This was the best price I saw for this knife. It was ($) at Gander Mountain. Love the knife comes very sharp and well balance.

Great Value

This is an excellent design as it executes function and style beautifully. The straight blade is my choice as it is quicker to resharpen in the field. It has a thick full tang and would be hard to bend if used for prying or if it was batoned through a small log to split it yet not too thick as to make it too heavy. The grip gives a lot of traction and would not slip if wet . The steel is 420HC which is a great balance between corrosion resistance and edge retention.The blade is also ceramic coated and although my knife is new and hasn't seen hard use yet, I know that this coating will give it more longevity. The sheath really shines in it's ability to mount horizontally, or vertically in almost any configuration you can dream up. I only use the plastic part and not the nylon because it snaps in and stays so well that I haven't been able to shake it out when testing it,  yet it draws and resheaths easily with a "click" to assure you it's in.
      The most important value to me is that this knife is made in the good ole' USA and with personal experience is backed with a real lifetime warranty to assure you of your investment. That's the real value, they are proud of what they make and I know that Gerber will back their products with no hassle, they have a loyal customer in me for life. I own a lot of quality knives, but Gerber is my working man's go to workhorse. I know that there are more expensive steels out there (S30V,Elmax,D2,154CM) but they cost so much that you'll probably not use them outdoors, plus that would raise the cost considerably. The 420HC is a good all around steel with really good edge retention and tensile strength. Great job Gerber, you hit one out of the park with this model.

The sheath is what really makes it great.

The knife is beautiful and well made.  I can not give my view on it because it was purchased to give as a Christmas gift .  I am sure the person who will receive will enjoy it very much.
