Review of Gerber 22-41075 Aluminum Presto 3.0 Fine Edge Knife

Gerber 22-41075 Aluminum Presto 3.0 Fine Edge Knife

I like pocket knives. I think the shape of a blade can be beautiful, elegant, and sublime. Plus, I just always seem to need something to cut, scrape, or pry with. In the Army, I got in the habit of always having something handy for workaday stuff. In fact, I came back from Iraq with enough pocket knives in my footlocker to stop the customs inspecter in his tracks. Until he started laughing.

With my experience, I think this is a great knife for the price. Gerber has always made a good steel that seems to me to just take and edge and hold it better than anything else I've found in the price range. These knives come in plain edge or serrated (I prefer plain because I can sharpen the whole blade) and this specific line, the Presto, is an *assisted-opening* knife where you start the opening movement and a small spring helps it along. Check your local laws for legality.

Pros:
Great steel, takes an edge and keeps it.
Assisted opening.
Slim profile -- clips in your pocket (I keep mine next to my wallet).
Variety of options -- smaller blades, plain blades, serrated blades.
Good grip.

Cons:
Watch the lock button and learn to use it -- you don't want this opening in your pocket!

I gave one to my brother and he came back from a camping trip recently. He'd used his blade to hack at wood and make kindling and he showed me the edge was still sharp enough to pass the arm-hair test.
