Gerber Flatiron vs Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Super Tinker

REVIEW: The blade feels really well balanced in your hand while opened up. The finger relief under the blade really gets the working edge close. It is very controllable and steady. Closed, the blade is bulky

My biggest grip about this or any other knife with a phillips screw driver is mouting on the bottom side with the resulting "T" formation... really decreases the utility of that blade

When it finally disengaged I had so much force on it that the blade flipped closed unexpectedly and now I have a nice scar. Upon further inspection the pivot bolt is not very tight, but the blade has way too much resistance to open and close. This could be a really cool EDC knife but for a cheap Gerber, I'll leave it alone and run my Spyderco, Kizer or even my Civivi.

The price was much better than the price I have paid elsewhere for the same knife. I buy these to give to my friends who are retiring and need a mobile tool kit like this.

The three-inch cleaver style blade is very sturdy; ideal style to shave kindling and small bits of wood for fire-starting. Dimension-wise, the pocketknife is 4.75 inches long when closed. Opened, it's 8

The super tinker is exactly the right all purpose knife for my lifestyle. I also now have one of the blade locking models as well. For quality, durability these knifes still maintain that tradition without disappointment. It is an investment well worth the price

As a retired military guy and avid camper, I have owned and used various folding blade style knives. This knife caught my attention as a more utilitarian type blade for heavy cutting of rope, heavy twine, cardboard, etc. Though it is labeled as a Cleaver blade, I found it to be a bit to light to effectively be used as a chopper for wood or food products. I tried chopping small pieces of wood, which was totally ineffective

I think this is my forth Swiss Army knife. I like going ultra light, so whenever I lose a Swiss Army knife, I look for something else that might be lighter with fewer features that I don't really need. I just want a knife and scissors and the tweezers and bottle opener are a bonus. It comes in lighter than any comparable knife I can find

The micarta part of the handle feels very cheap and not lined up well around edges. There is a gap between the micarta and metal where it meets handle like it’s not attached well. When I opened knife, it had someone else’s arm hair and skin cells on the blade like someone had attempted to shave their arm with it. Blade has several inclusions in the finish which I believe will make it fail eventually

sharpener works well on steel blades i've used it on grass shears and plant clippers even scissors with good results aluminum blades will take more testing. again only problem is handle with care . droping can lead to brakage.
