seems cheap,the seller has good feedback suggestions needed

Hi there, Goonda.

I bought one of these and I will upload a picture of that in a minute. These are essentially made in China and will not have the warranty that the customers in the US enjoy. (Or not)

I have ordered from these guys before and the first one was a disaster -- it was a neck knife and it came in all wrong, but well, it's E-Bay. I moaned and bitched about it to them and got a little promised discount, which I still haven't got. So you gotta grin and bear it.

So here it is:

This knife came pretty sharp in a crap package, but then most of them do. So don't go by it. It is what they promise -- it is a flipper, so if you are used to assisted-opening knives, lose no heart. It is flashy and fine. And the serrations are VERY sharp, but the sharpening of them can be a bother, as most people here will agree. It is not something which you will want to carry in your jeans pocket, since it is a sorta large and heavy knife, even with the clip -- if you wear tight jeans, sitting down with this pocket in your knife is going to be a bother. So then.

The locking feature works fine and is sort of something I am not used to -- you got to push a button down to engage the linear lock.

The tanto tip they promise looks pretty slim, and I will attach a picture of that as well. Looks like it will break off with pressure but I like my design and I am not willing to experiment, since I spent $$$$ on it.

Overall, it is a skinny knife and will feel odd in your hand if you are a large person; inadequate even. Buy it only for snob or show-off value.

Hope that helps.

Hello goondasmani,

Really a nice gerber knife at a cheaper price..Do they sell original brands?

yes it seems genuine but i posted so some experts would help but no reply till now

Outdoor travel gear has genuine Gerber products. I have personally purchased online from them as well as from their store in Mumbai. The only issue with them is that being mainly a store for bike enthusiasts, the stocks of knives tends to run low a bit from time to time. Else, I am perfectly satisfied with the stuff I got from them (one knife, two multitools, and one Bear Grylls survival kit for the kid).

A note on Gerber: for some reason all Gerber knives I have purchased (above plus one bought earlier from knife center) had to be sharpened. They were not shaving sharp out of the box. Might just be one-off cases, though.

thank you essdee

Fro any outdoor survival trips, I do believe that the Gerber hunting knives are perfect which I have seen the bear grylls hanging around with.

Err.... Harshit, correct me if I am wrong, but my impression was that Bear Grylls carries a Parry knife??

Might be Bear grylls carry the parry knife also.

The Parry knife is around 350 USD. Bear can carry it, he must be earning a lot from his shows! And since it was designed by another British SF guy (Warrant Officer Mel Parry, 22 SAS), he just might have got a huge discount!! But it IS a fantastic knife. http://parryblade.com/

Surely the bear grylls can carry any knife and at any cost and there is not= doubt about that. But here I am mentioning that Gerber is one of the brands which is used by bear grylls for its shows.

Yup, Harshit, he did carry some Gerbers for some of the shows. Overall, however, Gerber doesn't have very good reviews online. But, we stay in a scarcity economy with a vampirish government, i.e. no choice!
