Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 05640 River Shorty KnifeCustomer 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.
