I have owned gerber knives for the past 60 years. On a recent fishing trip I left mine in the boat we were renting. When I got home I immediately went online to find a replacement. These knives are great to have for an every day carry, reasonably priced and as long as you’re not cutting steel, they will hold an edge for any adventure that I decide to take. I still have my Gerber hunting knife from 1971 great knives no complaints

Not quite as beefy as the Gerber I'm replacing, but still a good knife

Have carried the Gerber US1 as my EDC pocket knife for the past two years. I give it a 9.8 score out of 10 simply because Gerber hasn't made the handle in orange or bright green handle so I can easily find it when I'm working in the field. It is very lightweight and slim yet comfortable with the finger notch in my XL sized hands when using it. This dude never cared much for the metal knife clips - the US1 is just the right size and fits into the watch pocket of my work britches. Never cared much The 2.6" blade has a very fine edge and sharpens quickly. Gerber states it's made in the USA - if that's the case, please consider a version with Red, White and Blue handle grips and I'll polka round the barn with the dogs for a week.

Gerber why are you not manufacturing this perfect little knife. I does everything a small pocket knife should do.
