Baby Gerber Para-frame: About 5 1/2" opened... 3" closed... ....liner lock of course. The usual made in P.R.O.C. Steel appears to be a way better than previous attempts at a Chinese Gerber. There is a nice edge put on it, and the coated stainless is not the crumbly stuff I've come to expect. It was under a 20.00 bill on my birthday, and I needed a new daily carry. Don't really care for liner locks, but this is stronger than the friction spring that was on the tiny Wenger I was using as a daily carry before I gave it away... Good news is that it does NOT come with the ridiculous pocket clip. I always end up taking the pocket clips off of my pocket knives anyways~ less to get in the way.... May have further commentary on this once sharpening time arrives... Regards, Doc Sharptail

If it's not made with 440C stainless, it should hold an edge for quite a while. SW

I cut down a inch and a half green willow for a fishing rod holder and 5 or 6 red willow branches for weenie roasters as well as daily use. It finally needed a touch up on the edge. It cleaned up fast with my Smith's pocket sharpener which is a combination carbide/soft Arkansas pull through. I am impressed with this performance. Knife is actually a little small for whittling heavy willows down to a spear point. Such use is bordering on abuse in my book. Despite what is shown on Forged In Fire and it's clones, a knife is a cutting tool. As always, the proper tool should be selected for the job at hand... I think my daily carry blade should be about an inch longer. Regards , Doc Sharptail
