I have one Gerber MP600. I might get a Dime today!

I got the Dime!!!

.... and? .... thoughts?

Tools are hard to get out. Very stiff. Knife is awesome! Pliers work very well. Heavy for a keychain MT.

so, a British member asks for pictures, and a Canadian member replies with a picture of a United States  dime.   :rofl:

Here's a list of Gerber stuff that I know of having in my possesion.

(14) Gerber Knives: Fast Draw Fine, (2) Fast Draw Serrated, Rivermate, Mini Fast Draw, Obsidian, Hinderer Rescue Serrated, Paraframe II, Guardian Back-up, LST Drop Point Fine, Torch I Tanto, Volloton Serrated, Kiowa Tanto, Gut Hook.

(7) Gerber MT's: 4-MP600's (MP600 DET Black, MP600 Basic Needlenose Black, MP600 Pro Scout Stainless, MP600 Basic Needlenose Stainless), MP400 Compact Sport Stainless, Recoil Stainless, Suspension.

(10) Gerber Lights: Option 50, RX-350, Recon LED, Infinity Ultra Task White LED, Infinity Ultra Task Red LED, Tritac, Sonic Keychain Task Light, Hail (battery damage), Firecracker (battery damage), Cornea (lost)

Artifact, Pocket Diamond Sharpener, Pocket Sharpener.


I usually EDC the Fast Draw serrated and Artifact whenever I go out. The Hinderer Rescue and Gut Hook is always in the pocket of my truck door. The Rivermate sometimes goes out with me on the water. The Tritac and the RX-350 is usually in my Camelbak MULE whenever I take it.

Even though I have several MT's, I prefer to use my Leatherman MT's. I may start using the Gerber MT's in rotation.

Thanks.  :D

Most of the above except for 3 of the MP600's were all bought while I was on Active Duty and mostly impulse buys. Been Retired from the Marine Corps for 5 1/2 years now.

I've got five Gerber tools.  A Dime, two MP600s, a Curve and an eFECT.

The Dime is fantastic.  I actually prefer several aspects of it to the Leatherman Squirt PS4, like the stiffness of the springs.  It keeps the tools from folding up on me during use.  The knife is also superior, and the bottle opener is actually useful.  Tweezers are a plus.

The MP600s are good to go, and served me quite well in Afghanistan- Though I do prefer my Leatherman Wave to them, primarily because it's better at being a knife, which is what I use most often.

The Curve is now disused.  I don't care for it and don't carry it.  Were it not shoddily made, it could be quite good.

The eFECT is a neat tool, and works well enough for what it is.  I dare say it's gimmicky though.  Rarely did I use anything but the sight adjustment tool when I was in the Army, and that broke.  I also don't like the way it's held in place with a magnet.  For the other features, it made more sense to use a proper cleaning kit.

Currently, only three.

Mini Suspension S and Mini Suspension P
And the Bear Grylls Survival Tool Pack ('strata')

I had a Dime, and felt it was edged out in usefulness by the Squirt PS4, so gave it to my brother. I tried and traded away an MP400. I'll likely try other models this year as funds allow.

Oh, I forgot.  My wife has a pink Splice, and I have a Vise that I found at work.  Both are pretty much junk in my opinion.

I've got a Dime, and it's probably the the only Gerber I'll ever own.
Maybe I've missed the good ones, but any Gerber product I've had hands-on with feels like it should say CHINA somewhere on it.

Which ones have you tried?  The MP series are solid tools IMO.
