Pretty handy looking outfit if a guy was looking for a new knife. I have WAYYY more than I need, so I'll pass, but Gerber makes a good knife, regardless of who's name is on it.

Years ago Gerber was a sign of Quality.

That was until Gerber got Greedy and moved its manufacturing facility to CHINA and the quality went down the drain, probably made by some underage kid making $1.50 per day.

I recently bought a pair of Gerber Rachet cutters for cutting small branches and small diameter brush while bowhunting, the first time I used them the handles broke in two pieces, the handles were made out of some kind of cheap plastic, on closer inspection the package said in very very small print made in CHINA! and CHINA was also stamped on the cutter blade. It was My mistake I should have read the package first but thought Gerber products were still made here in the USA.

I then to my local Dicks sporting goods and looked at a large rack of Gerber products, guess what they were all made in China!

There are many Quality outdoor product made right here in the Good Old USA by quality craftsman, as far as I know Buck knives are still made in the USA and the quality will blow away anything Gerber now makes in China, why not look at the package of everthing you buy, shop wisely and maybe we will someday bring back all the manufacturing jobs and businesses we have lost since Bill Clinton signed the Free Trade aggrement and sold us all out.

Besides products made in the USA I do think that there are still many quality products on the market, some made in Germany and Japan BUT none are made in China.

As far as GB goes its just another contrived reality show, Example sleeping in a Motel after shooting hours etc. half the stuff he does would probably severely injure or kill anyone else who was not a Navy Seal or Special Forces. Plus once a product has an endorsement or name attached to it the price goes up at least 25%.

so its preety much a survil sheath just buy the sheth off ebay and use you own knife

All my gerber knives have held up very well and I use them almost on a daily basis so I imagine that this knife will be quality as well.

Edward Michael "Bear" Grylls is the real thing as an adventurer, but he is the first to admit that he is not the toughest, Chuck Norris, invincible type, saying that other British outdoorsmen are his masters. OYOH, he's climbed Mount Everest at 23 and crossed the Atlantic in an inflatable. He acknowledges that his TV shows are filmed by an accompanying cameraman and that he makes mistakes. However, there is much to learn from his expertise, which comes from renowned British and Indian Army sources. He is also Chief Scout (leader) of the Scout Association of Britain (formerly Boy Scouts) so he does good works. Check him on Wikipedia. I think he's okay.

looks like a piece of sh!$ to me, just saying. If i spend money like that, the knife will at least look good, and it won't have some other guys name tatooed all over the damn thing. Buy a ka-bar and get it over with, don't waste you hard earned cash.

Gerber makes good stuff. If i didn't already have everything I need in the way of knife, firestarter, etc. I might go order one. the grylls endorsement does nothing for me, and his name/initials all over it is kinda a down point, but Gerber is quality.

No thanks.
Just a cheap piece of s__t from "As Seen On TV'!
Notice that in none of the pictures or spec. sheets is the country where it is made listed.

Take the guys name and the serrated edge off and then you will have a knife.Gerber has a hatchette and knife combo available and it will fit in a pack or on your belt!

There is confusion about the Gerber Grylls Ultimate Survival Knife. First of all,, It is not widely available yet. I am a small knife dealer (big knives too) and as yet it is not in stock with any of my distributors. I have been contacted by some who say they have one already and I can not say that is not true. Some have been released but I think more likely people are getting another Gerber Grylls knife, stock number G0754, G0760, or G0752. These three have been available for sometime now. They are not really bad knives but they are not the Grylls Ultimate 0751 which is about twice the price and about twice the knife too.
Before anyone jumps up and starts saying I am shilling for Gerber let me say again,,, I do sell knives, but I do not have the Grylls Ultimate on hand. I will have it yes. I am not a knife expert but I do handle and use a whole lot of knives. So what I say can be taken with a grain of salt or a whole bucket if you want. But if I have a choice, and I do, I would pick the Gerber LMF II in any handle color over any of the Grylls knives. The Grylls Ultimate can be had for $60-$70 bucks. I am sure if you are caught in the wilderness with the Grylls knife it would perform. I am thinking more about if you are going into wilderness on purpose you are going to want to have something more reliable, tougher, and tested like the Light Military Fighter. Also remember I am just comparing the Grylls to the LMF II. There are many other options. Some are even better knives than the Gerber LMF II. Some are not as much knife as the Grylls Ultimate. Prices range all over also. I always tell my customers to buy as much quality as they can afford. Getting the best can be expensive but when you buy the best you are much more likely to only cry once.
