Gerber Auto Covert Automatic Knife vs Kershaw Reverb XL Frame Lock Knife Carabiner

Gerber auto is the worst knife I've ever bought. It is pure garbage and gerber should shut its fucking doors. Looks like a blind child made it, nothingnis straight, it came butter knife sharp, and the action literally doesnt work.

Not every time,, but it will get you eventually. Poor opening design for this particular blade. I wanted to return it, but Amazon wants to charge me return shipping, so I may keep it unfortunately. If you don't mind using two hands to open it, then you may like it

good quality knife as far as the material, but it scratches the blade when it opens, the lock mechanism works ok, i think it was just that knife i probably, it has a lifetime warranty so when i take it back i will probably get a better one, if you want a nice switch blade, i would reccomend this or the off grid rapid fire ranger.

Seems cheaply made. As far as sharp from the box it seems to be not dull but sharp not so much. Just seems like they didn't finish taking it down the production line and just said sale it as is.

They also have a line made in the US which is of higher quality but costs quite a bit more. I will be buying the American made version of this knife at around $150.00. It's a decent knife if the price was a little lower

I bought this knife directly from Kershaw because they were having a sale, and it was so cheap it's just easier to keep it than to return it. If it was more expensive it would definitely be going back.

It failed under very minor pressure. When I first received the knife right away I was concerned about the durability and overall safety of the knife. Knowing it was probably a bad situation just waiting to strike I used it with extreme care. I had no idea it would fail at such a low tolerance of use

nice slipjoint. The stone wash finish is durable and holds up well. It needs some final touch up on the sharpener out of the box

Part of the difference between the Gerbers is that the mini covert uses a fiberglass filled nylon that feels more dense than the G-10 handle of the 22-01966. I guess a good way of explaining the difference in "feel" is to say that I fear that if I dropped this knife that the handle material would crack. Luckily, since Gerber backs up their products with a lifetime warranty, I really don't need to worry too much about it, plus from what I read G-10 is tougher than it feels!

YES the handle could be straighter and it could be easier to open .. takes a bit to get used to .
