large assisted opening combat blade. Good quality sharp blade that is getting better with use. Not the quality Gerber products used to be but still a good knife for the money

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS KNIFE !!!!!!!! I would give it a 10 If your scale went that high. This is my second one. I lost my first one over a year ago and I was devistated. I paid almost $100 two years ago and I felt it was well worth the $. I'm a chef and I only buy very good knives ( Shun , Wustoff ,Forschner, and Henkels) I always carry a pocket knife and this knife meets all the right criteria., style, durability ease of use, blade sharpness, weight and it's badass looking. Everyone that sees it wants one.I always send them to your website
