GERBER Bear Grylls Scout Knife, Serrated Edge, Drop Point [31-000754]

Gerber is a really good knife. I have had others and love them compared to the price is good and thought out design

I just got this knife today and I love it. Some people have said this is not a sharp knife and I disagree. I decided to Test out this new knife which I made dinner for the kiddos. I cut into an avocado and about sliced my opposite hand off. The point of this knife cut through the avocado skin without any noticeable resistance and I was not prepared for that. I also used it to open plastic packages and, again, it was so sharp I wasn't prepared to not feel any resistance while opening packages. I'm handy in the kitchen and it has never occured to me that a knife might be too sharp for the kitchen but I would say that about this knife. I was perfectly able to open this with one hand. I just use the knobs to push the blade out a little and flick my wrist and it's ready to use. I'm also able to unlock it with one hand and push the back of the blade against my belly to fold it back into place. The handle is not just plastic. The orange accents are durable plastic but the gray parts are a grippy rubber. The fact that this knife folds and has a clip makes it ideal for me. I camped earlier this week and had to make tent stakes out of twigs. I used my BG ultimate survivor knife ( the one with the fire starter and whistle...) and found it not very convenient as I constantly wished for a convenient spot on my person to stow the knife when I wasn't using it here and there. I love that knife and will always have it around but this knife will work better for me when I'm standing around working on a project ( like, while camping ) and there isn't a table nearby to constantly set things down and pick them up again. If you're expecting a knife that will help you win a war or build an entire spec home for you, then you'll need to buy something else designed for that sort of thing. But if you're looking for a great little utility knife to carry around that will be a great tool for little tasks around the house, job site, or camp site, then thus is a great choice.

I ordered this knife because I carry a folding knife on me all the time and was attracted to the fact that it doesn't look like a tactical dragon slaying knife. I primarily use it as a utility knife but also want something that can be used for self defense should it ever come down to it. This knife meets those needs. The clip on the knife if flush to the top of the grip so nothing sticks out of the pocket except the clip (Good concealability). The clip is also super tight so it will not accidentally snag and pop out of your pocket. The knife is very light weight so you will forget you are carrying it. The grip also feels good in the hand. The grip is all plastic so this shouldn't be a knife that you intend to give heavy rugged use to. Overall, for the price it is a great knife. On the down side, the knife is not as easy to open one handed. I have lubed it and also spent some time opening and closing it to try and give it some break in. It is still very tight. I'm a big guy with big hands and I have to put some effort into opening it with one hand.

Great knife! Light weight & very sharp! Smooth open, feels great in the hand. The pocket clip is deep enough so knife does not stick out of pocket - very concealed - you only see the orange top of knife. I didn't expect much at this price and thought it may be a little gimmicky due to Bear Grylls. But was pleasantly surprised as to the quality. The blade was very sharp right out of the package. The best thing (besides the sharp blade) is it weighs almost nothing. Great Every Day Carry (EDC) knife. Perfect size for EDC - small enough not to get in the way in your pocket yet large enough for most tasks. This is a great knife for me (older adult).... but would also be a great knife for a Boy Scout or other youth that likes to camp and be outdoors. I thought the orange may be a little hokey, but I actually like it. Will make it easier to find if camping. I would highly recommend this knife. The price is excellent for the quality you get. You won't be disappointed. I also got the Bear Grylls smaller pocket knife (from another site for $8) and was also pleasantly surprised with that one as well... very sharp, very light weight, fits in the small pocket of my jeans (no clip). Will put in my tackle box when going fishing. EDIT 3/23/13: After a few months of owning this knife, I still really like it. But I find that I do not reach for it for my EDC. I think it is the Orange color. Which is a good color if camping and you misplace it - easy to spot... but something about that orange knife top peaking out of my jean pocket line keeps me from grabbing this knife for EDC... but I do use it around the house.

