Gear US1 Pocket Knife - Plain Edge Blade Folding Knife - EDC Gear and Equipment - Grey

I purchased this for a very specific reason: I go for trail runs and wanted a small lightweight knife for my pocket. I have been nervous about going into the woods without at least a small blade and means to make fire, so I wanted this as an "ultra light" survival kit. I have other "pen knives" that would not be much use in the woods; they can't do much beyond cutting tape. I also have larger folding knives (Spyderco, etc.), fixed-blade knives (Mora) and multi-tools (Leatherman) that are just too heavy for my pocket when running. This item fits the bill, especially for my specific needs. I should add that I was able to grind/file off the jimping on the spine and make a good ferro rod striker; I use it (knife closed) with a 2" x 1/4" small ferro rod, tied on with some shock cord. Between these two items I was able to easily make a feather stick from white pine and strike some natural tinder for a fire. No, it is not as good as my Mora, but it will do in a pinch, which is exactly what I needed. (Yes, I could use a mini bic butane lighter, but I just prefer a ferro rod, and having a knife is a plus!) The knife clocks in at 33 grams (1.2 ounces) on my food scale after my little grinding job, so the product description "rounds down" but I am not complaining. The entire blade was sharp when it arrived, and didn't even need to be touched up. The locking mechanism is solid, the action is smooth, and I think I could open it with one hand pinching the blade between two fingers, though I will probably always choose two hands for safety on this one! So this was the perfect knife for my needs. Obviously, your needs may be different!

Love this little knife. I have it in my pocket always. Very versatile, light weight and holds an edge.

Great little blade at a great price! Picked up 2 and gave one as a gift!

I love this knife. Lightweight, spine lock ( I don’t like those liner locks), sharp. It doesn’t have a roll pin for easy one handed opening, but you can do it if you practice because of the cutout in the handle. I had an identical one for years but lost it.

The size is perfect to cary in a pocket. I own a small ranch feed 20+ horses every day. Having to open bales of hay everyday. The razor box cutting knifes do the job but are bulky and not easy to carry around. So I got this small knife to fix the problem. It works great, fits in the hand really well. My only issue it doesn't have anything to help open the knife. You can't whip it out with one hand. You pretty much have to use a second hand to open it.

Gerber is always good.

Have been using this knife more lately and saw the price went up to over $20, it was less than $15 when I bought it. I don't use this knife every day, but it's in my pocket nearly every day. Negligible weight, fits next to my keys and change pocket in jeans and adds no noticable bulk or weight. Shaving sharp out of the box, I have never sharpened it and while it won't shave hair right now it is sharp enough to scrape wood off of my hatchet handle to remove the factory finish. I could clean an entire deer or hog with this thing if I had to, and the shorter blade would be good for getting in tight cavities and the rubber grip will help with blood. Speaking of the grip, others said there's has come off after a few years. Mine still looks factory new, while I don't use this knife all day/every day for work or anything I believe it will hold up much longer than the year I've had it. And it's a Gerber, last time I had a problem with a broken multitool they replaced it as soon as they could (it even broke from user error and they still fixed it). I usually don't give 5 star reviews for anything but Gerber did a great job with this USA made little knife. 4.5/5* cause I would probably not spend over $25 for such a small knife but that's what it will be selling for next year. *Nov 2021 and it's $26.16 now

In my opinion this is the best small pocket knife. Small, light and American made. I bought five for myself and gifts for my son in laws.

Messer etwas schwer zu öffnen gewesen öel tran alles ok , Messer liegt gut in der Hand Gummischicht am Griff Klinge sehr scharff ,kein wageln der Klinge wer ein gutes nicht ser großes Messer sucht für kleine schneitsachen auf arbeit ist mit dem Gerber genau richtig preiß ok kauf nicht bereut.

Produto de péssima qualidade, não é o produto descrito no anúncio. Anunciam como Gerber, mas enviam essa porcaria de western.

Léger maniable, je l'oubli même souvent et il fait des tour de lave lingue.

Es practica y de calidad ,ligera y muy útil.
