Review of Gator, Drop Point, 154CM, Plain

I wanted a knife with a premium steel blade. The Gator, with its 154cm steel blade seemed to be such, and at a reasonable price. The blade is very nicely made, as is the rubbery grip. But the blade moves slightly inside the grip. That is, when you press down on the knife for cutting, the blade moves slightly but noticeably backward within the handle. This is not side to side motion as might sometimes occur (there is none in this knife). The motion is as if the knife wants to open just a little further than normal as you press down on it. It's not a big big deal, but it definitely subtracts from my liking of the knife.

Just spoke to Gerber Blades (2/13/08) and they said to send the knife back. I will update this review pending the results. Also, the blade definitely says '154cm' on it, not ATS-34 as listed here.

March 5: Gerber returned a brand new knife which has exactly the same problem. I guess that's how they all are. I like the blade so I will live with the small discrepancy.
