    Dang man, those looked like a perfectly good pair of sandals. I need to get that RUclips money. In all seriousness, I customized a fastball as well. While they have some of the best online customization abilities, I am not particularly happy with the fit an finish for the price. The lock up is around 85% and the liners are pretty rough looking around the edges. I do like that I have a unique knife that fits my mojo.

    I thought about getting a custom fastball, but I've heard that about half of them come out with bad fit and finish (the customs, not the normal ones). So, I held off. I did get a normal fastball just recently though, and I'm pleasantly surprised at it. Smaller than I thought, but I like the knife.

    Gerber reserve is just marketing. You can easily see the edge grind is uneven in their photo on their website (probably a result of a poor primary grind, but I can't see from the photos). A $150 fixed blade in 2020 your grinds better be perfect, there's a lot of great choices out there

    He just said over 4’ blade. I heard him say it! Lol i’m starting to get frustrated that every time I look up the specs for this blade, part of the specs are either missing or different. For the blade length for the terracraft, I’ve heard 4.1, 3.9, 4….. why is it so overwhelmingly common for people to just blurt things out without knowing what they’re talking about? I understand that people are going to make mistakes and be wrong about information from time to time but literally every other time I try to look up information about anything in this world half the people talking to me have no clue what they’re talking about but pretend as if they do and blurt out things that aren’t true. I love this channel and I have no idea if what he is saying is accurate. I’m just frustrated that it seems to be so difficult. That’s like the equivalent of me wanting to look up how tall basketball hoops in the NBA are…then a third of the results say 9 feet, a third 11 and a third 10. Just the fact that I feel completely unable to find an accurate source speaks volumes about society.

      Hi. Update. I just got it in the mail and it is total garbage I upgraded the sheath and it’s totally cheap. The ferro rod holder doesn’t hold any of the rods I have. I got the rivets colored black and they still look metal
      colored and the color is so pale and uneven from rivet to rivet. The grind was overwhelmingly uneven and one-sided. It just looks cheap too. The cheaper principle seems like a better product. Which I own. I’m just hoping I can get my money back at this point. I am so disappointed I thought this was going to be my best knife.

Just so happens that Gerber is actually putting out some interesting and good USA 🇺🇸 made designs that I am interested in.

      If you make a statement like that. At least offer 4 of the most relevant USA made only brands. Ideally brands that out sell Gerber by 35% or greater. Have a more diverse product catalogue. Offer premium steels for at least $10 less than Gerber with better fit, finish and attention to detail. Offer a lifetime, 25 year or greater warranty. Can be purchased at a retail store locally across the USA regardless of region without the need to order online.
