The recall applies only to Cohort knives with product date codes ending in the letters "E" or "F," which appear on the blade beneath the thumb stud on the clip side. Model numbers can be found underneath the UPC barcode on the rear of blister packaging or on the bottom of box packaging. According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the knife and contact Gerber for a replacement.
