Gerber Auto Covert Automatic Knife vs Shun Sora 6" Ultimate Utility Knife VB0741

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.

It's a terrible rocker-chopper. It's not a good roast slicer; it's far too short. It's not an effective bread knife for anything other than baguettes. It's not a boning or fillet knife

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

So considering the fact that this is still the exact same price as all those other entry level knives but it's a full tang, it's forged, it's VG10 ste...

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

Do not put these knives in the dishwasher. When you finish using them. Hand wash them in soap and water. Hand dry them really good and put them back on your knife rack

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!

Great utility knife, just wish it had a better handle. I guess that’s why it was cheaper than similar knives.
