Why don't you copy the text here so we don't all have to make accounts for some forum we don't intend to return to.

There's some differences in the blade, smallish ones. But I actually like Gerber's blade design better. Of course, the overall desgin by CRKT was never attractive to me in the first place and neither is the Gerber.

There is NO design on the part of Gerber whatsoever.

Is that the Evo Jr (that was out since last yr)

Look at the point, the midline and the drop. The Gerber drops more, the midline doesn't even come to the point. The CRKT's point is at the midline of the knife; it does not have a swedge as the Gerber does.

So yes, the blade was designed differently.

That's not really design, that's just trying to make the knife look different enough so as not to be a patent or copyright infringment.

 

[phatch]

I'll agree with that statement. I said it was small differences.

[kamagong]

Look at the holes. That's a totally different knife...:barf:

 

[mr.trooper]

yea.

I havent gone near their knives for a while...but i WAS cosnidering buying one of their multi-tools. No more.

 

[cosine]

Amazing. Just amazing. Doesn't anyone at Gerber ever have an original design?

Ask Mr Carson how he really feels

Ask Mr Carson how he really feels

Pretty sure that wouldn't be a good idea.

I bought one of the small Gerber Evo's last summer. It felt like it had sand in it. I took it apart to clean and oil it and the knife had rough places inside around the pivot. I guess the aluminum is very soft or it was damaged when it was made. I started to try to stone it to smooth it out but came to my senses. I gave it away to someone that didn't need a knife.

 

[Ryan8]

There was a thread from not too long about about Gerber getting ripped off. That should make everyone feel better.

 

[Rat Finkenstein]

Don't blame Gerber. That company doesnt exist. It is Fiskars now- so I wouldn't stoop to buy their other products either.

 

[barrabas74]

I work at a knife store now and alot of people still think gerbers the ole gerber and still look for the name. There in for a suprise when I tell them otherwise but some still dont listen........oh well, old habits die hard.
