Gerber: River Shorty Knife - Altrec.com Product Description:

Most of the time you will only need your knife to spread cream cheese on your bagel. However, in case of a rescue situation where you need quick access to a knife, this knife is easy to pull from the sheath and comfortable to grip in a wet & cold environment. This mid-sized knife is a favorite among commercial river guides. Molded friction release sheaths clip to a belt or the lash tab on your PFD. The River Shorty&$153; features a fully serrated edge and a blunt tip to prevent accidents during a rescue.

Total Length: 6.75"
Blade: 3.5"

Great knife for rescue I would say this knife is great as far as safety and kayak rescue but it does have it's limitations as far as an overall camping knife. But that is not what the description states. It is a great knife and it has actually kept me from sticking myself with the blunt end. I would recomend this knife. I am glad I bought it for my trip down the Suwannee in March.

Excellent, but where to put it? I like this knife a lot. The blunt tip prevents you from stabbing the wrong thing, and the serrated edge will cut through anything in an instant. The knife is just long enough without being too long, and is so light its hard to tell its there. Its very well designed except for the holstering the sheath. While I can put it on my rescue belt if I am wearing a rescue PFD (and believe me, this knife never will come off where it is put on), the sheath is simply too big to put onto a lash tab. When I am not wearing a rescue PFD (and not coincidentally need maximum mobility) I have nowhere to put it. This is my single complaint.

Price is right... I am a kayaking guide out of Beverly, Essex, Marblehead and Newburyport, MA and i got this knife at the biggining of my second season. This knife is great and for the size of it, the price is fantastic and the quality of the knife is exsactly what one would exspect from Gerber products. BUY IT!
