    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    Comments about Gerber Fast Draw Mini Combination Edge Knife:

    At first I really liked this knife. The open assist was very cool and worked great. I only used it a few times and the blade was dull. After sharpening it did not take long to dull again. I opened a toy for my daughter that involved breaking plastic zip ties and it bent the serrated teeth. In my opinion, it was a great idea, made well for the price but the blade is seriously lacking.

    Comments about Gerber Fast Draw Mini Combination Edge Knife:

    I like having a low profile blade in my pocket all the time. I also try to buy blades with a resin or plastic handle, because I'd rather pay for a good blade then a fancy handle. This little knife looked perfect, but unfortunately the "quick draw" button is very catchy and far from smooth. The final result is a knife that is difficult to open and close due to its own safety feature. I will be returning this knife and getting a more traditional design.

      Comments about Gerber Fast Draw Mini Combination Edge Knife:

      I am a Boy Scout and am also fairly active outside of scouts. I use this knife on a daily basis for things around the house and outside. This knife is very nice because 1. the quick draw mechanism is very easy to use and it leaves your other hand free, and 2. because in general, it is a very useful tool. I tend to lose it because it is so small, but that is also an advantage in that I don't feel like I'm carrying around a Ka-bar. Do I recommend going all Bear Grylls in the wilderness with only this knife? No. But for use on a day to day basis, this tool will never let you down.

      Comments about Gerber Fast Draw Mini Combination Edge Knife:

      I love the feel of this knife. It's also the perfect size for any pocket, and opens / locks securely. I've had a couple occasions where it opened as I was taking it out of my pocket. Almost a little too efficient. If it's in the "locked" mode, that won't happen, but it took me a few times to figure that out. That's my only criticism.

        Comments about Gerber Fast Draw Mini Combination Edge Knife:

        It's one of the best darn pocket knifes I own! I must admit: It took me a few tries to get the hang of the "fast draw." (Could it be me? Maybe I'm just an ol' fumble-fingers!) I like this knife because it's small, and it fits conveniently in my hip pocket. I hardly know it's there. It comes in handy for "everyday" uses.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
