GERBERGear 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.

Gerbers blades are usually good and durable, with no exceptions with this one, it's lightweight, easy to carry in pocket or on belt, with its leather sheath its sharp and fits well in the hand.

Nice knife but think it needs to be in the 30-40 range it’s good but sheath is kinda lame , package is very giftable , came sharp , feels good in the hand , very light will see about durability know it’s 420 so not a great steel but it’s not that bad , for the current price I would think a nicer steel would be used , 420Puts it in the $35 range

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.

If you are looking for a Cleaver, look elsewhere. This is NOT a Cleaver. It's really more of a nice little rolling chopper/cutter. Half way between a knife and a Cleaver. The cutting edge is actually curved, not straight. Pay careful attention to its size in the photos. It's about half the size of a traditional cleaver. However it is about as heavy. The handle could be just a tad longer, but when you hold it like a french knife, it fits perfectly even in my gigantic man-hands! The blade itself is wonderlicious however the Sheath (if it can be called that) does leave something to be desired. It's a Kydex contraption with removeable and relocatable screws. You can mount the "Belt attachment" a number of different ways so that it hangs down a tad lower, or sideways, or even upside down. Unfortunately, the Belt attachment is way too wide and does not curve. So you will feel it.The knife is retained in the sheath by a VERY heavy Kydex lever stop which makes it rattle free and has a VERY positive lock.

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.

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.
