Quadrant

I have had this for almost 4 years. Only had to sharpen it Twice. Retains and edge very well and feels great in the hand. For it being a cheaper knife and the price of it you cant beat it. Cuts through everything having the blade shape it does especially good for cardboard and other heavy duty materials. Sharpens easy and very good lock and size fits my hand very well and lock is easy to use and easy to open/close. Mine is still in my EDC rotation and very nice design on it.

I bought this over a year ago for my husband as an early Christmas gift. It quickly became his favorite knife and everyday carry. It is the perfect size to fit in his front pants pocket or jacket pocket. It is nice looking and is made very well. It's a Gerber so you can't go wrong, they make product that are durable and that last. It has a nice, solid weight to it but isn't too heavy or bulky. It works great in the garage, out camping, or anywhere you need a solid, dependable knife. Absolutely love and recommend!! Makes a great gift!!

Activating the thumb stud does not cause the blade to fully extend, since there is no spring assist. So extending the blade is a two step process. Not convenient in one handed operations. However, the blade is very sharp and robust. Typical Gerber quality. I won't EDC it, but I'll keep it around for opening the many Amazon boxes that my wife has delivered.

I like how it's lightweight and sleek, well made, just would like the blade to be a little more durable

Really liking the Gerber Quadrant so far. The bamboo inlay gives it a sharp, clean look that doesn’t feel like every other blacked-out pocket knife on the planet. The blade came sharp out of the box, the deployment is smooth, and the frame lock feels secure with no wobble. It’s lightweight but still feels solid in hand, and the pocket clip keeps it tight without shredding your pocket. Definitely more of an EDC/utility knife than a heavy-duty workhorse, but it handles everyday tasks with no problem at all. The design gets compliments, the build quality is solid, and it opens and closes cleanly with one hand. For the price, it’s a stylish, dependable little knife. Would absolutely buy again.

Perfect compact size. Fits in the small jean pocket. Blade is sharp out of the packaging. The only downside is that it comes out of the package too tight so when you try to open it with one hand it was hard to do. I loosened it and now i can open it with one hand.

The Gerber Quadrant has a good overall size for pocket carry. The handle feels comfortable in hand and the weight is reasonable for everyday use. The blade shape and length are practical and well suited for light utility tasks like boxes, cord, and general cutting. The bamboo handle looks fine, but it does not add much in terms of grip or function. It feels more like a cosmetic choice than a practical one. The frame lock itself is solid and inspires confidence once the blade is open. In fact, the lockup is very strong and I have had it lock so tightly that it took some effort to disengage. The biggest downside is the opening action. The flipper does not deploy smoothly and opening the knife is not pleasant or fluid. It works, but it feels stiff and awkward compared to other knives in this size class. If quick or one handed opening matters to you, this is something to be aware of. It's very slow to open and doesn't just flip out. Overall, the Quadrant has a good blade and solid lock, but the rough opening action and unnecessary bamboo handle keep it from being a favorite. It is usable and sturdy, just not especially refined.

Nice little nice! Sharp, light, durable, and compact.
