I need a piece of advice here. I have always had some very special feelings towards combat A-F knives so I bought myself Gerber A-F Covert Black Blade 154CM (Titanium Nitride Coating). However it is smaller and another knife than full scale Gerber A-F Combat Folder it has some visible advantages and improvements:
- Stiletto type more narrow blade
- 154CM steel
- more reliable liner lock with Interlock safety (according to other owners reviews)
I have browsed forums and the net all over and people keep and keep complaining about the bad liner locks on full size Gerber Combat Folders, how those locks close onto their hands and cut them etc. People complain about bad 420HC steels on that knives. But all the pictures show that Combat Folders have those Interlock safeties too nowadays. Can somebody clear the situation with current production A-F Combat Folders and what quality knives are they actually now (2010-2011 models)? Should I buy such knife if I already own an A-F Covert? How are those two knifes if compared now?
Other people say that A-F Combat Folder produces a "mighty feel" in the hand compared to Covert, that it is better balanced etc. etc. I am completely lost in all those opinions.
