Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 05640 River Shorty Knife

Customer Review: Gerber 05640 River Shorty
Summary: 4 Stars

The purchase was flawless. I got what I asked for at the agreed price and it arrived in record time for regular mail. Kudos to the vendor.

The knife will likely be useful to me, but I have had a couple problems with it. I assumed that the sheath was designed to fit onto the black knife clips on my life jacket. It will not, so I had to find another, less desirable way to secure it.

I used the knife to cut some cheese for lunch. It worked great. When I tried to fashion a quick baler from a plastic water bottle, the blunt tip made it difficult to start the cut. I understand that it is a safety feature and that it is mainly intended for cutting ropes, straps or other items in an emergency. I would probably opt for the Shorty version that has the point since the sheath does a good job of preventing accidental punctures.

Description of Gerber 05640 River Shorty Knife

The Gerber(r) River Shorty(tm) knife is crafted from medium-carbon stainless steel that's polished to within an inch of its life to limit corrosion. The blade is 3-in long with the serrated sharp side aiming up rather than down. The sheath is constructed of a hard plastic and you can receive the knife in 2 ways. It can be worn on your belt, on your boot, or attached to your floatation vest.

Ideal for whitewater rafters tackling frothing rapids and bracing the Herculean force of water crashing around boulders, the Gerber River Shorty blunt-tipped water sports knife is designed especially for the unique requirements of rafting, paddling and diving. Its 3-inch blade is constructed with a medium-carbon stainless steel at its core, which is polished to within an inch of its life to limit corrosion. The versatile River Shorty has a serrated sharp side that aims up rather than down, a glass-filed nylon handle, and a sheath is constructed of a hard plastic. It can be worn on your belt, on your boot, or attached to your floatation vest. Measuring 6.73 inches overall, the River Shorty weighs 4 ounces. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
