The new bear Grylls Gerber knife is due to be released on November 15th 2010 after being pushed back two weeks from the original November 1st 2010 date. The knife debuted at the Outdoor retailers convention where they gave away the firesteel that will be attached to the sheath of the Bear Grylls Gerber knife. It was arguably the best give away during the whole show.
Features of the Survivor Series Gerber knife
The blade of the 2010 Bear Grylls knife is a partially serrated heavy-duty cutting tool. It looks very similar to the blade that is used on the Gerber LMF or prodigy knife lines. At the bolster of the knife you will find two lanyard holes in addition to the one on the butt of the knife. The combination of these three holes makes this knife extremely easy to attach to a spear or tool.
The Handle
The Handle of the 2010 Bear Grylls knife features a but cap that has a hammer like surface and a lanyard rope with a survival whistle attached to it. The grip is a rubber material and is extremely comfortable to hold.
The Sheath
The sheath is its own little monster. This thing has several different options to be attached to the belt and as made of kydex and nylon. The sheath holds and comes with a firesteel that is attached to the front of it and a sharpener that is hidden under the kydex portion of the sheath. Another added feature is that the knife comes with a mini survival guidebook that also stores securely and neatly in the sheath.
All in all this knife looks like a pretty sweet deal. Priced at .99 a far cry from the price of the last Man vs. Wild designed knife that hit the market at a whopping 700 bucks.
Pre orders are now being taken. If you are reading this post November 2010 the knife should be available.
