awesome knife 12/24/2009 Reviewer: David I like this knife because it is very strong and sharp right out if the box.I got the etching done to it and it is well worth the small charge,it personalizes something that will probably last forever. The handle is smooth and not a very good grip,but the shape of it keeps it in your hand very well. You can put a lanyard on the handle if desired. Overall this knife seems to be very well made and very useful in many situations.:)

Great knife 10/09/2010 Reviewer: mattyb I had this knife all through my first deployment to Iraq and I couldn't have had a better knife to rely on I just wish I still had it. Set it down and a pair of sticky fingers relieved me of it. I guess thy needed it more than I did.

great knive!!!! 06/22/2007 Reviewer: Travis this is a beautifully crafted knive. i got it only 3 days after i ordered it, with regular ground shipping! the blade is razer sharp, and crazy strong. when i was in one of my cornfields, it sawed through a cornstalk like butter.the only thing is the handle is very smooth, and does not have very good gripping. overall, a great knive!

Great Knife 05/18/2008 Reviewer: Merchant Sailor I've used this knife as my boat knife for the last year. I'm still yet to see a spec of rust on it despite constant emmersion in salt water without rinsing it off. Holds a great edge and has a sweet handle.

Great Field Knife 05/09/2008 Reviewer: Hammer Man I have carried this knife for over a year and it has met my expectations and passed them on many occasions. I lost it by accident in a wet crawlspace and did not recover it for 3 months. No corrosion or stains. This is a knike id be pround to pass to my kids

great knife 03/31/2009 Reviewer: crair I've had this knife for a little over 4 months and I am incredibly impressed with it. Tough, sharp and good in a pinch; this is a knife I will keep on my belt for years to come. Gerber has always been a trusted name as far as I am concerned, but this particular tool goes above and beyond what I expected. Buy it, use it, love it. -crair
