releasing some really interesting knife designs lately, such as the Quadrant
that we?re about to talk about in this review. But let?s rewind to the first new
Gerber Knife that really caught my eye?The Fastball that I?ve talked about over
on my Instagram. I bring up the Fastball because I feel like Gerber is coming
back onto the radar for a lot of knife collectors, myself included. They?re
making some great steps as a company by bringing a lot of their manufacturing
back to Portland, Oregon. And, in the case of the Gerber Quadrant, they?re
producing some really interesting Chinese Knives again too. Since the Gerber
Quadrant is brand new and not even being sold in most places yet, here are some
specs: Bamboo Handle (also offered in a white g10 composite handle) Frame Lock
7Cr17Mov Blade Steel 2.7? Blade Length Straight Edge Sheepsfoot Blade Flipper
Opening Deep Carry Pocket Clip Black Textured Frame Made in China (Designed in
Oregon) Price: Around $30 This is certainly a great option for someone who wants
a classy looking gentleman?s folder that won?t break the bank. But, let?s dig a
little further into the knife?s performance since I?ve been carrying it. GERBER
QUADRANT BLADE SHAPE The blade shape is one of the most unique parts about the
Gerber Quadrant and quite honestly the thing that appealed to me the most.
However, it is also the one thing that takes the most getting used to when using
the knife. Since the blade does not have a pronounced spear-point type of tip,
you?ll find yourself using the blade in a different way than most other pocket
knives. It works great for scoring types of cuts like you would do with a box
cutter. You can also utilize the far end of the blade edge for precise cuts.
Overall, I really enjoy the blade shape as a fun change-up from the status quo.
GENTLEMAN?S KNIFE Never have I owned a knife that screams ?Gentleman?s Knife?
more than the Gerber Quadrant. This knife has so much appeal and gets so much
attention because of its classic design. It?s quite simply a beautiful knife and
an instant classic in my collection. GERBER QUADRANT DEEP CARRY CLIP Speaking of
getting attention?We?re going to talk about the exact opposite with the
Quadrant?s deep-carry clip. The deep-carry clip totally buries the Quadrant into
your pocket and hides it fully. The silver finish of the clip also works very
well with light colored pants, if you want to be as inconspicuous as possible. I
have not once had an issue with this clip snagging on anything or allowing the
knife to slip away from my pocket either. Gerber did a really fantastic job with
this clip. GERBER QUADRANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW Cutting Ability: The Gerber
Quadrant has been a great performer so far and I have sharpened it a bit as well
(more on that in a second). I have cut through a ton of stuff with great results
so far: Paracord, packing tape, jute twine, scraps of leather, paper backdrops
here in my photography studio?You name it. I?ve even done a bit of food prep
with this knife and it works great for cutting up veggies. Sharpening: As with
most of these budget-friendly blade steels, the 7Cr17MoV blade steel will need
some sharpening a bit sooner than higher end/harder steels?That?s just a part of
the game on these affordable knives. With that said, it is a very easy knife to
resharpen in all regards. I?m able to get it back to shaving like a razor with
my Work Sharp Field Sharpener in a matter of minutes (using the fine ceramic
stone & strop loaded with green compound). GERBER QUADRANT LOCKUP &
ACTION The lockup on the Gerber Quadrant is around 100% of the frame lock. I
have not been able to make it engage any further than that and it has always
been really easy to unlock. The action on the Gerber Quadrant is really smooth
with a slight flick of your wrist. GERBER QUADRANT FIT & FINISH The overall
fit & finish on the Quadrant is nice. Especially given its sub $30 price.
Here are some quick points about the fit & finish as I?m holding it and
writing this review: All of the edges are very smooth and have no hot-spots. The
bamboo handle is a classy touch. All of the screws fit nice and flush. I love
the grind lines on the satin portion of the blade. The factory bevels and edge
arrived shaving sharp. However, The Quadrant?s actual cutting edge is not 100%
straight. As you can see below, the edge sort of curves a little bit. I want to
say this is on purpose to give it a more authentic look like a straight razor,
but I?m not sure. With that said, this doesn?t affect performance or cutting
abilities, but it?s something I noticed right away.
