This is an incredibly nice knife. Its well made and very sturdy. Ive used this knife every work day for about 7 months now and its still just as sharp as when I got it. The blade as well as the Serrated part is incredibly sharp and makes it very easy to cut a variety of things. I highly recommend this knife!

Good knife. It is my carry knife and I use it daily for typical knife stuff. Definitely recommend it.

It came very sharp but the action for the safety latch was very stiff at first-- especially after the blade had opened. I have now opened and closed it about 50 times and it is manageable with one hand now. For the first 30 or so closings I had to use both hands to push on the switch to get it to unlock the blade to be closed.

I own the Gerber Applegate Covert Knife as well as this one. Although they are somewhat similar in blade and handle design they are also very different. This model has a very squared handle shape with visible metal liners. (The Applegate is smoothed rounded on the edges with the metal liners hidden within the handle) This model also has a lock button which has to be deactivated before opening or closing the blade. (The Applegate is a linerlock which flicks open with the least effort) The lock button in itself is not a bad idea since this is an assisted opening knife. The blade is sharp and well designed. A very nice complement to my other knives.

I cant say much bad about this knife. Its a little smaller than I imagined because I was comparing to the applegate combat folder that I already have. It works smoothly. Blade seems a little small compared to the handle but the dimensions are freely available. Havent used it much but I like it. The safety switch is kind of a hassle but mostly a non-issue. It performs exactly as it should and you shouldnt buy the knife if you dont want that. Id give it 4 stars as a EDC knife but 5 because it performs exactly as described. If you dont want the safety switch then buy another knife.
