Query: Big, big disappointment from Gerber

I bought one of these knives at Bass Pro several years ago. While it is a Gerber, it is one of the imports--not one of the domestic Gerbers that made the reputation. The blade sharpens easily and holds an edge fairly well. but after little use, I stopped using this knife and put it away. The problem is the liner lock. It does not securely lock the blade in place. A bump or twisting motion disengages the lock and that is Not A Good Thing. This happens often with cheaply made liner lock knives and this Gerber is no exception.While my knife seems to be fairly well made except for the locking mechanism, a friend of mine had one that was so sloppily built the blade rattled when in the locked position. When I saw his knife I told him he probably should get something made better. The next time I saw him, I gave him one of my Spyderco knives so he wouldn't continue to use this poorly made Gerber.If you have one of these, be careful with it.
