Gerber Recall

Fire away with your thoughts...

I myself think that if you don't use a locked knife stupidly, you'll be reasonably safe but that a lock that's designed to lock should function as designed.

Maybe my reasonably safe is different than yours. Why even own a locking knife. How about disabling the lock so you can have the best of both worlds haha.

Well at least they have recognised their is a problem and are dealing with it . good for them :thumbup:

My using not using a knife stupidly may be different than yours since you still seem to have issues with locking knives. Haha

Agreed. Totally.

I just can't believe they sold that many knives in a year, and that was only one model. I guess the company is bigger than I realized.

I'm just glad they are taking responsibility and issuing the recall...

There's probably plenty of other Chinese linerlocks being sold under a variety of names that came form the same factory with the same problem.

Who said I ever had any issues. Tired of this proper use crap. Either you appreciate a strong lock or you don't. take a moment and think when you might need a robust lock if the occasion arose. I'm out.

This is not just a Gerber problem. A lot of expensive liner and frame lock knives have lock fail issues but fans simply ignore this. Kudus to Gerber for being stand up enough to do something about it.

I? The original knuckle dragger here, not appreciate a robust lock? That's a laugh.
