I had no real issues with Gerbers. I carried them daily for years until I graduated to Benchmades; that was back around 1997. So obviously my familiarity with current Gerbers is not immense.

They seem to feel a bit flimsier than Benchmades to me, with a definite "angular" grip feel. Some might say that's an apples-to-oranges comparison; I'd agree. I was not at all impressed by their multi tool, I'll say that. It was very oddly engineered compared to a Leatherman.

I look forward to your review.
