Gerber Gear Highbrow Compact, Pocket Knife with Assisted Open, Serrated Edge Blade, Black

I’ve gone through many pocket knives over the years. I always have one in my pocket and use them for way more than they are intended. My last one had I gone through 6 of the same knife as I beat on them a lot. That knife got discontinued and I was looking. I bought 6 or seven knives until I found this. I love the spring assisted index finger opening. I’ve never really liked a serrated blade, but the half serated feature is pretty nice. This knife is super strong and durable. I waited 4 months before my review. I love the knive. It fits well and the bit of mass is nice. Now, I had to make a few modifications to make me love it. A pocket knife does not have a belt clip as that got caught on my pockets and added unnecessary bulk. I cut that off with a grinder and that solved my problem. The next problem was the safety feature on it. A little thing you have to hit to allow the knife to open. What a total pain in the ass. I assumed it was a cheap piece of plastic and I could just break it out - WRONG. It was solid metal and a bitch to remove. I went through two drill bits to drill it out, then pried it off. Since then, I love the knive. A big change from previous ones, although a higher price point. I was used to the $12 knives. I’ll never go back.

Gerber, the name speaks for itself. Great quality knives (and other things) at a fair price with a great warranty. This thing is sharp, feels good in the hand, opens quickly and easily. The only issue I have is with my hands/fingers and the locks. The safety lock isn’t really an issue with the exception of being annoying to me, but the lock itself I have issues with as you have to slide both sides back at the same time and my hands don’t like that. Otherwise I have no other issues or complaints, it’s not the knife, it’s me. I would recommend this knife. The price was right, got shipped out and received quickly. I’d buy it again for a gift for someone. Nice knife.

Wanted something thinner and lighter

A good product at a good price with fast shipping.

This knife was almost an all time favorite if it hadn’t come so dull and the very tip weren’t bent out of the packaging. It’s a perfect weight for my measure of EDC and the blades strength seemed pretty on par. Dunno if I’ll bother trying to exchange it or just risk buying another. Update: I decided to keep the previously purchased knife and order a second. The second did not disappoint. I am extremely satisfied with this EDC. The knife feels well balanced and strong, and sharp as heck right out of the package. Definitely worth the second purchase. Great knife!

Love this model so much. Perfect for an everyday carry. When i had left my original plain edge at a buddies house, i ordered the serrated just to have it back in my pocket sooner & eventually have both options. Highly recommend.

Nice knife, wish it was just a little smaller. Other than that, this is a great knife and fits good in your hand.

I have had this knife for almost a year. The clip becomes loose every 2 weeks or so. I had to buy a small screwdriver kit to tighten it when needed. Finish has also not held up well. Blade is nice.
