Review of Gerber 22-07162 Fast Draw Spring Assisted Opening Stainless Steel Fine Edge Knife

The pros;
.open assist is fast and works well
.weight
.clip is in a good position at the end , tip up
.price
.easy carry for use asan EDC knife, very compact
cons;
.steel is way too soft and blade is too thick of a grind for this small of a knife, the serrated grind is also has too deep of a cut pattern for my liking
.constant dulling in use. No mention of steel type either, my guess 440c, or AUS6. My Fire/ Rescue Gerber has a better steel quality,but that was made in the USA, this is Taiwan.
. grip needs more roughness,slippery when wet, [you can do some changes yourself there]
. for my hand it is too small of a handle for medium to heavy EDC utility use
If the steel was better it would be an acceptable knife. If you buy it and like a really sharp knife that will stay that way in reasonable use do not buy this. Kershaw Leek,Blur, SOG Trident, have AUS8, much better steel. My Leatherman New Wave has CM154 and is excellent in edge hold and sharpness, that is a great steel choice also, hardly ever sharpen those blades.
