(This article is a review of the Gerber Swagger knife. The specific model reviewed is the partially-serrated version, but a fine edge version of the Swagger is also available from Gerber. Please add your own experiences with this knife in the comments at the end of this review.)
At a Christmas party I got a Gerber Swagger knife during a gift exchange. I’ll take a knife as a gift anytime, and I have owned several Gerber knives so this was a welcomed addition.
THE BLADE
This Gerber knife has a 3.2” blade according to the packaging, or 3.3” if you go to the Gerber website. That’s not the first time I’ve seen differences from packaging and websites. Measuring my blade it would appear that it’s closer to the 3.2” if I measure to the furthest extension of the grip, which extends out in the middle and tapers back to the sides. If I measure to the sides of the grip, behind the point on the blade, I could see the 3.3” measurement.
