Gerber Profile

Hi folks

Just seen this at HH, the Gerber Profile:

I think it's a very nice looking folder, quite big too. Obviously the steel is more than a bit vague and Gerber haven't had a good rep for folders for a while, but I quite fancy it for the price.

Anyone had one and care to comment?

After the Paraframe, I feared the worst....., but thats not too bad! I like that 'scoop' for the index finger.

I'm not a huge fan of thumb studs any more, but when there is a stud it's nice to have it tucked in close to the handle like that.

I wouldn't go for a stainless knife as I would want a locking folder to have better steel. But I like the design.

As daft as it sounds....
I think I have one of these... Lol
I bought it and a fixed blade version last time I was in las Vegas ...
It's a very nice knife in the hand, I was always a bit iffy over the blade coating so it's not had a great deal of use....
I'll dig it out and have a bit of a play....
It must be at least 3 years old now....
Probly near 4....

Not much new under the sun though, is it? Or am I missing something here?

Maybe, maybe not, just a few lines that come together rather nicely

I'm not interested in "new" for the sake of new, I'm interested in what I like, and I like the overall look of this knife.

I sharpen one of these for a work colleage,easily sharpens but dos,nt hold an edge for long but is better than a paraframe which are awfull.The handle feels very nice in hand but the liners are thin,its also bigger than it looks it all depends what you would use it for really

I bought one last year, and it feels quite good in the hand , came with a pouch, would be a winner if the steel was a bit better, nice n sharp though, but bigger than it looks.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Gary19 I now have one of these knives sitting in front of me.

I'm very impressed indeed with it. It's a good handful, and the rubbery scales make for a very comfy grip indeed. There's jimping on the scales and spine too, and big thumbstuds which also act as stops in a Butch Vallotton style. Blade is a great shape, lovely and pointy and swedgy for those of us who like that sort of thing. The sheath is decent too.

Many thanks to Gary and I think that for the price from HH this is a knife that most people would be pleased with.
