I have a Gerber 525 Presentation hunting knife I will never sell as well as several Gerber Legendary Blades carving knives that are fantastic. My only complaint with them is they are hard to get an edge on but once you do it stays there for a long long time.

That would be correct. The reason I've ever purchased them in the past was their reputation. Not so much anymore. It's too bad
