Gerber Presto?

[Sterculius]

Has anyone handled the new assisted opener from Gerber called "Presto"? It looks kinda cool from pictures. I know the steel leaves something to be desired (probably 440a at best). How does the lock work? Any feedback? Worth the price as an EDC beater?

I never handled that model but I have a smaller A/O with a button lock from Gerber called the "Fast Draw" It usually goes for around $39.

It's pretty well made and has a hidden flipper on the top of the blade that can be used to open it. Gerber credits Butch Vallotton as the designer.

I use it for opening heavy cardboard boxes. It doesn't hold an edge as long as higher quality steels but it's pretty easy to touch up.

I think the Gerber Presto,talking about design is a wonderful knife.
