How many hinges does the blade have in it? The description says: *Knife Closed Length: 4.17-Inch *Knife Open Length: 17 Inch. :P

It doesn't have any, it's a fixed blade full tang just as the picture shows. it is about 17 inchs and does not fold or close. that description must just reffer to the handle which is about 4.17". that must of been written by a robot or an idiot. it is a quality tool / knife, highly recommend it... factory edge is sharp but expect to sharpen it and oil it and you'll love it.

The blade ALONE is 4.5 inches. The entire knife including handle is 9 inches. They are not short. They are normal looking sized steak knives and are the sharpest knives I have ever used. Amazing and stay sharp too!!!! Light weight and easy to handle, and hold. GET THESE!!!!

Whoever is working for Amazon and wrote that info messed up. The blade Is 7" and the rest is 5". But that really should be the least of your worries. It's such a badass blade. So happy I bought it for my friend. Buy it.

Measured on my knife: From the front of the handle to the tip of the blade is 3 3/8 inches. Actual cutting edge is 3 inches. This is a fairly heavy blade, about 1/8 inch thick at the base. The weight makes it very easy to open one handed, by a slight push out with the thumb, then a quick flick of the wrist.

In closed position this knife is 3.5 inches and 6 inches open. Great, great EDC knife!

It is 4" closed. If does make a distinct print on the outside of the pocket. I carry it in my pocket, but it is larger enough to carry in a case in the belt. I LOVE this knife, and I carry it in my pants pocket. BUT, I do not carry it when I'm wearing slacks, it will quickly wearout the pocket material of anything but dungarees, (denim)or thicker trail/hiking pants. It is large enough and solid to do serious work on the farm/ranch, and small enough to keep in the pocket.

Hi...the blade is 3 1/2 inches long. I had to buy our 3 children each one of these knives after they used mine. We all love it!

Length of blade is about 3-4". Overall length is about 6-7". It works well, but I'm looking for another opener that's a longer.

The short answer is it's a BIG knife. I have been meaning to actually measure it for you, but I can't seem to remember when I'm home. My apologies. The handle is about 3-4 inches long as it fits well in my hand and I have tiny hands. I would estimate that the blade is about twice that from hilt to tip, so 7-8 inches.

I don't remember exactly, it was too small for my taste, I'm more of a right on the boundaries of what's legal to carry in public, blade length wise. But I think it was like 2 or 2 1/2 inches. It just felt like a key chain knife in my hands, so I sent it back. It was even awkward to flip out the blade with the thumb knob there was so little handle to hold on to. Gerber is a really high quality blade company though, there is another pocket knife that looks kinda like that which is also made by Gerber on Amazon that I ended up getting and has a longer blade and handle that I carry everywhere it's a great durable knife.

The blades are generally three fourths inches wide. At the hilt, it is not quite 5/8 inches wide. I have used this knife a lot and I'm glad I bought them.
