- Great Knife
- Gerber has always made a quality product and this knife is no exception. It is a great little knife that I have carried on my kit off and on for years. The very sturdy plastic sheath is extremely versatile and can be mounted in just about any position on your Molle gear. The adjustable tension feature on the sheath is great too, because it keeps the knife secure at any angle but still provides a smooth draw. A great knife and well worth the price. You can expect years of service from this blade.
The photo is an accurate representation of the knife. - 2008-10-06, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not as pictured
- If the knife had been as pictured, it would get 5 stars. The Guardian (and the Mark I & II knives) has always been a nice knife, with classic 'sword-like' blade lines and extremely sharp. However, look at the knife in the picture, and imagine that someone has taken a grinder to it and ground the blade to where it now looks like a triangle, with straight lines from the hilt to the point and a ridiculously large and obtuse bevel instead of the acute and classy bevel of the original. Yuck. The only excuse to ever do this to a knife would be if you chipped the blade and had to reshape the blade to hide the fact (and then sell it at a garage sale for $5). Nowhere near worth the asking price. If you are a secret agent and want to use this for taking out one of the opposition, it might not make a difference, but if you just like knives and want one just to have one, find an older model; you'll be much happier.
