What reviewers say

We found few independent reviews. Retailer and maker copy focus on the push-button blade release, which Gerber says is safer than many rival systems. The few owner ratings we saw were positive. Like all scalpel-style knives, the thin blades are for skinning and caping, not prying or chopping.

Good

  • Very light at 1.3 oz
  • Orange handle is easy to find if dropped
  • Uses common #60 blades
  • Tool-free blade changes

Not so good

  • Thin blades can snap if twisted
  • Few owner reviews so far
  • Not a general camp knife

Who it's for

Deer and small game hunters who want a cheap, razor-sharp skinning knife in the pack. Pair it with a sturdier knife for heavier work.
