 Does pretty much everything you could hope it could do November 14, 2008
I would easily recommend this knife to anybody who thinks it would be nice to have.
The opening mechanism is slick and effective without coming off as automatically scary or threatening when used sensibly. I think this knife could be considered a good safety item for someone that spends a lot of time in a boat, air plane, or pretty much any vehicle. If you are ever caught in a situation where you only have one hand/arm available and you need to cut something, like if you were in an accident and needed to cut a seatbelt off but its holding down one arm, this would be the knife to have, and its small enough to always be near and not take up a lot of space or add a lot of weight.
The one thing keeping this knife from getting 5 stars, and it is kind of a big one is that it is easily possible for the knife to open when the lock is in place, its more like a spring off button then a true lock. Compounding this problem is that once the knife opens enough the lock is disengaged and the knife is "fully loaded" and ready to spring back open at any time.

Not the prettiest knife I've ever owned March 8, 2008

I was a little disappointed about the sharpness out of the box. A couple of swipes on a sharpening steel changed all that. Like I said, this is not the prettiest knife I've ever owned but it just shouts efficient tool. If you're right handed. I am and everything is right where it should be. With a little practice, the time from pocket to use is a matter of a second.
The blade is substantial and sturdy, I've used mine for anything from chipping ice to slicing up pork ribs.

I bought the Mini quick draw first and was so impressed with it's feel and function that I bought it's big brother and I can say that I was not disappointed.
Gerber sends excellently sharpened blades from the factory. With only minor honing and polishing, this knife takes a truly frighteningly sharp edge and holds it for a very long time. The workings are a bit slower than the Mini due to the greater mass in the Quick Draw (Sr.) blade.
One of the complaints I've consistently read for both models of these knives is that they "can open in your pocket." I believe this to be Liberalistic Chicken Little'ism rather than any factual based experience.
Both blades must be opened approximately 30 degrees before they'll spring and there is a distinct CLICK in the locking mechanism JUST before this point is reached.
Certainly, one must be cautious with such an implement, but we do not need to create the impression of danger where there is none and only nominal "common sense" is required for safe function.
Great pocket knife February 13, 2008

This knife has a safety switch, which you have to push up to open. You then can open it, and then the fun begins, with the spring-assisted opening taking over to flip completely open.
Because of the safety switch, this knife is less likely to open accidentally in a pocket than most knives.
This is a larger knife, with the handle that fits my hand nicely.
