Awesome

great product carry it every day and made great doesn't get in the way but ready if i ever need it

Works great!

The cutting edge is extremely sharp and works well. it is pretty light weight and you do not feel it when you are wearing it on a belt. Skin and fingers seem well protected when using the cutter. It is easy to remove from the sheath. The feel in the hand is nice and I think that it will feel a little better after the plastic coating breaks in a bit. The sheath has a fairly positive grip on the cutter but the mounting options could use some refinement. I will be creating my own mounting option. The color is nice. Pretty dark.

I ordered this as an after thought, one of those 'yeah, it would be neat to have a blade to cut para cord and also handy to have a belt cutter'....this thing is awesome.First, I never held one of these and it is bigger than what I expected, which is a welcome surprise as it gives it a weight that maybe promising for durability.So far i have it attached on pal webbing and it has been simply handy to have. I added a para cord lanyard so that I can just drop it out of my hand and complete a knot without risk to injury as by design it is a concealed blade for safety.simply put, why don't you have one if you carry a knife as well? it's a different but very useful tool.

I've always found Gerber products to be well made & this is no exception. Blade is sharp & easily cuts through nylon straps & webbing. The shape is comfortable & easy to control, & the sheath hold the blade tight while still allowing for quick deployment. The included belt clip is insanely tight, but if you weave it through mills BEFORE attaching it to the sheath, there are zero issues. Already plan on buying additional ones for other vehicles.

Bought for work. Was as described and works great.
