so good i wrote a review 06/22/2009 Reviewer: masterbenny san i have never written a review online, but this is the best pocket knife i have ever owned. i still have the one i bought 4 years ago and i use it every day. it is very durable, is a good work knife, holds an edge, is easy to sharpen. i also do martial arts and this functions extremely well as a personal protection knife- balanced, comfortable grip, blade length is within legal limits, blade is not shiny, the action is smooth. i am buying 4 more- three for my friends and one more for me. gerber needs to make this a permanent model in their line. it is the best knife overall that i've ever owned. i bought it at wal-mart for like 30-40 bucks. the only thing i would change is the direction of the pocket clip. the designer of this knife should get recognition.

Best knife for everyday use 03/19/2009 Reviewer: KNiFeR I have owned 3 different blades of this model, only because I lost the original. Perfect for everyday use and can put a mean edge on it!

2 suggested mods 01/18/2008 Reviewer: ELSORDO This is a beautiful knife in need of two small changes: 1. The thumb studs are too small! 2. The liner lock does not always go full on when the blade is opened. This may improve with wear but my thumb is sore.

Geber knives 01/17/2009 Reviewer: Rob K This is a pretty rugged knife, I put it through some severe duty and it never fails, sure beats the E-Z out and I really liked that one. Could use the spring assist feature in this body though.
