Gerber Bear Grylls Survivor Series Serrated Folding Knife
There're certain benefits that come with using old gear in the woods - the main one of which is that the user is afforded with the ability to really appreciate (in a best-case scenario) the intended design effort that had been put into the creation of a product in terms of its durability.
Every now and again, we come across these particular products that last for years - packs, tents, shoes, and, in this case, knives, that we get the absolute most out of and feel committed to always purchasing that brand from thereon out.
The Bear Grylls Survivor Series knife is one such item. I had been gifted the set about two years ago and used it, in rotation with other knives, rather frequently, most often to whittle tent spikes and cut a variety of cords and wires (and give me some peace of mind in wolvey areas of forest). Since then, I've gone through two other knives that I had purchased afterwards - a Les Stroud edition Camillus flint knife that somehow just fell apart on me.
