Survival Knife

Looks like Gerber & Bear Grylls have teamed up for a new knif- looks very interesting -

Reviving an old portion of this thread. Dicks is now stocking the Bear Grylls knife. Actually looks quite nice in person. If my Seal Pup didn't already fill that niche, i'd be picking it up, but like someone else already said, you can never have too many knives or guns.

There have been some less than good reviews on blade forums on the above knife. Especially on the handle breaking apart.

Hmmmmm, guess it may just be another gimmick product, and not actually stand up to what it's marketing ploy would suggest. My Sog will stand up to anything I could throw at it, guess i'll stick with that.

Did you see the knife in person?

I thought they were not out yet -

I have a leather handled ka-bar that seems indestructible... for the better part of 18 years :P

Lately though I've been taking a Cold Steel Busman Bowie when I go camping... for about 25 bucks it was well worth it, stays decently sharp and since it was so cheap I don't feel bad about throwing/digging/chopping/splitting/hammering with it... Also would make a decent spear if the need came up.

I took a fairly good sized aspen tree down - well, chopped it up - when a wind storm knocked it down in my back yard with one of cold steels cheep-o kukries... Worst part about that blade is that the grip is murder on your hands, did a fun paracord katana wrap on it and it's pretty nice now... It also came with a terribly off-center sharpening job but was able to fix that with a file while bored in a couple of hours.

I can never pick just one.

Knives I have known and loved...or hated.

What is the name of the style of the knives in that last picture? I remember my dad having some old knife just like those ones in the picture. It even had that little chunk out of the bottom of the blade just above the handle. What are those for?
