Gerber Ghoststrike
Well, I have to give Gerber 5 stars for the concept. As many of us know, a concealed weapon is not always a gun. And, if you have significant knife training, it can save lives and defeat an attack quickly and quietly. Unfortunately, beyond the design and concept, this knife gets 2 stars for quality, construction, and usability (hence, the 3 stars overall).
The whole reason for my purchase of this knife was NOT to open letters and packages. It is and should be considered a weapon. Period. Well, this weapon misses the mark. First, they use metal rivets to hold the knife in the sheath that is apparently stronger than the blade. Therefore, the blade dulls very quickly (bad plan for a weapon). Secondly, the handle is skeleton (I assume for weight) but is very flexible (second bad idea for a weapon). So, in the end, I have a weapon with a dull blade (just from merely placing it in the sheath) and a flexible handle. Needless to say, it's become my 3rd string backup as I search for a better replacement.
I don't recommend it if you're looking for a functional weapon that is easy to conceal. I do however recommend it if you want to "look" like someone trained to use it as a weapon, enhance your "cool" factor, and want a false sense of security.
