## Description

The pivot lock allows for smooth, one-hand operation when closing the knife, an additional slide lock safety acts as a secondary lock for added security. A finger flipper intuitively springs the blade into use with the aid of the assisted opening mechanism. The anodized aluminum handle is available in multiple colors with a lanyard hole and 2-position pocket clip allowing for either left or right carry. The drop point blade is available in plain edge or serrated.

Review: Best pocket knife ever - I’ve gone through many pocket knives over the years. I always have one in my pocket and use them for way more than they are intended. My last one had I gone through 6 of the same knife as I beat on them a lot. That knife got discontinued and I was looking. I bought 6 or seven knives until I found this. I love the spring assisted index finger opening. I’ve never really liked a serrated blade, but the half serated feature is pretty nice. This knife is super strong and durable. I waited 4 months before my review. I love the knive. It fits well and the bit of mass is nice. Now, I had to make a few modifications to make me love it. A pocket knife does not have a belt clip as that got caught on my pockets and added unnecessary bulk. I cut that off with a grinder and that solved my problem. The next problem was the safety feature on it. A little thing you have to hit to allow the knife to open. What a total pain in the ass. I assumed it was a cheap piece of plastic and I could just break it out - WRONG. It was solid metal and a bitch to remove. I went through two drill bits to drill it out, then pried it off. Since then, I love the knive. A big change from previous ones, although a higher price point. I was used to the $12 knives. I’ll never go back.
Review: Not for babies - Gerber, the name speaks for itself. Great quality knives (and other things) at a fair price with a great warranty. This thing is sharp, feels good in the hand, opens quickly and easily. The only issue I have is with my hands/fingers and the locks. The safety lock isn’t really an issue with the exception of being annoying to me, but the lock itself I have issues with as you have to slide both sides back at the same time and my hands don’t like that. Otherwise I have no other issues or complaints, it’s not the knife, it’s me. I would recommend this knife. The price was right, got shipped out and received quickly. I’d buy it again for a gift for someone. Nice knife.
