Comments about Gerber 06 FAST Serrated Knife:

Gerber has done another phenomenal job with this knife! It is built like a tank, has a great handle, which gives you a solid grip even when wet and is easy to use when wearing gloves. The knife is made out of a more entry-level stainless steel which is really easy to sharpen, but unfortunately doesn't hold an fine edge for too long. It lasted me a whole five day trip where I used it to split wood, gut fish, and held a pretty good edge the whole time. The knife uses a piston locking mechanism to open and close which opens sharply, locks into place with a nice snap, and feels solid even under heavy pressure. Overall, this is a great knife. 4/5

Comments about Gerber 06 FAST Serrated Knife:

Yes, it may be a little heavy or may even dull quickly but this knife was standard military isssue and is not meant as an everyday pocket knife. Notice the tanto point is meant for piercing/thrusting not cutting and its going to have some added weight becasue it was made for use in tough conditions on the battle field. It is a lot lighter with its G-10 handles compared to its brother the 06 fully automatic version. I think this knife is a great buy. Its tough, comfortable and contours your hand normal and reverse grip, lanyard hole for 550 cord, and strike pommel. Im in the military myself and carry this everyday. Great product!

I like this knife and I would depend on it if it come down to it, but for hunting and camping and other activities, this would not be my first choice, but not my last.

Comments about Gerber 06 FAST Serrated Knife:

I was using this knife for cutting and sharpening sticks. i would also use it to cut random cardboard boxes

The handle felt fantastic, had a nice weight to it, felt like it wouldn't break

The only bad part about it is that its made out of a not so good metal, when they blade snapped the metal looked very cheap.
When i broke the knife i was cutting a stick, i wasn't using the knife with full on pressure.

so if you have this knife i recommend that you only use it as a letter opener

Comments about Gerber 06 FAST Serrated Knife:

Overall, the knife wasn't the best Gerber I have owned. The serrations had a lot of burrs, you could cut something with the blade 90 deg. on its side. Sounds useful... But it isn't. Second, the blade was pretty dull, it reminded me of a knife that was sharpened with a grinder at a lawnmower shop.

On the plus side, the opening was very smooth and the lock holds very tight. The grip is comfortable for my long fingers and that is all I can really give it as far as pluses.
