First up, durability. After 12-18 months of use, it's got some pitting in the blade edge, some noticable blade play in all directions, and a slight stickiness to the liner-lock. Due to the somewhat unique bolt design, tightening the blade screw doesn't help very much. The handle is quite robust however. Surprisingly scratch resistant and only a couple small dents. 8/10 on durability. Handling and Versatility next. This is a REALLY lightweight knife, and the balance suffers from it. The center on balance on this knife is ~quite~ deep in to the handle, and is demarcated by a change in the printed texture. This is very much a simple, 'one-job' type of knife. Great for fishermen, or maybe someone who works in a shipping warehouse. And while it is a simple knife, it is a great one. The straighter edge makes it VERY easy to sharpen, and while the handle is a very boring shape, the ergonomics are undeniable. VERY smooth deployment, reversible pocket clip, AND a reversible deployment tab. A generous 9/10 on Versatility and handling. This was a very reliable knife when I was using it, and I trusted it enough to give to a loved one after I was done with it.

Sharp point, good priced, light, sleek, and elegantly stylish.

Best knife I’ve ever owned, seriously! The blade holds an edge extremely well, I love shape of the knife. Super ergonomic feel in the hand. Opens easily. I’ve done everything from skinning squirrels to cutting steak with it. It’s amazing and comes in at a price point that doesn’t make me scared to use it!

Purchased 2years ago. Pros: nice size. Good feel. Solid liner lock. Fits in pocket well. Opens easily with thumb flick (but maybe too easily). Cons: blade doesn’t seem to hold an edge. Dulls with minimal use. Blade came dull. Had to sharpen before first use. Blade opens in pocket. Needs a little initial friction/spring to hold blade closed. Overall good knife for price but needs a little improvement to be great.

I was gifted the pledge the christmas 2024. Being a creature of habit, I have always carried a case yellow handle trapper, I put the gerber in my night stand drawer. About four or weeks later I was headed out to spread bedding and fodder to the chickens and decided to take the pledge alongdue to the fact it opened easily with one hand. I still carry my yellow handle, but i also carry the gerber clipped to the inside front pocket of my blue jeans. The gerber doès all the work because it deploys with one hand, its sharp as a razer, and its tough; besides if I break it gerber warrenty has my back. I'm 69 years old and set in my ways, but just maybe an old dog can learn a new trick!
