Magnacut Steel on the cheap
With the coupon this came to about $112. that's a pretty incredible price for a magnacut steel blade. I think the closest you get from Benchmade or Buck is twice the price for magna cut. so that coupled with the Gerber warranty seems like pretty darn good deal. the blade itself is exactly what I wanted. fixed blade. perfect hand size. I can carry with me on hikes and runs in case I get attacked by a cougar then it's stabby time.
Corrections to knife specifications
The correct dimensions and weight of this knife as measured on a recently-purchased unit are: 8.75" overall, 3.9" maximum blade length, 3.45" edge length (measured linearly parallel to the spine), 0.125" spine width, 4.6 oz weight (knife only). For those who don't know, MagnaCut steel has much greater edge retention but less toughness than 420HC which is the steel in the other variant of the Gerber StrongArm Camp knife. It isn't often that a blade is offered in more than one steel so that consumers can choose which material might be better suited to their particular applications within their preferred knife models. The as-received edge angle (inclusive) on the MagnaCut blade is 30 degrees, a good compromise for edge retention vs resistance to chipping. The blade is sharp right out of the box, although the edge is not highly polished. The handle is very "grippy" and its circumference and length are good for my normal-sized hands. I like the finger notch because it allows me to place my middle finger there and place my index finger really far forward on the spine for fine control. I could wish that the edge were a bit longer, but the present design is certainly adequate for its purpose.
