I now own three of these Gerber knives, as well as a fourth "baby" Gerber, just like the 8445 but about 1/3 smaller. The blades hold an edge, the knife is light weight to carry, and most importantly, to me, is that when you lock the blade open it is locked! It does not wiggle or wobble or move. The moving parts are machined to tight tolerances, and it shows when the blade is locked and you use it. I lost my first Gerber, and bought two more just like the first to replace it. I could have bought any other knife, but I chose to replace my 8445 with the exact same kind. Why? Because I consider it to be the best knife I've ever owned.

It's great quality knife, the one thing i don't like about it is the two knots on either side of the blade,other then that it's a great knife.;
