I was wondering if the edges are sharp on this item. I'm asking because Amazon lists an almost identical item. However, according to reviews of the other item, the edges are sharp at the handle. The price difference between the two is about $10, with this one being more expensive. So, I was wondering if this item is pretty much the same as the other listing. This item looks like it's of better quality, but I can't really tell from the pictures alone. Thanks. I was wondering if the edges are sharp on this item.

Sorry for the delayed answer, but no the edge are not sharp. It is quite comfortable to handle. Cheers!

I've never noticed any sharp edges but now that you ask, I found that the inner edges around the handles are a little sharp. But you would really have to go out of your way to cut yourself on it. I've had this product for several months and have never cut myself on it. I would highly recommend this growler.

The edges are a little sharp, but not so sharp that you would cut yourself. It's ok to carry when full. I bought the expensive one stamped with DRBP (or something like that ) because I also purchased the picnic tap fitting from the same company. I'm a believer in you get what you pay for. Mine is from Deep river brewing or similar name.

I have a friend who bought the "more" expensive one and it works just the same. The difference I see its the handle and that ours its bit more square looking. This one gets drop on the floor constantly, step on and smash...I would not pay a dime more! She still loves it, and its been months since we bought it. Now she makes her own drawings and tells us what she is making (she is 22 months).

They look the same to me, judging by the pictures. The only difference seems to be different sellers. So I assume the more expensive one is the same item, but the seller is just charging more for it. They both have free shipping.

I have seen multiple listings for the same products before. I look at each one to compare the difference - some could be newer models. I typically order from the listing if Amazon sells it.As for the comment about buying an Ergo. They are good, a friend bought one, keep in mind that if you have an infant you may need to by the insert as well.Which ever carrier you buy I highly recommend following the instructions or getting help from some one who knows how. We got help from a local business that knew how to use it properly and we have had no issues with the Becco besides putting slip covers over the plastic snaps.

I have an old turner like this but the brand is "Geneva Forge". I've been looking for a replacement since the handle has gradually separated from the rivets due to my neglect over the years. I've soaked it in soapy water, which shouldn't be done with any wood handled utensil (though mine is probably 20 years old). The one I have has a beveled edge, which isn't sharp like a knife, but the tapered edge is very useful in getting under eggs and foods that are sticking to a pan. Can someone tell me if this turner has a beveled edge or is it just square? It's hard to tell by the photos.

Thank you very much, after reading both reviews, I was wondering the exact same thing. Since essentially they are the same, i will purchase the less expensive. Thanks again

The one I received & have used a lot does not have sharp edges at all. In my case it is just what I wanted & would highly recommend it.

To me, sharp means something which might have the ability to cut you. I used mine again just last night. Each edge is not just rounded, it is turned into itself. Especially for the price, it is nicely made. It is thin metal. The (turned), edges make the piece stronger. You might say it is on the flimsy side, but definitely NOT sharp edges. It might be taller, stronger, but definitely no sharp edges.

I wouldn't consider mine sharp out-of-the-box at all - definitely a rough sharpened edge as it should, just waiting for the final job - it's a little inconvenient unless you're used to it, but sharpening these yourself is absolutely the preferred way - I think they make these with that in mind - those who want to use it will finish the job, but for the people who want to display it, it's still kind of safe to be aroundit's absolutely ready to use even out of the box, but you'll want to sharpen it if you're serious about it

I've purchased these blades via local retail and also online thru Amazon, and can't tell the difference. Like many other products, they may not be the same quality as something made 20 years ago, but to my knowledge there is no tiered production like some items (trail mix for example) that has one blend for retail sale and a lower quality blend for "club store" sales. I worked in the food industry years ago and was aware of how some things were marketed, but regarding hard items everything I have purchased from Amazon is the same exact item I would receive from another online or local retailer.

I use an ultimate oil sharpening system from sharpening supplies. Com. My leek is my last favorite knife, I'm not sure if I got a funky one or what is deal is. It appears as though there is a dual angle beveled edge on the blade. I have been trying to figure it out but half way up the blade it changes angle. I use it as a letter opener now. I'm probably not much help when it comes to this knife. I bought a Kershaw salvo for$10 on ebay that I use daily and feel its a way better knife.

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

Just ordered a third for my youngest son. The two before are both 50th anniversary as shown, bought directly from Amazon for the best price around. Not to dissuade you guys from buying from the 3rd party sellers, but pricewise right now even with taxes, and without the hassle of contacting the 3rd party seller to make sure you get a 50th anniversary knife, why veer away from Amazon?

I have noticed the price displayed on Cold Steel's website is ALWAYS exorbitantly high. I like Cold Steel knives very much, but I would never buy from their website, when the self same knife can be had at a more reasonable price...like here at Amazon.

I found that Ka-Bar knife is not as sharp as Gerber. Regardless of where they made, if the quality of the product don't deliver then you lose customers. I don't mind to pay a little extra more if the product uphold the quality.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Honestly, I think it's the same knife from different sellers. The picture looks the exact same. In any case, it's a pretty good knife, a little tight to open, but that's better than too loose. I don't think Gerber offers the same style knife in different steel qualities. I bought the one certified by Amazon just in case it was wrong and I had to return it. That's usually the safest bet. Good luck!
