- Not the prettiest knife I've ever owned
- I was a little disappointed about the sharpness out of the box. A couple of swipes on a sharpening steel changed all that. Like I said, this is not the prettiest knife I've ever owned but it just shouts efficient tool. If you're right handed. I am and everything is right where it should be. With a little practice, the time from pocket to use is a matter of a second.
The blade is substantial and sturdy, I've used mine for anything from chipping ice to slicing up pork ribs.

- Matched set
- I bought the Mini quick draw first and was so impressed with it's feel and function that I bought it's big brother and I can say that I was not disappointed.
Gerber sends excellently sharpened blades from the factory. With only minor honing and polishing, this knife takes a truly frighteningly sharp edge and holds it for a very long time. The workings are a bit slower than the Mini due to the greater mass in the Quick Draw (Sr.) blade.
One of the complaints I've consistently read for both models of these knives is that they "can open in your pocket." I believe this to be Liberalistic Chicken Little'ism rather than any factual based experience.
Both blades must be opened approximately 30 degrees before they'll spring and there is a distinct CLICK in the locking mechanism JUST before this point is reached.
Certainly, one must be cautious with such an implement, but we do not need to create the impression of danger where there is none and only nominal "common sense" is required for safe function. - 2008-02-29, 12 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great pocket knife
- This knife has a safety switch, which you have to push up to open. You then can open it, and then the fun begins, with the spring-assisted opening taking over to flip completely open.
Because of the safety switch, this knife is less likely to open accidentally in a pocket than most knives.
This is a larger knife, with the handle that fits my hand nicely. - 2008-02-13, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- christmas gift
- My hubby loved this knife but he couldn't use it as a pocket knife because it opens so easily and with force ! He was like a kid with his first knife, opening & closing it. VERY SHARP !
