Description:

Therees a time in a guy's life when he might start thinking he has too many knives. But when you show him one of these well maybe he starts thinking that there's room for one more. After all the AR 3.0 and 3.5 represent hybrid knife design at its best.You're looking at the near-perfectbination of strength balance ergonomics minimal weight and a stylized look that can rightly be described as bad to the bone.Sure the AR models are easily opened with one hand. Sure their mechanics are silky smooth. Sure the pocketclip is the essence of convenience. And sure they're built from a caliber of stainless steel that simplymands respect. But what you might not expect is the innovative blend of die-cast aluminum and Softgrip® inserts in the handle. To a lot of guys this is a must-have knife.Overall Length: 6.95" Length Closed: 4.08" Length of Blade: 2.95" Weight: 2.8 oz.

5Sturdy KnifeJan 02, 2009
By Cerebellum
This is a great knife. It stays sharp for a very long time and is very sturdy. The handle on it is very comfortable and easy to grip. It can open and close very smoothly and it locks into place very securely. I have used this knife for many projects and on many camp outs, and it held up well for all of them. The belt clip on it is also very secure and durable. If looks are a factor, this knife covers that to. It looks very sleek and has a cool design. I strongly recommend this knife to anyone who needs a sharp, durable knife.

5Made my husband very happy!Sep 21, 2008
By Consuela Lyn Shore "Constant Gardener"
My husband had asked for a new knife for his birthday. His only specifications were that it be a Gerber. Thanks to Amazon.com, I can read reviews on many styles. I chose the AR05849 3.0 Black, Serrated Edge due to its rugged good looks and the available reviews. My husband, as well as his co-workers, loves it. He uses it many times everyday and continues to comment on how it holds its edge.

5Great full-size pocket knifeSep 09, 2007
By R. Weinberg
I've had this for a couple of years, and the blade locks open as solidly as when I bought it - no jiggle or play. Once you become familiar with it, it's very easy to open and close with one hand - great if you are holding, say, a box that needs to be opened in one hand and need to grab your knife with the other.

It may be a bit largish for casually pulling out in the presence of other people - a bit intimidating perhaps - but a very useful size, and the serration comes in handy for certain hard-to-cut materials. If I ever decide to get a smaller knife, I'll be sure it has the main features of this one: one-hand opening and solidly locking blade.

3Good enough for light workApr 11, 2010
By JR Plaza
I received one of these knives as a hand me down and used it extensively for a few months. It was predominately used for cutting rope, boxes, feed bags and cans. The ergonomics are great and the serrations assist the knife's functionality and prolong the blade's edge. The aesthetic value is a selling point, however I don't like the closed back of the knife which forms a reservoir for grime and dirt.

There was one troubling characteristic to my knife. The liner lock eventually failed in the manner mentioned in a previous review. If enough force and torsion was applied to the blade, the liner lock would slip. Granted, I was using an older knife that had been beaten up a good bit. I would exercise caution if you want to use this blade for heavy duty work. It's a good looking general purpose knife, but if you are going to be doing some heavy duty work with it you should search elsewhere for a safe and reliable utility blade.

5A tuff little knifeJan 10, 2010
By Madcatimages
I have had this knife for awhile now. Probably at least 4 years now. I haven't had a single problem with it. Nothing is coming loose. The blade locks firmly into place and stays there. I use this knife for everything. Not just for cutting either, I have used it for a crowbar, hammer, screwdriver, scraper, axe/saw (small shrubs), and many other things. This knife is holding up fine. The only signs of wear are the black "paint" on the blade and clip is wearing off. When I first bought this knife I thought the rubber would come off. Well, 4+ years later the rubber is still on the knife.
Don't let others scare you away from this knife because they said it's not made in the USA. This is a very well built knife and looks great too!
