Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife Review

With more and more concrete walls being put up with time almost every next where we look, the comfort of our own homes with their snug couches has left most of us uniquely unsuitable for survival in the inimical wild. And to survive in the wilderness without even the proper gear would be the last thing one needs. One of the most fundamentally indispensable pieces of gear needed would be a multi-functional survival knife.

Unlike ordinary kitchen knives, a survival knife would serve you with multiple practical purposes. In the wild, you’d need a suitable blade to help you hack your way through thick kindling. A machete could work but it is hardly multifunctional and frankly quite medieval. On the contrary, a survival knife could additionally prove useful for cooking, digging and should the need arise, even hunting!

As for the matter of choosing the perfect survival knife, I don’t think there is one as it’s a matter of relativity. The hilt on one might provide the perfect grip for you but the same might be too small to be a good fit for someone with larger hands. But generally speaking, I believe that going for under $50, the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife which is about 10’’ long and weighs roughly 11.2 ounces coupled with its plethora of multi-functional abilities will impress most outdoorsmen.

A Truly Multipurpose Knife For The Wild

The Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife comes in a nice fitting sheath with a Velcro hold. Whip out the knife itself and you get a strong stainless serrated edged blade with molded rubberized hilt which aptly provides a firm grip. Just below the blade, on the handle, there are two holes on either side of the blade thus enabling the knife to be latched to a stick to create a spear of sorts or to be mounted on a rifle to serve as a bayonet to defend oneself, an almost mandatory requirement in the wild.

The bottom of the hilt functions as a heavy-duty pommel which acts like a pounding hammerhead. Attached to the pommel is an emergency micro lanyard whistle to attract attention if and when needed. The sheath itself comprises two nifty contraptions – at the bottom is a simple water tight fired-steel pin about 2 inches in length and 0.5 centimeter in diameter which serves as an integrated fire-starter and can be used to light a fire by striking against the blade, and at the back is a convenient diamond sharpener to whet the serrated edged blade on the go.

Finally, the kit comes with a suggestive manual containing useful and handy tips and tricks from Bear Grylls himself to keep you in good stead out in the wilderness.

Lose The Baggage

As any explorer can draw from experience, carrying too much gear can be quite cumbersome. Hence, all-in-one packages are always recommended for your exotic adventures which wouldn’t need you to compromise on bare survival necessities while having to carry only minimal tools. On that account, the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife fits the bill rather well by being truly multi-functional.
