As with other Gerber knives, the Gerber 30-000176 Epic Knife, Serrated Edge arrives very sharp and has an easy edge to maintain.The weighting is handle biased and when held there is a thumb grip just in front of the handle which is well placed.This knife does not fall into the category of a large fixed blade, rather it is the size of a non-folding pocket knife (see photo comparison with the Gerber 22-01589 Big Rock Camp Knife).The sheath allows for mounting on either side (lefties or righties) and smartly secures the blade within.One weak point is the "sheath" due to the difficulty of pushing the blade into it without cutting blade-side of the sheath.I would guess that after 6 months to a year of use the blade-side of the sheath will be weakened because the blade nicks it as it is pushed in.This is the reason it is 4 out of 5 stars.
Overall, it is a good introductory knife for those who wish to have a small fixed blade, however do not be fooled as to its size.The Big Rock Camp Knife is a good alternative for those who wish for a larger cutting area.
