Review of Gerber 22-47167 Trendy Folding Clip Knife with Fine Edge and Black Onlay

I originally purchased this knife to help me at work with opening parcels and packages, undoing those plastic ties. The blade that comes out is very sharp, and has not dulled in the several months I used the knife. I am still able to slice through a thin piece of paper with very little effort.

The blade is indeed short, and because the handle is not much bigger, people with larger hands will probably not enjoy using this knife. Otherwise, aesthetically it is very pleasing, a minimalistic knife with a simple design, and a clip that does not make the knife too bulky. Everything is anodized aside from the blade edge, giving it that dull look to make it less noticeable. You can clip it into your jeans easily and forget it's there. With other knives, the plastic accents have fallen off after moderate to heavy use, but mine have not budged since- proof of Gerber's fine craftsmanship for even their lower end knives.

The knife blade is secure in both closed and open position. There is a solid, good click to indicate that the blade is locked in either position, and the blade will not open or close accidentally once in place. This is a two handed open knife, and I do not believe you can mod it safely to become an assisted open, as there are no catches in place, and the blade's size and weight is not conducive to a flick open. Therefore, this knife is strictly utility use only. (Plus, if you were going for a self defense knife, you should probably get something with a larger hilt to hold comfortably)

At the moment my knife sits to the side of my desk, but it still sees a lot of use, and has not let me down yet. I've had this for almost three years and it still looks brand new.
