Gerber 05803 Guardian Back-Up Knife


Great deal
All I can say is: great knife. This knife is very sturdy despite it being only 2/3rd tang. I've used it as everything from a pry bar to a throwing knife. I trounced around the swamps of Ft. Campbell and sprinted through those muddy swamps with this attached to my boot and it shows almost no wear or tear despite my abuse. No other knife I've known has shown the ruggedness that this one shows for the price.
A Good Knife
I bought one of these for my son who went to Iraq and he liked it so I picked up one for myself. Very sharp. Good quality. My only complaint is that the tip will rattle in the sheath, so I put some cotton in the bottom and that took care of it.
Love this knife!
As soon as I got this knife in the mail I was in love with it. The sheath is a polymer and is adjustable for tension, which is nice because it increases your options on where to carry it. The blade out of the box was super sharp, at least sharp enough to shave a little patch of hair off the underside of my arm. It is also perfectly balanced at the hilt so it has the capacity to be a thrower with a little practice (can't say I'd do a lot of it because it doesn't weigh all that much and I don't want to nick up the double edge). I carry it around on the inside of my waistband on my left hip and no one has ever noticed until I go to use it to actually cut something. GREAT BUY!
