MEET GERBER
Details:
This year, we bring you the Profile Knife, a knife built for comfort and durability for heavy usage. This knife has been designed with a non-slip rubber handle to ensure you have a good grip even in wet environments. It features a titanium coated 4" blades and comes with a sturdy nylon sheath. Lifetime warranty.
AWESOME IN EVERY RESPECT, EXCEPT... SAME PROBLEM AS Possum Skinner. RUBBER GRIPS PULLING LOOSE FROM HANDLE. I DO NOT TRUST MY SKILLS AT GLUING AND REATTACHING THEM TO THE HANDLE. WILL CONTACT GERBER. I AM CONFIDENT THEY WILL HAVE A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. (LEGENDARY BLADES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!)
The curve of the blade combined with the relative ease with which it is controlled are this knife's best aspects. It also holds a relatively sharp edge. However, after several weeks of very light wear, the rubberized grips started pulling loose from the corners. This was, I found out, a result of sheathing it in the nylon pocket provided with the knife. Gorilla glue fixed the issue and I don't use the nylon pocket anymore, but just keep this in mind. The knife works well for everything from gutting "cats" to glove skinning small game. I haven't had a chance to use it on large yet.
