With over 70 years in the knife-making industry, Gerber’s industrial expertise and Bear’s outdoor experience are the perfect combination. This is the first Bear Gryll’s knife that I tried out, and it has a lot going for it. It comes with a military-grade, mildew-resistant nylon sheath that fits easily on a belt loop or in a backpack. You can carry horizontally or vertically, and it’s both lightweight and space-efficient thanks to the folding design. The dual-sided thumb stud allows you to quickly flick the knife open one-handed, whether you use a right or left-handed grip. The grip itself is comfortable and well-balanced. An ergonomic grip made of textured rubber fits well into your hand, as well as helping to cut down on any slippage. When I hold this knife, I can feel that it’s balanced right around the forefinger as it should be. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to go on a trek with a knife that has amazing features and a poor blade. Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about that because this knife has an excellent blade. With a blade made from carbon-rich stainless steel, it’ll do a good job of maintaining a sharp cutting edge. You’ll still want to bring a sharpening tool along just in case, though; better safe than sorry. The half-serrated, half-flat, 3.6-inch long knife blade leaves you with a lot of utility. At roughly 1.5 inches long, the serrated portion performs well when I need to do any pushing cuts with it. Cutting rope, paracord, preparing game that I’ve caught, this knife is well-suited to all the tasks I’ve put it through.

Verdict:

The Gerber Bear Grylls Folding Sheath Knife, Serrated Edge is packed with innovative features and at a more basic level, it’s just an excellent knife. Having such a tough, reliable locking mechanism is a big plus, and I’ve never had to fiddle with the thumb stud release the way I have with some other knives. Coming with a complimentary sheath designed specifically for this knife is also a big plus that saves time searching for a suitable sheath separately, not to mention that the sheath itself is high quality. While the knife is small and easy to carry with me thanks to the folding design, it also packs a lot of functionality with the combination serrated edge and flat edge. Being as small and versatile as it is, I like to bring this knife with me as a backup and second choice after a larger survival knife. That said, you can usually leave the other knives at home as this model is versatile and reliable enough to do everything you’re likely to need from it.
