One of the best fixed blades out there. Tough as nails while taking a sharp edge. Does the perfect job. The handle is just right. The grip is just enough with texture as not to be too slippery when wet. The metal point butt is great for breaking windows in emergency situations. Also good for breaking up bones, wood, debris, etc.I like the idea of having the knife being able to wear the blade horizontal on a belt but I feel the knife is a bit big for that. I wear of my rig. Feels more natural as I can get to it faster.Overall, great knife. This is my second. Had the black one first but love this one, matches my other gear.Highly recommend.BTW, I also carry a Cold Steel but love this better and would rather support Gerber.

This is an excellent knife. The steel is exceptionally strong and the size is just right. The grip is impressive, especially in wet or freezing conditions. Full tang is a must. Price is unmatched. Warranty is unmatched. Cutting edge is good, but lacks a certain swiftness youād find on a fjallkniven or a ka-bar. Overall though itās the best bang for the buck and a worthy addition to any load out. Only note, I got and prefer the non serrated edge blade, which makes sharpening easier and I personally donāt see the need for a serrated edge - I have other tools to cut through a seat belt. The standout feature is the hand guard. The generous hand guard makes this a true āsurvivalā knife, meaning it is robust enough for camping and backwoods needs plus it has a matte black ...Ā MoreThis is an excellent knife.

Finally the sheath is amazing, especially at this price point. Carry options are extremely versatile and the sheath carries upside down without any risk of losing this tool but still releases without hesitation when you need it. It fits great in fjallraven pants knife pocket once you figure out the correct configuration if you wear those (which are also excellent). The sheath is better than much higher end options. Iāve had friends compliment this tool, and they own much more expensive higher end options. Gerber finally got something right!

Well, I was really interested in a SOG full tang, plain blade, however after looking at numerous youtube videos, strongarm seemed to be be a much more value for money choice. It felt really good in the hand & looking at the multiple ways you can carry it, it seemed to be a worthy choice. The blade being 420HC is quite strong & easy to manage though sharpness could have been more. It's full tang & has a nice & strong grip and a very good thing is that you can use both the ends of the knifeš.Buying & delivery experience was icing on the cake.

Don't let the cheap steel fool you. This knife has been tested by the most abusive testers on youtube. There are knives thicker/heavier and far more expensive that can't take the abuse this can.My advice. Have one of these handy for emergencies. You can depend on it to be up to the task.The sheath seems complicated, but it's not. It's a very cool design that should be more common.
Honestly, there is some question about authenticity versus Chinese knockoff. Check out YouTube on that, the packaging suggests it might be a knockoff but the quality is certainly top-notch. Finely finished and very well constructed. Apart from some of the concerns raised by one or two YouTubers, I have no suspicion that it's not an authentic Gerber knife. But as I said, the quality is clearly top-notch so does it really matter?
First off. Out of the box the blade is not as sharp as one might expect. It is a little bit annoying I will have to do some work on the blade. I tested this blade vs a CRKT knife and the CRKT M21SFG cut paper better. The CRKT has been in use for a little over a year for light bush crafting. It still cut better than this blade did right out of the box.I got this for general bush crafting and I don't think it will hold up to batoning wood (which I do a lot of) well.Since I have a collection of knives and I just wanted to try this knife it will go back to the store.If you are wondering if you should buy this knife I would say hold off. Pay about $20-30 more for something sharp out of the box that you won't have to sharpen after every trip.I included a picture ...Ā MoreFirst off.

Pay about $20-30 more for something sharp out of the box that you won't have to sharpen after every trip.I included a picture of the difference between the CRKT folder and the Gerber. Look at the difference in the grind. The folder has had some heavy outdoor use and has yet to need sharpening.
This is a durable steel blade, tang, and grip. Some parts of the grip may cause discomfort to parts of the hand with prolonged use at one time. You can soften those points up as you see fit. Nice sheath. Good striking with the tang on a ferro rod. Blade can be sharpened easily. Out of all the the knives they offer this one seems to be the best bang for the buck. It's a cutting, carving, whittling type blade, not for stabbing or thrusting. I have it as an addition to my LT Wright Scandi blade, because it's always good to have two dependable knives in case you lose or damage one while in the bush.
Well first off I love the knife works amazing for what I use it for. The full tang the thick spine and that handle are the highlights for me. No matter if it gets wet that handle will never leave your hands and the blade has great edge retention. The bad? The sheath could use some work, I honestly don't like the nylon but thats just me. Last but not least the ugly the reason I say 4 out of 5 is the condition which I got the knife... less than impressed. Its supposed to be a fine edge but there is about 2 inches of the edge that looks like a beaver chewed the bevel on the knife. Its super sharp still but the grinding looks rough and is. It looked like they were going to add serrations then stopped and passed it off as a plain edge knife.
Firat thing I did was struggle a little with the sheath. It has several configurations like cross carry, molle carry, hip carry and a few parts and snaps. I you tubed it to make sure I had it right. Once I got that down it was clear to see the sheath is awesome! Yes it is plastic but it is tough. Now the blade..... Love it! Full tang, thick, strong. This blade is capable of anything. Perfect for outdoors, bushcraft, self defense. All around tank of a blade. Love the coyote color too.
need 2 hands to take it out of case if you have it in a boat box for emergency use. I am not a knife expert but I've been sharpening knives with all kinds of steel for 60 years on all kinds of stones by hand. This one I would say does not sharpen easily on a diamond long bench stone. But if you take the time, it can be made sharp enough to use. not as sharp as I'd like , but for a purpose where it could get abused in a canoe, it does the job. Really like the non slippery handle. Wish it would come out of the case with one hand when not on a belt. I'll work on that as I generally like the knife.
