Gerber Urban Legend Mini-Review

[Alan_B]

The Gerber Urban Legend (Model 700) is a smaller version of their Legend (Model 800). I have just had mine for a few days and I thought others might be interested in some feedback.

Detail of features and dimensions may be found at Gerber's site:

I've attached a picture from Gerber's site here as well. One of the chief complaints I heard on the forums about the 800 was its bulk, the 700 addresses this issue partially. The aluminum handles are thicker than the stainless of competing tools but I appreciate their ergonomics. Some of the tools (e.g. the smallest screwdriver) are difficult to get out without opening other tools first. The spring loaded pliers are a delight to use. I'll post more after more use. Cheers! -Alan

Sorry to bring back such an old topic, but I am curious to know a little more about the 700. I love my Wave, but am finding it just too big to tote around in my pocket - I was looking at smaller options and my micra just isn't doing the trick. I've wound up deciding between a juice (s2, cs4) or the gerber 700. How does it compare to a wave? Is the size pretty close or noticably smaller? Pocketability?

Thanks for any further help.

the wave is tiny compared to the legend(not urban legend)


any smaller and the blade probably wont be of any use at all.
