154CM On The Cheap! Gerber Edict Drop Point

[@BennyBladez-]

Gerber is getting back to its roots. More U.S. made makes me happy.

[@stump-bossBIll]

BOOOOYAAAA -- MAde in the USA BABY!!!! Gerber is a great USA based company with so many tool offerings! Gotta love them.

[@luisarellanorn3309]

I've utilized this knife for 2 years...more than efficient and continues to out fit in both edc and trail hiking overnight.

[@bcjdwbiernfjherwfbowfib]

You are easily the best knife reviewer on KZbin.

[@mistersmith3986]

I agree!

[@bowlofrice8]

A griptillian is like $85 Idk if I would say this is super cheap but I would save up the 20 extra bucks and get the benchmade

[@angryagain68]

They've gone up with everything else over the last few weeks. $97-174 on Amazon right now. But I get your point.

[@fauzipogee5329]

I got Gerber gator 154CM it's serves me well full flat grind rubberised grip only no pocket clip. Overall very good made in USA knife not like the gerber bear grills China made knives

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Gerber makes good knives, the handle appears very comfortable.

[@grimreaper6042]

GT great video I have a15 yrs old Gerber Multi tool that is great but last year I purchased a gerber mini multi tool the fit and finish was horrible I contacted Gerber and got the run around buyer be ware with Gerber!!!!!

[@darthblade2016]

Thank u for the review Aaron!! Really been enjoying the direction Gerber has been moving with their USA stuff!!

[@heatseeker2929]

I find it funny that the knife is named 154CM. It's a reference to the length, but it should be 154MM (for millimetres), which equates to about half foot knife. 154 cm (centimetres) is like a 5' knife. Anyway, chuckled!. I know they meant 15,4 cm, which fits the name.

[@Wideranger]

Cold Steel Voyager in AUS10A is best value for money at that price point. Pretty much indestructible. Great working, outdoors, general purpose tool. Wont win on aesthetics but on everything else it's a winner winner chicken dinner all the way. And yes you'd easily process your chicken with it too!

[@guykulwanoski1629]

Great review as always. Love the competitive options! Stay safe & God Bless!

[@jeffwrinkle575]

Took the time to watch the video review a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time. Even went and watched the video review on the Cold Steel Voyager. I really like the looks and lines of this knife and that was before watching the video the 1st time. This is a really great knife (154CM steel) and at fantastic price point. the handle ergonomics and deployment may not be the best but those are minor irritations for $60. The comparison with the Cold Steel Voyager with a better deployment is a good one. Added the Edict to my BladeHQ wish list.

Uping there knive game a bit.👍its 154 cpm steel ooo. 😎

[@beaver6d9]

Not sure this is made for 'knife people', but seems like a good value and probably will sell well at Dicks or wherever the market for these are, and at least its functional as a tool.

I am a buck person but I like that Gerber thank you

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Great review... Thank you...

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

The Gerber looks cool, but I have a "bad taste in my mouth" for Gerber in that i've broken 2 multitools and my Gater 2 won't even take an edge, much less hold one. Maybe that steel is better then what I've seen. I want give them another chance, but I'm just not in the market currently. Thanks for the review. Keep up the great work!

[@jimmyj7816]

Gerber seems to have improved their quality in folding knives over the past two years but not to where their knives really stand out from the crowd. They have made so much junk over the years that it makes me wonder why people keep coming back to them. Especially with the many brands of knives out there putting out quality stuff, you would think the attention paid to Gerber products(specifically the folding knives) would have died out.

[@camsknifereviews]

Think a Kershaw link is 70-80 for m390 steel which is superior to 154cm

[@michaalloy8862]

Hey man you make the best vids

Micha alloy thank you so much!!

[@michaalloy8862]

[@epicsasquatch452]

Don't really know with the cold steel, a lot of people have no respect for Lynn Thompson, plus they are usually pocket destroyers. And even the pre conglomerate purchase knives sometimes have burs on the handle that aren't knocked off by the factory that get really uncomfortable. Also another thing that I like about the old school knife manufacturers is that they really like to round off the edges on the spine of the blade and all of the unsharpened spots on the blade which makes it really comfortable. I don't like 90 angles on knife blades, they are really uncomfortable in my opinion. And if I ever wanted to use a fire rod I can always tie a fire steel to it.

