Great knife.  Sheath could be better.

The knife is awesome.
- It's light
- Razor sharp
- Great grip
Not much more I can say about it.  If you like the look you will not be disappointed.

The sheath on the other hand leaves a bit to be desired.
- Since the knife is a little large to be worn as a neck knife it would be nice if it came with some type of belt/pocket clip.
- Granted it is advertised as a neck knife so there is no reason it should come with a clip but it would be really nice if it did.
- The insertion of the blade can be a bit clumsy and awkward.  It's a bit narrow and it needs to be but inserting the blade smoothly without it catching is a bit difficult.

All in all I am happy with the knife and I'm glad I made the purchase.

Really impressed with the quality of the knife.  Good, solid, full tang blade and the grip surface is more than adequate especially for the price.  Sharpens up well too.  The sheath however is crap.  It's obviously just 1 that they use for several different blades.  It is oversized and does not hold at the handle very well because of the size difference.  I'm only giving 3 stars because it IS a fixed blade so without a dependable way to carry it it won't see much field use.  Would really liked to have had it come with a kydex sheath.  I'd have gladly paid a few extra bucks for that.

Great little knife! The finger-hold is an awesome fit. Yes, the blade arrives dull--you can actually feel the lumpy burrs on the edge--but, as other reviewers have said: sharpen it. My only criticism is with the sheathe, which ought to be made with a flap and snap that goes through the finger-hold to keep the sheathe in place (or a hard-plastic snap-on sheathe would be nice, too, but probably a lot more expensive). The "lanyard" is a cheap little bit of nylon cord, which the manufacturer should just do away with. Put that money toward a more useable sheathe, please! I put mine on a split-ring and carry it on my keychain (perfect size for this!), so do want a sheathe to protect the blade (and my hand/anyone I might absent-mindedly toss my keys to). For the moment a rubber band is sufficing to keep the sheathe from falling off, not elegant, but it seems to be working. For the price, though, the blade itself is totally worth it.

I was actually impressed with the fit and finish on this blade for the price. Out-of-the-box extremely Sharp. The sheath is an absolute piece of junk... But that's to be expected at this price point. Nice knife I'd buy it again.

great knife, quite sharp out of the box, It penetrated about 3/4-1" into the short side of a 2x4 with minimal effort for short strike(no wind up). the sheath is lacking(but adequate) expected that for the price.  Nice balance, little blade heavy, expected from a machete,  but it prob helps with the cutting action.

This is a great little knife. The sheath is a bit low quality, but I can overlook that. The knife itself is very high quality for the price. It will get easier to draw and sheath the more you do it.

Truthfully I want to give the knife a 4.5 review just because of the sheath, which I'll get in to later. The knife itself is very durable and built well. If you're looking for a knife that is functional and can handle the abuse of the back-country, look no further. I couldn't resist lashing it to stick and trying it out as a spear. Not only was that pretty dang fun but it also worked well. I could see how that would be handy in a survival situation for taking down small game. The only issue I have with the knife is the serrated edge runs half the blade. Now, that really isn't a big deal. A lot people would argue that the functionality of the larger serrated edge far surpasses any cons it my impose. I suppose I can't really argue with that, I just had a difficult time making feather sticks for fire with the serrated edge. Perhaps I just need to become a bit acclimated with this blade. Now the sheath, it's durable and can fasten to just about anything in anyway. But is is a bit cumbersome and overkill. It can be difficult to remove the knife from the sheath. The plastic clip is a bit tight but you get used to it. I wear my knife upside down on the shoulder strap of my backpack and because of that I am grateful for the secure hold. The field sharpener incorporated into the sheath is just that, a field sharpener. It's a great idea and when you need a quick edge refinement in the back-country it gets the job done. All and all I do recommend this knife. If you're in the market for a sturdy functional knife for a decent price, this is it.

