Bear Grylls Gerber Knife - View The Different Models

The latest Bear Grylls Gerber Knife is the Ultimate Knife, which was released back in November 2010. And in that few short months, it has gathered over 100 customer reviews at Amazon, giving it a 4-star rating. This shows that this knife is much sought after and has generated quite a following.

So, what is it that makes this knife stands out? For one, apart from the knife itself, the sheath also holds a fire starter and blade sharpener. There is a lanyard cord on the knife with a whistle at the end. These are the extras that come with the knife. The drop point full tang stainless steel blade is 4.75 inches and half-serrated. The handle is made of rubberised material for a firmer grip with two holes at the end of the handle so that you can tie it to a stick for other uses when out in the wild. This knife is lightweight, weighing only 11.2 ounces.

To be fair, this Bear Grylls Gerber Knife certainly had many bad reviews when it was just released. There were issues with the pommel and handle which has since been corrected with the more recent knives. That is one reason why you may find many conflicting opinions about this knife model.

Basically, it is a good knife but it is not really a top range model. You can use it for a lot of things when in the wild but you also cannot expect it to perform flawlessly if you are going to use for rough tasks like hammering.

If you don't require a fire starter or whistle with your Bear Grylls Gerber Knife, then you probably can get by with the Folding Sheath Knife. This one is not too small like the Scout Knife nor too large that it becomes a hassle to carry. This knife has a half-serrated, high carbon stainless steel blade that measures about 3.5 inches. Together with its rubberised handle, it measure 8.5 inches when opened.

You can open up this knife using one hand as it features a two-sided thumb stud. It easily locks into place when opened for added safety. Fits snugly into a nylon sheath, it weighs just over 5 ounces, which makes it effortless to carry in your pocket or hook onto your belt.

The last Bear Grylls Gerber Knife we are going to introduce here is not really a knife but a machete or parang. When you are going into the jungles, what you need is a parang to hack at branches and vines so that you can make your way through.

This parang is heavy with a 13.5 inch robust high carbon steel blade. It also has a rubberised grip handle and a lanyard cord at the end for you to wrap around your wrist for added grip security. A nylon sheath of military grade is included for the parang for safe storage.

Out of the box, it is a reliable machete but if you sharpen it a little more, it will be a great tool when you need to chop up some branches.
