Anyone had any experiences good or bad with the new China made gerber series of bone handle slippies? I picked up a set, (slipjoint and lockback) this week from a big box sporting goods store dirt cheap. Initial impression was that the knives are reasonably well built, with good action and very square/flush fit on the backspring/blades and reasonably sharp out of the box. Only nit was that the center rivet could have been buffed a bit better as it has a sharp edge on one side. Bad pix posted below.
