I bought this knife on SAC and really like it. It's light weight and simple in construction, yet I prefer carrying this around rather that some of the more "gimmicky" knives I've purchased in the past. I highly recommend this to anyone who is not a knife-elitist that wants a blade to get the job done.

This little guy has been my back up blade for years! I tied a small lanyard with a monkey fist in the lanyard hole. The knife slips up the sleeve of my wetsuit and stays there all day paddling, kite boarding, etc. The steel is incredible- I spent some time with a DMS diamond stone and the little guy will shave the thick hair on my legs (Too much information?).

Folded, it's about the size of a bandaid. Fits perfectly in small first aid kits, without adding weight or bulk. Holds an edge fairly well, for 420 steel. If you're an ultralighter, this might serve as your primary, but I'd recommend something a bit stronger.

At barely over an ounce & very sharp, the Gerber L.S.T. is a good choice for a second or extra knife. I keep mine in my emergency kit & use it from time to time. Great to use as a paring knife. Nice handle.

What it is: an ultra-light, shi#tty knife that you won't care about, don't mind losing or destroying, and will primarily be used for cutting cheese.

And it's great. Cuts cheese like a charm, doesn't rust, hasn't broken.

Bought a couple of these more than 20 years ago and have always had one in my pocket - sometimes as a backup, sometimes for survival, sometimes just for fun. Served me well for more than half my Marine Corps career and now as a police officer. I will always carry a Gerber knife.

This is my third Gerber LST knife. I like the size, weight, and thinness especially. I broke the other two knives but it was because of misuse on my part - using it as a pry bar. One had a serrated section toward the handle which I found very useful. My favorite pocket knife.
