What customers say about "Blade"
Gerber Ripstop I (22-41613) Knife, Serrated Edge
  • Its perfect for the handy little pocket knife for all the daily things you need a knife for.
  • Well constructed small pocket knife. It has been tumbled and polished so that the only sharp edge is on the blade.
  • It's solid, sharp, well made, small, and sturdy. I really like the action on the open.
  • The blade on the Ripstop is Gerber sharp (shaves hair), and is easy to keep sharp.
  • The blade itself takes and keeps a decent edge. I send mine through the wash all the time and have never had any issue.
Gerber Ripstop II (22-41616) Knife, Serrated Edge
  • it's pretty robust and won't bend or close unintentionally.
  • Best everyday knife i own. Holds an edge great and love how it fits in my pocket.
  • The blade is great, sharp and easy to give and hold very well.
  • This blade passed the paper test so easily it was a joke! It sliced right through so well I was almost convinced it was razor sharp.
  • It holds an edge well and in the two years I've had it, it shows no sign of rust. It sharpens easily to a razor sharp blade.

What customers say about "Features"
Gerber Ripstop I (22-41613) Knife, Serrated Edge
  • It's made of beautiful stainless steel and the screws are of high quality.
  • The frame lock can only be easily accessed with the right hand.
  • The liner lock is firm and does not let the blade close into the frame while using it.
  • The frame has no sharp edges and is easy to carry with the clip or in the pocket, although it's about as large as I want for pocket carry.
  • After a bit of use it deploys easily and stays securely open. Pocket clip allows it to ride deep in you pocket, making it nearly invisible.
Gerber Ripstop II (22-41616) Knife, Serrated Edge
  • One handed open is doable for the right hand, and full deployment from pocket takes me about 4-5 seconds with practice.
  • The saber grip is most ergonomical and almost precludes the possibility of the hand slipping.
  • Serrated at the base, to sharp straight blade to tip, perfect for penetration and cutting.
  • The serration on the blade isn't very aggressive, its more like a light/medium design that works for cutting wire, thick rope, and small pieces of wood!
  • Its got a good frame lock on it that is very easy to operate. The blade is easy to open and close!
