Not as advertised - Gerber Propel AO 3.5in Automatic Folding Knives

This is not an auto knife. It looks like an auto, but it's just a spring assisted knife. The knife was so tight out of the box it would not open as designed. After applying oil, making adjustment, and trying to break the knife in, the knife is still very stiff. I still can't count on the knife opening every time I need it with one hand. The knife is very difficult to open right handed. This knife works a little better left handed, but is still very stiff. The grip texture is a little too aggressive, and the unless you are wearing gloves the knife is uncomfortable to hold. Because of the aggressive grip, the knife gets hung up in my pockets and is not easy retrieve or store. This knife is a POS, don't buy it, spend a few more bucks and get a real auto.
