Gerber Folding
What Is The best Type Of Gerber Knife?
im buying a gift for my husband and im not really all that sure about knives. my husband has mentioned that gerber knives are good so i was wondering what is the best pocket knife or folding knife made by gerber
NO! Many people buy Gerber just for their name. In reality, they’re mediocre in the fit and finish department (some are fine) and use bad blade steels (dulls quickly, resharpening is difficult) but you can get a lot better for the price range. It depends on what he wants. Does he want a folding knife or fixed blade? Does he want a locking knife, or a gentleman’s non-locking folder? I’m assuming he’s not taking this to some hardcore survival wilderness camp. It all depends on your budget. If he wants something to carry around on a daily basis, you have:
Spyderco Tenacious, Manix 2, Persistence, Resilience, Byrd line, Delica, Endura, Military (I especially recommend a spyderco- steel is good and the opening hole, although strange looking,functions great)
Kershaw Leek, Chive, Skyline, OD-2, Junk yard dog, damascus skyline
Kabar Dozier
Cold Steel Voyager, Spartan, Recon 1, Pocket Bushman
SOG flash, twitch
Ontario Rat 1
Benchmade 710, Griptillian, Mini Griptillian, Ritter Grip
Emerson Commander
Sanrenmu 710 (bargain priced chinese knife, good little thing for around $13. This is if you really don’t want to spend that much. Otherwise, ignore this.)
If he likes traditional style knives, look up Case knives. A stockman or whittler pattern is very useful, but these are in the range of 50-90 bucks. IMO, still worth it. (and they’re made in the US with great steel,too.)
If you’re going really cheap, look up rough rider folding knives. Will last quite a while, and the best knives I’ve seen come out of China. The difference between these and the American made ones are that the steel on the Americans’ hold an edge better, and will last longer.
Most of the knives I listed will seem a bit pricey. IMO, it’s worth it- I have to use my knife daily, and I all my suggestions are from experience (yes, I actually do spend that much on knives.)
PS: If you, by any chance, have a $300 budget, get him a Chris Reeve Sebenza. I know, you probably won’t drop that much money on a knife, but I’m just putting it out there that the Sebenza is classic perfection.
