Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-01035 3-Blade Stag Stockman Fine Edge Lock-Back Pocket Knife
Customer Review: True man's pocket knife
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this knife and liked it right away. Impressed with the quality. This is a true quality knife and reminds me of knives sold when I was growing up in the 1950's and '60's when all boys carried knives, a tradition lost in today's world of security concerns.Customer Review: Very pleasantly surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I lost my Buck Stockman pocket knife. It is no longer made so I despaired of replacing it. After some fairly extensive searching I bought this one. The price made me worry about the quality but when I received it all concerns vanished.
It isn't perfect, the bolster "snags" a little bit, but overall it is much nicer than the price would indicate (compared with other brand's Stockmans). The blades are very well made, almost a mirror finish - the grinding marks are very fine and not intrusive.
Note that this knife is a bit wider than many. The stag portion extends a little wider than my previous knife. This, of course, is Yin-and-Yang. It's bulky in a pocket but it's very easy to use and grip.
Customer Review: You can never have too many Gerber knives
Summary: 4 Stars
You can never have too many Gerber knives. I must own 40 different knives. This has a real stag handle.
Very nice and a must have for any collection.

Summary: 4 Stars
Thanks to the reviews on Amazon, I knew in advance that this Gerber was made in China. I ordered it fully prepared to send it back. However, after receiving it, there's no way it's going back. The fit and finish on this knife easily compares to that on Bulldog's, Hen & Rooster's, Queen, Case and perhaps even Schatt & Morgan. For those who know fine folders, that's saying a lot. What makes this one so impressive is that it sells for a third to a fourth of what those other brands sell for and actually has a few features not found on most small stockmen knives such as a locking main blade and etched bolsters. My sample "walks and talks", meaning that even the two slipjoint blades snap into place with the proper click. A caution on price, I've seen this knife for sale from $12 to $35 so pick your best deal. The one thing I don't like about it is the Sambar Stag handles, while handsome, are considerably thicker than what I've come to expect on a small stockman knife. This means it's a fat little thing that does create a minor pocket bulge and is perhaps a bit heavier than it really needs to be. But, at less than $20 with free shipping, I'd say this is a no-brainer. I may even order more of these as gifts.
