Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Reliable and durable. On nye, 2021, my van was broken into. Thus adding that sentimental value to it.

It’s a burly knife and a great work knife. This is an affordable knife that is well suited for rescuing kids from cowboy bob knots and self defense.

Strong and powerful knife with a great design for those who use a more traditional grip. Liner-lock and thumb stud allows for one-handed use. The width of the blade and shape of the grip is spot on.

The gerber freeman model is one of my all time favorite gerber knives. The tanto blade is a striking feature i like in a tactical knife. Pocket clip keeps my knife secure and a plus.



Cons

It turns out, gerber had not applied any threadlocker to the clip screws. If you fling the blade open, the lock over rotates and locks the blade. The pocket clip is so strong it feels as if you're going to rip your pants putting it on.

Love the blade but ergos and tightness of operation are sub par for me. Fatal flaw is the locking mechanism. Will be returning this knife.

It would be overpriced at a dollar store.

Only reason for 4 stars is that i replaced it with one i previously owned that held an edge better, but i still think that it’s...  Read More


This is a good value in my humble opinion.

Competitiveness


The hole for your index or pinky finger is perfect for securing the knife, the width of the blade and shape of the grip is spot...  Read More
