You’reOnce you start getting knives your in for something amazing! Especially Gerber!
You know what I don’t care what you think of me, I have been into knives for so many years and buck was my first but failed me and when I got Gerber I found out that they may be the best knife to use on the farm.You still haven’t proven that and you said you gave them away. All we have is what you say no pictures and excuses that you don’t know how to post pictures. Maybe you don’t know knives either. Which is looking very obvious.
Gerber? Hard pass.What do you guys think about Gerber knives? I want to know your opinions please!

Knife brands I haveBest compared to what other brands (besides Buck)? I have a feeling you don't know knives AT ALL.

Buck
Gerber
Old timer
Kershaw
Maxam
Smith and Wesson
Imperial
Schrade
Ka bar
Ruko
Whitetail cutlery
Brands I don’t have
Spyderco
Benchmade
Cold steel
Sog
Crkt
Micro tech
Pro tech
We knives
And more
Out of the knives I have Gerber and Kershaw are higher in performance than buck, Gerber beating Kershaw by a little bit.
At least their quality level is consistent then.Yeah, that’s the one that sold me on Gerber forNever.
the Bucks he owns are a Walmart exclusive Chinese built and another in Walmart Chinese import. he's never owned, that he listed, an American made Buck. guessing he doesn't own a gerber American made either. he's comparing box store low cost Chinese knives to the same just under a different brand Chinese knives.Maybe you should try out some of the brands you DON'T have. With a couple exceptions, all the knives you own are in the same class as Gerber. That class being "low".
Spyderco and Benchmade will outperform anything you own (again, with a couple arguable exceptions - but Gerber is certainly NOT one of those exceptions).
Yes I got the bantam by buckany American made Bucks though? Bucks ya mentioned were Chinese made and maybe same factory that makes your gerbers.

My Gerber us1, ez out, ez out jr is made in America.the Bucks he owns are a Walmart exclusive Chinese built and another in Walmart Chinese import. he's never owned, that he listed, an American made Buck. guessing he doesn't own a gerber American made either. he's comparing box store low cost Chinese knives to the same just under a different brand Chinese knives.
so American made blade and Chinese made handle. also made for super low cost to sell in box stores. so still no full American made Buck.Yes I got the bantam by buck

so same steel 420hc as the Buck bantam then. if exposed to same environment they'd both have same results. did that Buck bantam rust too......My Gerber us1, ez out, ez out jr is made in America.
Also got iceman and trekker xlt by buckYes I got the bantam by buck