This is a overall good knife. The blade and serrations came very sharp and uniform. The grip is comfortable but does not have the best ergonomics. This is a relatively light knife, but this makes it easy to notice that the weight balance is a bit off. This would make a good EDC pocket knife if you are not worried about overall aesthetics. I prefer a more decorative knife as my EDC but this does make a good knife for working outside and not worried about losing it. The main reason I gave this 3 stars is due to the pocket clip design. Not sure if it was just the knife I recieved, but it had a rather large lip bind on the clip. This made it easy to attach it to my pocket, but made it very easy to snag on other objects. When it would get snagged the clip would get bent and would have to be bent back into shape. After this happening multiple time I decided to remove the clip and just put the knife in my pocket.

Je l ai ouvert, la lame s'est barrée d' un côté, le manche de l 'autre! Quelle honte! Coureau de survie, mon c...@ J ai le premier modèle de ce couteau, solide et efficace . Celui-ci, dès la première prise en main , plastique rigide de mauvaise qualité, je me doutais que ça allais m... rder. Je vais demander remboursement, trop dangereux ce truc.

Ich habe mich spontan nach einem kleinerem Faltmesser umgeschaut und bin nach einigem suchen auf dieses Produkt gestoßen. Gebraucht hatte ich es für ein Pfadfindercamp. Nach einer Woche intensiver Benutzung und einem Monat gelegentlichem Benutzen kann ich nun eine Meinung dazu abgeben. Benutzt habe ich das Messer zum: -Seile durchschneiden: hierzu ist die geriffelte Schneidefläche ideal! Sie bleibt sehr lange sehr scharf und schneidet das Seil super! - Zunder herstellen: Auch hier kann ich sagen das ich hauptsächlich die geriffelte Fläche genutzt habe.. Jedoch kam es auch schon als Brotmesser, Grillmesser und eben sonst alles zum Einsatz. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut. Es hat im ausgeklapptem Zustand wirklich NULL spiel! es sitzt bombenfest! auch noch nach intensiver Benutzung (u.A. hebeln). Sowas hatte ich für den Preis nicht erwartet! Heute habe ich es wirklich fast überall dabei. Vor allem wegen dem Gürtelclip ist es leicht anzubringen. Man sollte in Deutschland jedoch beachten dass dieses Messer verboten ist, da es mit einer Hand aufzumachen ist. Die Stifte können sicherlich irgendwie entfernt werden, hab ich jedoch nicht gemacht. Fazit: TOP Messer zu einem fairen Preis. In dieser Preisklasse bekommt man sicher nichts besseres Geboten. Es ist total gut Verarbeitet. Die Stahlklinge ist aus gutem Material, jedoch wird sie in keinem besonders scharfen Zustand geliefert. Das Messer sitzt sehr gut in der Hand. Es hat eine Rutschfeste Oberfläche und gute Kerben für guten Halt. Es hat einen sehr sicheren Schließmechanismus. Die Klinge sitzt im offenem Zustand richtig sicher. Ich würde es mir jeder Zeit wieder kaufen.

J'ai reçu ce couteau aujourd'hui et il est de très bonne facture. Contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire sur certains commentaires, je n'ai pas reçu une contrefaçon. Il n'y a pas le moindre jeu. Le tranchant est bon mais mérite un petit coup d'affutage pour être parfait. La prise en main est impeccable. Aucun défaut notable. Très bon rapport qualité prix.

erst war ich ja von den eher dürftigen rezensionen der ganzen Bear Grylls Gerber reihe etwas vorsichtig....nun hab ich mich aber hinreissen lassen und das ultimate survival und das scout bestellt...ich muss hierzu sagen, dass der Griff zwar billig wirkt, aber keineswegs ist. Er ist stabil, liegt griffig und sicher in der hand und macht einen allgemein robusten und doch wertigeren Eindruck als beim ersten hingucken...es Klappt sehr gut und locker auf. Das Messer ist auch sehr scharf (für diese Preisklasse) es ist eben ein Werkzeug für kleines Geld was ich schon liebgewonnen habe...für bisschen über 20 eus klare kaufempfehlung....wenn man ein Fan der Serie ist noch mehr ;)

utilisé en randonnée classique, suffi largement. les dents du couteau permettent de couper une corde d'escalade sans trop forcer. La prise en main et très bonne et si comme moi vous n'aimez pas le clip ceinture, il se dévisse. L'ouverture à une main n'est pas aisée mais la sécurité de la fermeture de la lame est vraiment super résistante.
