Gerber Gear TRI-Tip Mini Cleaver Fixed Blade Camping Knife with Molle Sheath for Survival and Bushcrafting

it is very sturdy and durable and exudes quality. it is fairly sharp. i use this successfully to slice off flakes from tobacco plugs. it is a small knife but works perfectly for me in that application. i could think if better wilderness survival knives than this one but if you need a cleaver out in the wilds, unless you want to carry a full size one, this one will do the trick.

It was on sale for less than half of retail value, $20 for this blade is wild. The sheath is very sturdy and fits onto a belt nicely. I would recommend this knife to anyone.

The pictures online don't do it justice. It's a beautiful piece in person. It's well done in it's entirety. I was surprised at how much better the green scales looked in person. Well worth the price. Even the sheath is well done. It is a shorter handle, 3 fingers for me, but there are definitely several roles it could fill easily.

Great little cleaver. I wanted this since it was released by Gerber. It is so easy to use but finding a practical purpose is a bit harder to do than a “normal” knife. So far it has been great for cutting boars head salami and different cheeses. Awesome knife to add to a collection. Keeps its edge well and easier to sharpen than a regular blade. The sheath leaves something to be desired. The sheath is sturdy and keeps the knife contained nicely but, even with the mounting clip moved to a different location, it is difficult to put the blade back in or pull it out. So far the best carry I have found for it is to carry it on my side, normally like to ranger carry, and the sheath to be concidered upside down.

Gerber really got it right with this small, fixed blade cleaver. It’s a fantastic option for camping and can easily be used as an EDC knife of fixed blades are your thing.I’ve used it to prep some ribs and a few other things around the kitchen and I can say I’m pretty impressed. The black coating keeps the blade free from rust and the overall aesthetics of the knife are great. The 7Cr17MoV steel came sharp out of the box and is holding up well. It’s a reliable budget steel that holds up really well for the price and it won’t break your heart if you chip it or have to sharpen it. Blade stock is full tang, weighty and fairly thick. Aluminum handle has great texture and is easy to grip when wet.The sheath is well built, simple and has a sturdy thumb release. Belt loop is a decent size and it sits flush to the body when on a belt.For under $40 it’s a great addition to anyone’s camp, truck, kitchen or EDC gear. I highly recommend it.

Keep it in the kitchen awesome knife

Been looking for a good camp site food prep knife. Gerber got the mark with this one!! Been eyeing it since it came out, price and availability on amazon, made me say F$@& It. This thing is great! Can not be happier. Love the clicking sheathe, and ability to switch to scout carry. But I really love the way this thing can process some protein!! So sharp, easy to use, great weight, great ergo’s even with the tiny looking handle. I bet it could chop through wood, be used to baton, all the heavier duty wood uses. But all I’ve used it for is for food prep and can not be more ecstatic! Would buy again!

I bought this after reading, and watching enough stuff to know what I was getting. I'm a big guy, big hands, so I was hesitant knowing it's small. Well, I can say it will work for me......on my fishing boat. Yeah, you could use it in your kitchen, but it's not really that practical. I'll use it for bait, and chopping, as this has a bit of weight to it. The edge was sharp out of the sheath. That sheath isn't worth a hoot, but great for longterm storage. I would find something else if you plan on pulling out this little clever much. For me, not an issue. It will be out all day, until washed, and put away until the next trip. This clever has obviously a bottom blade, with a front scraper. It's not sharp, but will scrap stuff out, or off if needed. Would I buy again......nah. I just wanted one, not needed one. Hope this helps you decide one way or the other. Last bit of info, it's made in China. That's how it's affordable.