Overall I like this knife. It is very good quality. I also like the sheath but have some issues with the way the blade goes back in after using it. Getting the blade into the center of the plastic insert is hit or miss. Another minor item,which doesn't affect the quality at all, is that when I opened the box the dye from the cardboard insert had stained the sheath. Over all though I would recommend this knife

Really like the knife. Utility blade style was a good choice for this as well as a locking blade. I would of given it 5 stars if the clip was a little sturdier. Haven't broken the clip tho

The knife itself is great and so far I have had no problems with it. The blade arrives reasonably sharp from the factory.
The sheath on the other hand requires a bit of work. The blade guard on the inside has a flap that sticks up and causes the blade to hang when inserting it. I remedied this by gluing the guard to the sheath so there are no loose ends. The sheath is also arrives too narrow to easily insert the blade. The problem is they way it is just looped the material around and stitched it. The loop takes up a lot of the width, but there is plenty of material. I just clamped the side of the sheath between a couple small boards, compressing the loop which increases the loop and the blade fits fine. Seems this could be easily done at the factory saving the customer the trouble.

A quality survival knife with excellent choil and a good feel when choked up in it. Only wish it was a better steel, and had a better sheath, but for this price, I can understand the slightly sub-par sheath. I do like how there are holes along the sheath though, as I can thread cordage through it and connect it to a belt or strap for easy carry.

I really like this knife. It's so handy and small that I carry it everyday.  It's also cheap enough where I don't mind losing it.  It's made well enough, it would be even better with a few changes.  The clip doesn't work well, it's very hard to get over anything so I don't use it. All of the screws were lose, but they were fine after I tightened them. There is one screw that serves a questionable function, but you would never know if you didn't take it apart. The angled, wide and straight blade looks cool, but is not as functional as a thinner curved blade. Even with these issues, this is a super functional knife and makes a fantastic tool.

I love this knife.  The handle feels good, and the blade profile is simple but appealing.  It was super sharp right out of the box, and I put it to work.  It was my trusty fishing knife for a long time before I dropped it in the lake.  Once, I needed to have it sharpened, and I took it to a guy who had a hard time putting an edge on it with his standard sharpener.  The steel was harder than some that he had worked on, but once he finally got an edge on it, it lasted for a long time.  I bought another one to replace the one I lost.  The sheath is nylon, and I usually just stuck it in the front pocket of my jeans.  I could pull the knife out without the sheath coming out as well.  However, I wore the sheath out pretty quick.  The biggest flaw is that it does not hold the knife very tightly, and there's no way to actually secure it, which is why there's one at the bottom of a lake. I'm going to have my friend, who does leather work, to make me a good sheath for this knife.  It deserves one.

Great knife for the money. Handle is a bit on the thin side. Could have been a bit more beefier for a more comfortable feel/grip.

The knife is everything gerber says.  The handle scales are a little thin but they are grippy and I wrapped mine with black 550 cord which makes it a perfect fit to my medium size 7 1/2 hands.  The blade is well cunstructed with a nice wide profile so it slices things like onions very thinly and with a good deal of consistancy and yet it is built with a strong drop point so it can even baton wood to start a fire and fry said onions.  And if you happen to say, build a trap with your Gerber Big Rock and catch a deer?  No problem, gut it, skin it, stake it, then in the pan it goes.  I have both the straight blade and the serated version.  I definately prefer the straight blade as the every day cary knife that lives in my back pack which goes with me everywhere.  I find it easier to sharpen quickly and I usually don't go around cutting much rope.  That being the case, the serrated knife lives on my pistol belt as my primary full tang fixed blade tactical knife.  The serated version also carries the 550 cord handle and lanyard.  The straight blade version has been kept the way it came to me.  Which reminds me that it came to me with a less than spectacular sheath.  Ok to be honest the sheath is just plain stupid looking.  It works but it would be better served if it came with the same sheath as the new Gerber Warrant tactical tanto.  For a well consructed full tang knife that cost me around $32 with shipping, I can't complain too much over a crappy sheath.  But I can give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The knife is a wonderful Damascus blade; very sharp and well finished.  The sheath though is another matter.  I had put it on my belt and wore it for about an hour, then sat down in a lawn chair. When I stood up, the knife fell out of the sheath onto the ground. One of the rivets came apart on the snap.  The sheath is a piece of crap.
