Gerber Profile Fixed Blade
By Bowman
I am pleased with the purchase. This was a nice knife for the price. What attracted me was the blade shape. Due to it is configuration, my thumb fits nicely in the raised portion of the blade. I experienced less strain on the thumb joint and permitted for more outstanding blade control. The sheath is made of ballistic nylon which I do not care for. The snap on the handle loop was broken when I received it. For a good deal of this may be an issue, but, I expended my cash for the knife, not the sheath. The textured rubber handles are a real plus for a sure grip. The blade is, of course, sharp right out of the box. Despite the sheath, I would commend this knife to others.

Worth it
By JetJagger
Just received this little beauty in the mail. It was shipped SHAVING SHARP (to my surprise). Though there was a very slight ding in the blade, I don’t see that as a fault of the knife itself but rather the manufacturer and/or OEM packager. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

HANDLE: Lizard-skin texture. Very comfortable to grip. Slip immune to the max. Easy to remove and clean or mod. Very big hands may only have a four-finger grip with an orphaned pinky.

BLADE: Wicked. Appears to be a little longer than what’s shown on the Amazon.com item image. Thick sufficient for EDC, light battoning and moderate bushcrafting (as a second knife).

BALANCE: 45% (cutting edge) / 55% (handle) beneath index finger upon normal grip.

WEIGHT: Just over white-collar EDC but in all likelihood light sufficient for blue-collar EDC. It’s surely no heavier than my Leatherman [new] Wave and perchance lighter.

SHEATH: Ballistic nylon with vinyl lining for belt loop reinforcement (nice touch). Snap rather of velcro (another nice touch). Sleeve tight sufficient to hold blade semi-secure without closing snap.

Overall the Gerber Profile feels like a more highpriced knife. I see this knife as a dependable pair of sneakers or loafers that you may wear each day. I may see my Gerber Profile getting a outstanding little camp knife second to my Gerber Big Rock (which is being shipped to me as of this writing).

Not for huge hands
By RoninUT
Got the knife home and tried cutting galore plain printer paper to test the factory edge. It snagged the paper in a few places, so I dressed the edge up on a diamond bench stone. It then sliced through the paper nicely. The knife is comfortable to wear in the factory sheath, but I’d like to see a horizontal carry option. Also, the sheath’s holding back strap is a typical little nylon webbing loop with a snap closure. It’s easy to get the knife out, but you might need two hands to snap it back in since the webbing is so flexible.

My greatest gripe in regards to the blade is the shape of the handle. When I grip the knife so that my hand is in a natural cutting position, my little finger seems to ride right on top of the last little “point” on the bottom rear of the grip. This makes for an awkward, uncomfortable grip on the knife.

Also, the front grip screw hole is located in the narrowest percentage of the tang, creating a potential weak point.

Overall, I think it will make an good field/utility knife, but I wouldn’t try to use it to baton wood. The untrue edge on the top of the knife ought to be an indicator that the manufacturer did not have batoning in mind when the knife was designed. I’d commend a 1/4″ thick blade for heavy obligation stuff like that.

I like the fact that the rubber handle scales are removeable (with a torx bit) and I think replacing them with a good deal of wood or micarta grips with a somewhat dissimilar shape could remedy the problem with the knife fitting huge hands. However, is it worth it to make habit grips for a $20 knife?

Overall, I like it. Good little knife for $20. It could be better, but for the price I’m satisfied.
