The ergonomic over-molded rubber handles ensures a soft, comfortable, but secure grip in all conditions. 420HC Stainless Steel blade is beefy, and coated with ceramic for improved corrosion resistance and reduced visual signature. The Prodigy is much smaller (9.75" overall length), but it certainly packs as much punch as its predecessor. I think this might find a place attached to my plate carrier as soon as I cover up the digital pattern they put on here.Design cues for the new Prodigy were inspired by the award-winning LMF II, another knife engineered by Gerber's Jeff Freeman. Even throws pretty nice when I was bored at my store. Overall it’s a nice knife with a good feel. I’m gonna take this thing home and try to split wood with it and a hammer, it looks thick enough so we’ll find out. A thicker blade means you won’t be shaving comfortably with this blade unless you spend a decent amount of time changing the angle on the edge, but for cutting rope, fighting a wolf, or gutting an animal it will do just fine. Decent hilt so you don’t end up sliding past where your hand should be and losing a finger. The blade has a nice thickness and length for what I would look for in a fighting or tactical setting. Also, the leg strap is nice if you want it down and out of the way. A nice bonus on the bottom of the knife is a lanyard hole made out of what I can assume is the same material of the blade and is to a point making a good glass break/forehead smasher if need be. A nice texture and easy to hold even if wet or submerged. The handle has a comfortable feel and even fits well in my meat paws. webbing on the back of it, so that is a nice feature. Also, the sheath itself is modular with M.O.L.L.E. Keeps it locked in quite nice and I have no doubts it will stay put right where I need it to be. I also like the construction and retention of the sheath. It had a nice weight to it and felt well constructed. Upon pulling the knife from the sheath I like the design of the handle and the look of the blade. I’ll have to rectify that later with some spray paint or a sharpie or something. My first thought when it was given to me was that the sheath looked stupid as hell in an ACU pattern. So getting to mess around with this knife was a new experience. Not out of malice or dislike of the company or brand, just never did.
