Ultimate knife should not be used in the same sentence as Gerber.

Sadly this is true, the only Gerber I have that is worth a flip is a multi tool that is about 10 years old or so. The blade still sucks, but the rest of the tool is fine.

LMAO..

Yeah there blades are super soft and those rubber coated handles they have are downright dangerous... When your hands are wet it like a dang bar of soap... You can get a seal pup for about the same price that will probably last forever...

Looks like a nice knife.

Looks like a POS knife.

If any of you are interested, take note in this consumer review from Amazon.

Well, as an avid Bear Grylls fan, I really truly was hoping for the best on this, and I originally rated this a 5 star product, but after some reviews of the pommel falling off, I decided to go in my backyard and hack at a branch. Just like them, I hacked into ONE branch, about 20 times and there goes the pommel, detached from the plastic. They are correct, the pommel is NOT attached to the blade tang. It's attached to the PLASTIC. It's really cheaply made. Very poor. I really wish this was made different and I think that even Bear would agree that if he used this product himself, he would be greatly disappointed. BOO!!!

UPDATE:!!::
I've contacted Gerber regarding my issue, and it looks like this is essentially a "beta" version, and there will be modifications done Jan/feb of 2011 to correct the issues at hand. Maybe the new one will also be made in Portland. Here is their correspondence.

Unless it comes with a free hotel stay voucher, I don't think it is the ultimate Bear Grylls survival knife.
