Gerber Bear Grylls knife

Earlier this year I told you that Gerber and Bear Grylls were teaming up to make "the ultimate knife."

That knife is now available and Bear is promoting it. The thing does look very sweet. Check it out:



I haven't seen the knife in person yet but personally like a number of the features. I think the built in flint in the sheath is great. Saves you from having to bring your own. I also really like the two holes in the handle in the event you ever needed to lash it to a stick to make a spear.

Here's the specs on the knife:

• Open length: 10.0"
• Blade Length: 4.8"
• Weight: (with sheath): 14.7oz.
• Weight (no sheath): 11.2oz.

The knife will be available at Cabela's, Amazon.com, Dick's Sporting Goods and Academy Sports and Outdoors when the knife is released on November 15th. It will sell for about $60.

However the best pre-order deal I found while searching for the release date, was through a company called Rocky National and they are selling it for $50.

Bear Grylls knife

Saw this on the Gear Junkie. Can't wait for his review.

Bear Grylls, he of the broadcast television hit "Man vs. Wild," has designed a knife with Gerber. The first product in a line, Gerber’s Bear Grylls Survival Series Ultimate Knife, has a full-tang, partially-serrated, stainless-steel blade. The sheath stores Bear-inspired tools, including a sharpening stone, magnesium fire starter and a weatherproof survival guide. Available in October for $60.

The Ultimate Knife

Looking for that gift for the outdoors person who has everything?

Well, look no more. Because I guarantee that they do not have this.

Introducing the Wenger Swiss Army Knife Giant Multi-Tool. That's right ladies and gentlemen, for only $833.69 this beast of a knife (pictured right) can be yours.

Now the knife may weigh in at just about 2 pounds, but what would you expect from a knife that has 85 different features?

It's basically the Tim "the Toolman" Taylor of knifes.

My favorites of the features include:

• Removable tool for adjusting bike spokes, 10-mm hexagonal key for nuts
• Laser pointer with 300 ft range
• Mineral crystal magnifier with precision screwdriver
• Flashlight
• Golf club face cleaner
• Golf divot repair tool
• Keyring
• And of course a second keyring (why you need two is beyond me)
  

(Please note, the site where this knife is featured, outdoorgb, states that the knife is not meant for practical use but rather for knife collectors)

Still, it's pretty awesome.