[@vencemcadams2927]

Nice knife. Love the made in USA! Going up against some tough competition though. Great review.

Nice knife but I wish they made a non-tanto in all black

[@gideonstactical]

[@jamieluvsknives3912]

Great review as always but i wouldn't carry a gerber if it was free lol the blade kinda looks like a harpoon blade more then a drop point

[@mossifett9071]

I like my Decree better with the S30V steel. Wish this one had that. Still looks to be a great knife, just picked up the Principle based off your review.

[@gideonstactical]

Matthew James how do you like that one?

[@mossifett9071]

@@gideonstactical As for them both, I love them. I have had my decree for 2 years now and haven't had to sharpen it yet and I have cut through rope, whittled a few twigs and it's still sharp with no rolls. The principle, I wish was with S30V steel. But other than that it fits perfectly in my hand no matter how I use it. Mine to had a slight roll on the blade, but I followed your advice and beveled it. Both are great knives. What's next??

[@mistersmith3986]

I don't care where they are made, Cold Steel Voyager destroys them all!

[@WarGrrl3]

I would love this Gerber in a smaller version. It seems very capable. Oh n i prefer the saber grind over a flat anyway, for most situations. The cold steel is nice, love the steel but it's even bigger. If I'm gonna carry a big knife I have awesome fixed blades. Thanks for the heads up on this knife I'm going to be on the lookout for its 'little sister', hopefully Gerber will come out w one. Stay safe, Be Blessed.

[@Maniac1551]

154CM dulls and rolls way too quickly for me (At least benchmades does). Glad they moved to s30v

[@Nightwolf866]

Forgot to mention, the cold steel is made in Taiwan and less comfortable in hand.

[@gideonstactical]

Nightwolf866 If you rewatch the video I did say that it was made in Taiwan, and I would argue that the cold steel is just as comfortable as the Gerber in the hand.

[@Nightwolf866]

@@gideonstactical isn't it to grippy for long carving?

[@gideonstactical]

Nightwolf866 I haven’t seen that to be the case. The nice thing also about the gravy on the cold steel is that you could hit it with some sandpaper and in probably 10 minutes remove some of the sharpness if you wish to give it a smoother feel.

Hi!

[@grumpyoldwizard]

If this is 154CM I think they should test the metal to make certain its decent 154CM. I would love a USA made knife but Gerber is not the company it used to be. It would be great to see them return to their glory days. I think we should also make certain it is not just assembled in the USA. It needs to be completely made in America as well as assembled here to be real USA made. Prove it and I would by this knife in a second. I looks nice and I am avoiding China made knives ATM.

[@gideonstactical]

Average Joe I am sure it is 154cm, it holds its edge longer then their 420hc blades. This knife has been in production for years as the tanto and a about a year ago they started making the drop point. I have not heard of a large USA manufacturing company lying about what materials go into the knife. That would be a major liability and sue opportunity.

[@Nightwolf866]

@@gideonstactical bear ops is lying. Thier s30v is 8cr13.

[@hunterglaspell5580]

Average Joe having been to their factory personally, I can tell you they don’t in house heat treat. Same as Benchmade. You want to know where they get it heat treated? Same company, same place down the road. So what you get with Benchmade in steel, you get with Gerber. Can’t blame you for not knowing the ins and outs of the manufacturing process, but they haven’t changed much (actually improved) their production in the US. What they have done is better their QC.

[@kushlash2]

A lockback without a reversible pocket clip makes me sad.

[@barkriverbravo1]

That is one ugly blade but one heck of a deal ! For sure a great budget blade

[@jeffwrinkle575]

What a disappointment. Really like the looks and lines of this knife. Would be great to see this knife in a higher quality steel. I get that Gerber is keeping costs down but this knife would sell better with a higher quality steel.

[@gideonstactical]

Jeff Wrinkle for the price 154cm is nice I would think, you don’t agree? Better than 420hc and but lower than s30v?

[@Nightwolf866]

Higher?

[@hunterglaspell5580]

Jeff Wrinkle 154cm for the price is amazing. What are you smoking?

[@jeffwrinkle575]

Please ignore my comment. 154CM is a great steel and Gerber is selling at an excellent price point. Avoid making comments when multi tasking at home with work and four kids doing online school.
