Gerber E Z Out Jr Knife Review
The Gerber E-Z Out Jr is an excellent value knife and is my personal choice for everyday carry.
It features:
Overall Length: 5.48 inches (13.92 cm)
Closed Length: 3.22 inches (8.18 cm)
Blade Length: 2.38 inches (6.05 cm)
Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm
Clip Point Blade made of 420HC Stainless Steel
Thumb hole in blade for easy one-handed opening
Lock-Back design
Glass-filled Nylon handle with SoftGrip inserts
Pocket Clip for Tip-Down Carry
Weight: 1.4 ounces (39.69 grams)
MSRP: $39.95 but available at Amazon.com for $25 with free shipping
Things I would change:
I wish it had SoftGrip inserts that covered the entire handle like the Gerber Gator.
Put jimping on the thumb-ramp
Make the pocket clip lower-riding and removable
Not necessary but it would be nice if the pivot screw for the knife was adjustable - allowing for disassembly/cleaning.
Despite these shortcomings, the E-Z Out Jr is rugged, lightweight, and an incredible bargain for such a quality knife.
Highly recommended.
