightweight enough to carry in your pocket comfortably. -Cons- Others have said that this knife is extremely sharp. Just to be clear, out of the box this knife will cut things if you try to cut them... but razor-sharp this is not. If you compare this knife out of box to a hand-sharpened razor-sharp knife (sharp enough to shave hair) this is dull by comparison. I tried to sharpen this blade with my stone but due to the short blade, and the placement of the thumb-stud... it's nearly impossible to properly sharpen without removing the thumb stud. I got a decent edge of the last 2/3's of the blade, but the part of the blade closest to the handle will have to stay dull unless I can figure out how to get the thumb-stud off. Just wanted to say that this is a great knife, looks good, sturdy, and I would recommend this knife to anyone. However, it is NOT razor-sharp, or anywhere close to it.

Love this knife, this is my second one.
