Command performance/ Cheap price. 11/21/2007 Reviewer: Shadowdart...E-9 I have 4 randalls, including 2#14's...one saw and one not. I also have the Smithsonian Bowie and the discontinued Arkansas Toothpick(from my riverboat gambling days)he he , and I paid dearly for these knives. Yet the Gerber Shadow is in a class all it's own. Small, compact, and lethal with terrifying efficiency. Handguards are adequate and with adjustable release this knife is a B.M.W., amongst it's peers, in what I call a throwaway, indistructable dagger. Although I am on my third Guardian... I hate to lose these knives. They are so well made, durable, and stealthy... now that they come in powder coated black. I give my highest reccomendation. As for the record, I have never lost one of these knives...I know where they all are. Buy one while the price is right and you won't regret it. Shadowdart

Nice knife, sheath terrible. 08/31/2008 Reviewer: Seabee This is a well made knife. It has a nice edge with a very compact design. The sheath is bulky and does not do the knife justice.

A nice knife. 08/23/2011 Reviewer: Some Knife Guy This knife is small, almost exactly the same size as a Kershaw Leek. It takes a beautiful edge and is very secure in the hand regardless of its size. But it doesn't hold that edge very well. The sheath is a little bulky but its highly concealable because of its adaptability to each method of carry. I can keep it in my boot, or on my belt or on my pack and it makes no difference to the security of the knife.

Excellent knife! 08/12/2010 Reviewer: shadow Carried this knife with me in Iraq, has great weight and balance, and its very comfortable to grip and use. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick-grab knife.
