    99% of People complaining about blade steel most definitely don’t need anything harder than 7cr. I always ask those who complain about blade steel to tell me what their edc cutting consists of. Almost no response. Great review

      Specific, they aren’t complaining about steel, they complain about value you paid for what you get. At that price point Gerber asked, we could find better knife or same quality knife for even cheaper. Over all, their complaining are valid due to the msrp is bit high.

      I know what you mean. On the daily, I cut tape, strings, cord, thread and that's about it. I'm not batoning wood, striking a Ferro rod, or making little fire-starter swizzle sticks, or whatever those things are.
      In the mainstream media no one ever talked about those types of tasks until about two decades ago, and then all of a sudden everybody's a woodsman or a doomsday prepper. smh lmao jk

      @@BrothuhRabbit it’s more like they lazy to sharp the knife. Better steel tend to hold the edge way longer than cheaper one. But the main point is value. For same money you can get civivi mini praxis with better steel tho it’s still not the best option in price range. And people still complain about civivi so you know the standard been up in the air for a while. Even cheap chinese brand on aliexpress tend to have the same steel quality as gebber for half of the price. But seem like they all for get that their kitchen knife that they massacred before every meal, a scissor they use to cut plastic paper etc….are also cheap steel. Sure it got dull over time but for entry price range, you can’t expect it last forever. So just changing it to newer model and you should be good

    Hi, I came across the Smith & Wesson 3” Framelock Folding Knife CKLPB, which I just ordered online (around $10, in Holland)...
    Could this S&W be even better while it's half the price...?

    What would be the best oil/ lubricant to use on this particular knife to keep the "flipping" action nice and smooth when opening and closing? Thanks for the great video. 😎👍

    I’ve had mine for months, i call it my grub knife, I’m very hard use on my knives and the Zilch has never failed me. Just get one and you’ll understand. I carry mine most of the time as a secondary to my main nicer blades and it gets all the mucky work, hence the nickname “grub knife”.

    Zilch is an apt name

    Another reasonably good Gerber design ruined by poor steel. There is no excuse for using 7Cr on modern knives unless you're in the market for a classic gas station knife.
