Gerber Ultimate Fixed Blade vs Bear Grylls Survival Knife - Sharp Saturday

I also like bear grylls knives,I have the Grey and orange folding knife, knife looks good 👍.

Yes. This knife has gotten so much grief because it has BG on it. That barrel full of broken knives at the Pathfinder School didn't help either. From what I understand the one made in the US is better, but who knows. I think it's a good knife as long as you know its limitations, like all knives. All knives break or fail if pushed beyond their limit. They look similar to another Gerber similar to the StrongArm. Great video, Brian.

The BG will probably become valuable since it's not made anymore along with its h8te. 😆😆😆

I have a few Gerber knives. Some US made, some are made in China.. like all of them and haven't had any issues with them.

I'm a survival dork. I bought the BG, and like it. Thank you for letting me know that there is a worthy successor!

I got one a couple of years ago and I like it 👊

You got me with your awesome tech. Lol Sub well deserved...

The blade of the BG is made out of 8Cr13MoV steel. The "pro" BG had 9Cr18MoV!😢

Regardless of what they said he did behind scenes on TV, (that’s show biz folks!) the man is former British SAS. They are all trained in survival skills. There is nothing fake about him and it was good he took time to demonstrate these skills for us. Knife is a solid tool and it works. Stop the hate people.

Happy Sharp Saturday Brian , thanks for sharing, YAH bless brother !

Can you please do a comparison between the Gerber ultimate, LMF and the 💪🏼 strong arm. Thank you. I pray that GOD continues to bless you and your family. Amen.

I like the color on the new one, but I honestly don't like serrations unless it is a dedicated rope knife that is all serrated.

It’s okay if you like that kind of stuff. They could have at least upgraded the steel, this knife isn’t for your average knife guy in my opinion, not even the knife guy on a budget. There’s so many better budget knives out there these days.

Nice video.

I'll never buy anything with BG on it

I hate serrated knives....🚫

Bear Grills drinks his pee and tells everyone to do it

Thank you for reviewing this. It’s great to see reviews on budget friendly equipment.

I'm sorry to me anything with BG name is way overrated. I've seen to many videos to where he was supposedly camping in the "BUSH" but ended up in a hotel that night but shows him coming out of a tent in the a.m. just not a believer my personal opinion only

I heard Chuck Norris has a bear rug in his living room. The bear isn't dead, it's afraid to move.

I own alot of knives. High end and low end. I own a few Gerbers. Two Bear Grylls folders. One one my glove box one in my told box. And i own a couple of Gator folders. I always liked the Gerbers i have. Great video as usual!

Have you done a review of the SOG Ace? That thing is an absolute beast, especially for the price.

I got the original BG knife when it first came out, still have it (the one they recalled cuz the pommel breaks off). Never got the Ultimate version, I wonder how it stacks up against the Strongarm?

The BG pro was 9cr18 steel, not sure about the non-pro

Ultimate is 7cr steel. Grylls is 420HD. Both steels are cheap crap.

Bear Gryles.. never heard of her!

Watched this about 2hrs ago. Added some product reviews ...I''ve listened to you for years...Good stuff!! Got this from Amazon at 40% of New version!! I'm very much obliged to you for your tenured info and applicable Bible verses. With much respect,Theo

I watched BG for what it was an entertaining TV show. I bought the original fixed blade knife. It was a decent, inexpensive knife.

I bought the Bear Grylls knife a few years ago and I have only one problem with it. - the sheath is reinforced with glass fiber and every time I withdrew the knife I lost the fine edge. Fortunately it has the diamond hone built in so I was able to put a sharp edge on it. I hope the new one doesn’t have glass fibers in the plastic sheath. I like having a diamond hone build into the sheath.

I prefer the orange Bear Grylls version over the green one for 2 simple reasons. 1 The BG is orange so if you drop it in the leaves it's easy to see. 2 the green version is serrated , in my opinion a serrated blade doesn't belong on a survival/woods knife. A serrated knife belongs in the kitchen.

Real ones remember the original Gerber Bear grylls knife that was grey and orange with a partially serrated edge. A bunch of reviewers and people griped saying that the partial serration was dumb and they came out with the ULTIMATE Bear grylls survival knife basically version 2, with the regular edge on it. Funny that they have apparently gone back to the original lol

Serration iss useless.

I have a BG knife that’s about 10 yrs old and it does what I need. Of course I have Moras and SAK’s to name a few. They all perform as expected. Great video and a special thanks for sharing scripture. I’m an old Boy Scout myself. Be Prepared.😊

On making curls or feather sticks, if your hand is above the blade they will curl one way, if your hand is above the blade they will curl the other way.......no matter which hand you use.

Looks like Gerber is phasing out the BG and replacing it with this 1. I still prefer the LMF2 but this would a good budget friendly option. Digging the vids as always Mr. B.!

Gerber made a Bear Gryles ultimate survival knife pro, which was a full tang version. Despite being associated with Bear Gryles, it was a very good well thought out knife that Gerber should resurrect.

If that is the original, it got a lot of hate. They released another version and it is pretty bullet proof. People treated it harshly and couldn't break it. I am glad you found something you like.

I think Bear Grylls is a good guy. Sure his old show was goofy, but his books are helpful. He really tries to help you have a Godly and positive mindset.

Being a shill for Gerber really drops your credibility. Quoting Bible verses doesn’t help the credibility either. Maybe do more honest reviews. You might make less money, but you’ll still have your integrity.

I was unsubscribed. I've been a subscriber for a long time. Just a heads up. Great review as always 👏 👍

Thanks very much for the review, Mr.Stevens! I was looking for a Full Tang and was thinking of Morakniv Garberg but now I know what to get. Also, on Bear Grylls, you are spot on. That guy got me into the great outdoors and I am forever grateful to him for that. A regular viewer of your channel and appreciate the work you do🙏 Greetings from India

I own several Gerber LMF II's. Made in Oregon. It has never failed me and the one in my truck has performed some amazing feats. The BG stuff is garbage.

I still have my orange one I got from a cabelas store in Texas in 2014 ish and it still is in original shape.

I lost my fire starter sliding down a rocks slide.

The orange is great cause when people see it they feel safe. Because it’s high visibility.
Looks more professional.

The main problem I had with Bear Grylls was that he used a military mission-centric viewpoint, where he would take some extra risks to complete the mission and there seemed to be some time pressure involved. I prefer the SurvivorMan approach, where you're just trying to get home and avoid any extra injuries. Much closer to civilian survival scenarios.

Subscribed as soon as you said you open with a Bible verse. Love the video regardless, but if I can look up new knives while getting scripture at the same time? Sold. God bless brother

Holy cow! I’ve been following you since the beginning. I think you had around 1k subs when I started following you. I just realized you’re about to break 300k. Great job. Love your channel

I still have the original Bear Grylls version in our camper as a just in case knife.

I carry one of the old Bear Grylls folding knives. There's the one that comes in the sheath and then I got the slightly smaller one which was called the scout before they came out with the small one with the black handle. I have been carrying the knife for 10 years or more and so many people say that the knives are junk because they don't like the name of the person on them but that's stupid because the knives are made by Gerber. Anyway I'm not quite sure of the steel because I don't buy anything at 7 CR except that I may have one or two knives that are made with that steel because I didn't know but I have been carrying this knife everyday and use it at least 10 times a week. I carry the Bear Grylls knife and now the Gerber shark belly can I use them every single day
