Gerber Gear Quadrant

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.

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

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

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.

Love this thing! The blade works great and comes sharp out of the package. It's super lightweight and the bamboo handle gives it a nice feel. Quality steel and constructed simply, which is great. The size is a little smaller than average, but I personally like the compactness. It slips in your pocket fast and easy, with the clip mounted high on the handle so you can barely see it. The only issue out of the package, and it's an easy one to solve, is that the blade lock is super tight, so unlocking it with one hand was hard. To fix it, you just have to bend the blade lock out a little bit to loosen it. I'd buy another one, great for a gift for anybody that needs a pocket knife.

Nice little knife. I like the size, the design, and the wood handles. It locks really strong. It was extremely sharp out of the box. Would buy again.

This is an awesome knife! I love how the clip keeps it super secure in my pocket (& doesn’t migrate up/out), but it sits really deep too, and that’s perfect for finding that balance of keeping it secure but also easily reachable. The blade is excellent, the handle is smooth—yet grippy with the bamboo, and it locks. That said, it’s a pain to unlock, but it’s also a little bit of a pain to deploy, and I think both will loosen up with more usage (although the latter probably won’t improve as much because it involves a very stiff piece of metal). I do appreciate how it’s absolutely not going to accidentally unlock though. In sum, it’s not really a flipper knife, but it’s a really solid pocket knife! I’ll be using it for utilitarian stuff and it’s gonna be excellent for that. Also the blade comes sharp & with a little more sharpening, it could definitely be used to shave! Update after a couple days: I’ve been fidgeting with it a bit and it opens way easier now. A little flick of the wrist and it’ll flip open super easy. It’s still loosening up even more but it LOCKS, so still a super functional folder!

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.

Buenisimo producto, muy buena calidad, solido, diseño muy padre, llega con un filo bastante bueno…definitivamente lo recomiendo

all good

La calidad es sorprendente, el filo dura muchísimo y resiste uso rudo y continuo, la mejor opción para una navaja de bolsillo para uso diario.

The knife is nice, smooth action and sharp blade but the clip snapped after 2 weeks. So far, I have not found a replacement clip

Vale lo que cuesta, es una navaja con un diseño muy elegante, viene muy filosa y cumple con lo especificado. La función de abrir se llama "finger flipper" y es mecánica, este tipo de navajas requieren un poco de ayuda de movimiento con el brazo es normal, no es "assited opening" ni "automatic opening" por lo que no abren así casi de manera automática con el dedo, esto ocurre en este tipo de apertura en todas las marcas. Vale la pena la verdad 800 te los gastas en una salida a cenar con la familia, esta navaja te va a durar años, cuidándola un poco toda la vida.
