Read More »Ed. note: After writing this Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife review, Gerber discontinued the line. Now the company sells essentially the same knife as the Gerber Ultimate Knife. The updated version improves the styling while keeping all of the best features. You can get more information on it through my affiliate link here. While he’s no Chuck Norris, outdoor survival expert Bear Grylls has still amassed his share of tough-guy jokes. In this Bear Grylls Knife review, I wanted to know if this was just another joke or a serious blade. This survival knife was developed by Gerber with input from Grylls and has distinctive orange, gray and black styling. For those not familiar, Grylls is considered a wilderness survival expert with experience in mountain climbing, parachuting and even time in the British SAS (21 Special Air Service Regiment). Most people know Grylls for the wilderness survival TV shows he has starred in.

Read More »One of the things you might need to do in a survival situation is to chop down small trees or remove limbs from a tree. For example, you might need to construct a shelter or build a litter. While no knife is going to be as useful as an axe when taking down a tree, a large enough knife can certainly chop through a thick branch or small tree trunk. The Bear Grylls knife did quite well at cutting through several branches with about a 2″ diameter. Sure, a hatchet would have done the job a little quicker, but this is a survival situation where you may not have the ideal tool with you. The fire starting rod works as you might expect. Briskly scrape the notch on the knife’s spine (not the fine edge!) down the rod and sparks fly. The idea is to have a pile of dry tinder that you ignite with the sparks. If you have never started a fire in this manner, I strongly suggest learning this skill in the backyard before you need it in the woods. Some people reported that early examples of the Grylls knife had weak butt caps that would break away from the handle. I did not find this to be a problem with my knife. I pounded this knife on rocks and had no signs that the end cap was weakening at all. I would assume that any of the early problems have been worked out. The whistle is small, and for its size, it does an adequate job of being loud. It does not even approach the sound you can make with a Fox 40 whistle, however. But for something that is automatically with you any time you have the knife, it is quite functional. While walking through the woods, the knife never came close to falling from the sheath. The friction lock tightly holds the knife in place and a supplementary velcro strap keeps the handle close to the body. The included survival guide is a very basic look at wilderness survival. While the included information is good, it left out one obvious thing: how the Gerber knife fits into the equation. For example, the section on fire starting offered no information on how to use the included fire starter. No mention was made of using the knife as a chopping tool or as a spear. This seems to be a glaring fault.

Read More »One of the changes made was the kind of steel used for the blade. The original Bear Grylls knife uses 7Cr17MoV, while the Pro model uses 9Cr19MoV. Both steel types are versions of stainless steel made in China. It is said that 7Cr17MoV steel is similar to 440A, while the 9Cr19MoV steel is closer to 440C. 9Cr19MoV is generally considered to be a higher-end steel than the 7Cr17MoV.
