Gerber Scout Review | A Great Design Held Back by the Wrong Steel
Gerber has been on a slow upward climb over the last few years and the Scout is one of the clearest examples of how close they are to making truly competitive knives again. The design is excellent. The feel in hand is fantastic. The lock and mechanics rival knives that cost twice the price. But all of that momentum hits a wall when you look at the blade steel. At around sixty dollars the Scout should have been a home run. Instead it lands squarely in the almost category good enough to use but not good enough to recommend without a major asterisk.
