As am I. It's a shame that Gerber felt the need to tinker with a good design such as the Infinity.

I too like the current design, but since I haven't seen or tried the new version, I'll reserve judgement.
For sure they have what they feel are solid marketing justifications for changing, perhaps surveys, focus groups, prototype evaluations and the like. It's not only their right, but some might say duty to the shareholders to explore such options. Such is the stuff of innovation and product improvement of course.
OTOH, my take on it is 'it's too bad Gerber feels they have to abandon such a neat product'. Then again, if it's all that neat someone else will fill the niche.....capitolism, business decisions driven by profit, way cool. Brought us what we have...and what everyone else wants.
