I don’t typically review knives because I’m not going to go through the effort of scientific sharpness and durability testing (check out Project Farm on YouTube for that kind of stuff) but I picked up this Gerber Air Ranger and have been using it daily for about a month. How about a review in bullet points?
- Aluminum handle that’s lightweight (76 grams) but not as light as my similarly sized knives with G10 handles (66 grams)
- I like the handle texture/grip
- The nub for the liner lock is quite small but it’s got a satisfying click when it closes
- The clip is too tight from the factory. I’d prefer more angle to catch my pants pocket or less tension on the clip.
- The blade is ok
- Fuck this packaging. Looked easy to open but was not.
