Erro,

Welcome to the fire, newguy!

Along with knives Gerber also makes very high-dollar industrial cutting equipment like computer-controlled machines that cut out intricate shapes from assorted materials. They know what they are doing when they make a blade. You'll be fine with your knife and spending more, in my opinion, is not worth it.

The main thing you need to do now is master sharpening your knife.
