    The scabbard is shite, I need to have a decent one made. Sadly, I haven't had to use it for its intended purpose.
    No one's stopping you from taking pictures of wildlife, with it in the frame.

    Agree with Brutal that the leather Gerber leather sheath is crappola. No confidence in the knife being secure from loss.

    I have the S30V steel version of Gerber Freeman. Beautiful knife, good feel in hand and seems very sharp. Should be a fine game knife but so far I'm disappointed. Have used it on four elk and two pronghorn. I struggled to field dress two elk with it last fall, not sure why but it didn't cut well. Afterward I asked a friend and outfitter if he thought the knife felt sharp. He said yes. But, it was dull on the hide and didn't do the job like my trusty 45 yr. old Buck Special. Hmmm, I really don't know why.


    Great-Kazoo also identified the bear and cat tracks but so far no one has explained the identifying characteristics of the tracks.
