Gerber Collector Lonnie Robinson - MAY 8, 2012
This is a very well made knife. I really like the titanium body on this one. The assisted opening feature works very good on mine. It feels very solid in your hand. The blade is very nice and seems like it will hold up with no problem.

Better steel = near pocket perfection Cameron - MAY 6, 2012
Saw this on the front page and clicked on it straight away, such a great looking blade! Then I saw the steel...
Serious if this knife had an AUS 8 blade I'd buy it instantly, the tanto blade, button lock, assisted opening and real nice titanium finish set it apart from the Benchmade emissary and even Bradley Alias' because it really does look like a knife make to be used and abused
AUS8, VG10, 154cm, S30v, D2... it'd be great to see such an awesome design in a couple of really nice steel offerings
Also at the price this knife retails, the steel just isn't on par with the competition, and on paper if proposed, for example, a buck vantage pro in S30v and this, without seeing the pictures, just price and specs, I'm pretty sure that the buck would claim 99% of the buyers
Still a really nice blade, just a shame about the cheap steel...

I was sooo wanting this knife at first sight, then i read "Steel Type: 7Cr17Mov".
Say what?
Bump up the the steel type a couple of notches and it's a must have.

Better steel needed, especially since you are pairing it with a titanium handle! An aus8 or better steel for around $50-60 bucks and they will fly off the shelves

Closer, but still so far away. Matthew - APR 24, 2012
This design has so much potential it's a shame to see it going to production like this.
A ball-bearing pivot, titanium handles, and the button lock are all excellent. But why leave it there?
If you produced this knife with a better steel option (S30Vor VG10 or at least 154CM), in a useful blade shape without a tanto point or serrations, made it a proper automatic instead of assisted, and made the construction screws Torx10, I would be willing to spend up to $250 on this.
There is a market for this, and you would make a killing proving that Gerber can still make an outstanding knife. Wish you would.

Step up your choice of steel Gerber... Kyle - APR 10, 2012
7Cr17MoV(GB) - Chinese equivalent of the AISI 440A stainless steel. Strictly speaking, this is not the standard name, 7Cr17 is, there is no 7Cr17MoV neither in GB/T 20878 nor in GT/T 1220 standard specifications. While the standard lists up to 0.75% Molybdenum in the composition, Vanadium is not mentioned at all. So, that V at the end of the name doesn't really mean much. There are some sources listing it with 0.04% Vanadium, but that's very little to seriously affect steel performance.

Target Systems Tech Jim - FEB 7, 2012
Exactly what I was looking for. I have a SOG Flash II and love it but this looks even better. Got to have the serrated blade and tanto tip! I wouldn't have purchased it with a different blade. Love the titanium handle and the fact it is not painted, nothing to scratch off. Can't wait for it to arrive. Would have liked more pictures and a look at the clip but I like my other Gerbers so I trust this one will be my new favorite.
