      I have this knife and I've got to say it's very good. Like you I've only needed to sharpen it once. It keeps the edge. I lost the firesteel though. What's not to like about Bear Grylls? He's awesome.

    I've had my knife for about two years and it's holding up quite well. Granted, I'm not out to purposely destroy it and I take care of it. I personally like Gerber products and have been using them since the early 90's. Great video as usual Lilly, have a nice day!

    The best review on this product I nave seen . Totally unbiased and extremely fair.. Lilly tested everything that needed to be tested. Obviosely in her close up shots of the knife she keeps a good edge on her blade, and she has a lovely communication style, Well done Lilly.

    One of the reasons there was so much hate online for this knife was because the original one had many flaws. They fixed it later but the steel was still subpar and that reputation followed it to this knife since many people are incapable of understanding that this is a different knife. The Ultimate Pro is actually quite good and would be better if they stopped with all that orange. Coodos to you, Lilly, for giving this knife a shot!

    • @rasmusbaltser7761
      @rasmusbaltser7761 4 года назад +2

      Agreed - except for the colour thing. Why would you need a knife to be black or camo unless you’re trying to hide it? Which means you see it as a weapon instead of a tool.
      The orange colour makes it easier to find in the wilderness if lost and it shows that you’re not trying to hide it for whatever reason

    Not a survivalist you say? This is some of what he’s accomplished. Yeah jealousy is the root of most of his detractors. He doesn’t ask anybody like him anyway, but he’s accomplished more as a survivalist/ adventurer than anybody mentioned in this thread.
    From 1994-1997, he served in the British Army with 21 SAS.[24]
    On 16 May 1998, Grylls climbed to the summit of Mount Everest in Nepal, 18 months after breaking three vertebrae in a parachuting accident
    1997, Grylls became the youngest Briton to climb Ama Dablam, a peak once described by Sir Edmund Hillary as "unclimbable".[30]
    unassisted crossing of the north Atlantic Ocean, in an open rigid inflatable boat. Grylls and his team traveled in an eleven-metre-long boat and encountered force 8 gale winds with waves breaking over the boat while passing through icebergs in their journey from Halifax, Nova Scotia to John o' Groats, Scotland.[31]
    Grylls created a world record for the highest open-air formal dinner party, which they did under a hot-air balloon at 7,600 metres (25,000 ft), dressed in full mess dress and oxygen masks.[32] To train for the event, he made over 200 parachute jumps.
    In August 2010, Grylls led a team of five to take an ice-breaking rigid-inflatable boat (RIB) through 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of the ice-strewn Northwest Passage.

      Bear grylls tor apart a car to make a shelter (a car is a shelter ).he sucked elephant shit and piss from a snake skin for water got sick and puked 10x as much water as he got .
      Most if not all if the TV phony survival shows and youtube fail to teach about survival poaching ( hunting) .hunting deer at night is the best way to get one an option that shouldn't be over looked !
      But if you want some real survival info .find a book called how to stay alive in the woods by bradford angeirs ( not sure of the spelling ) . All the stuff in the sas and most other so called survival books and shows are taken from his book . It should have been called living in the woods . There's is 10x more stuff in that book than any of the book the youtubers and TV jokes put out .real world stuff .not commie show approved crap .
      Bear grylls showed mostly that you can't survive not how to ! (Politically correct bull shit )

    • @tcl379
      @tcl379 6 лет назад +9

      Dale Carpenter : if it makes you feel better to bash BG go ahead. My first post listed a few stone cold accomplishments of his that very few people can put on a resume. His TV shows are entertainment and that’s all they are, I applaud him for making a good living and taking care of his family. So if you appreciate the way someone else approaches survival skills and generally living their life-- great!

      If your talking about he sucks elephant shit comment ? I wasn't knocking him ( then ) he did suck elephant shit on his show ( and got puking sick).but his show blows any.but all the stupid survival shows suck not just his .
      Those shows are commieized ( palitically correct bull shit )to the point of being useless stupid entertainment ( but there not entertaining)
      But one of bg shows he take a car apart to make a shelter ( a car already is a shelter !). Now they may have told him to do that ? But he's always telling people to drink piss ( if you drank piss before your dehydrated maybe it would help ) if you drink piss when your really dehydrated its moztly salt .if you want to throw up anytime drink really salty water .but if throw up when you are dehydrated it it could be the end !but then again maybe the producer told him to do it .
      Most of the shows show doing risky things that you wouldn't do because of the risk ( even a minor injury could be fatal when you can't go to a doctor ) so you don't take risks risks and i havent seen any of the shows show anyone deciding not to do a risky thing because you are in that situation .
      Non of the sgows even on youtube show the best survival tactic .which is night survival poaching deer .if youre not going to show that even like the first thing to do after shelter and fire then is shit .youtube shows individual skills but not night survival poaching ( because hunting at all is not pc i guess?).

A friend of mine had one before me and just the grip alone sold me on it over others I was thinking about buying at the time. I have this knife on my SHTF armor vest....GREAT REVIEW!

    I have had the original (3rd generation) with 7cr17 steel and it has worked just fine. I've used it a lot the past four years and it simply works. 1st gen. knives had a problem with the pommel coming loose, but Gerber quickly fixed the problem. I like mine.

  • @jdblack9703
    @jdblack9703 Год назад +1

    Lilly,
    I have a Gerber Dime. I keep it sharp and I take care of it otherwise. I carry it almost every day, on the other days I carry a USAF issued Camillus pocket utility knife. In addition I carry a pair of pliers. My favorite pair are about 60 year old Japanese drop forged slip-joint pliers. There is no brand name on the pliers. If I’m going hunting or fishing I carry a Case brand hunting knife that is about 60 years old.
    I have found that the brand is not that important. What is important is how it looks, feels in one’s hand, how easy it is to maintain, and it’s utility.
    When I go to the woods I carry a cruiser axe and a bow saw, and an entrenching tool. My entrenching tool is some Northern European army surplus. A cruiser axe is a single bit axe that is in size between a hatchet and a splitting axe. My entrenching tool has a shovel on one side and a pick on the other. I have learned that the females in my family want a latrine and fresh water for cooking and sanitation and hygiene so finally, I carry a bucket.
    I could go on all day about this but I’ll stop here.
    I enjoy you site.

  • @survivalofthefittest409
    @survivalofthefittest409 7 лет назад +3

    Alot of people love to hate on this knife cause of its designer and older brother (first version), and so I dont think it gets a fair shake. I'm happy to see someone be honest about it and talk about it fairly. I bought one a couple years ago now, and it has performed just fine. No fails. No breakage. Edge and steel held up fine. Plus, it has so really useful features on the sheath and knife itself, the hammer pommel comes to mind which I really like. I wont replace my ESEE's or other knives, but I wont be getting rid of it either. Gave it to my wife as a beginner knife for her and she really likes it and uses it well. Good size for her, comfortable handle and weight. Steel is great for a beginner as well since its not a super steel it wont be too hard to sharpen for them or someone who just has a hard time sharpening knives in general, but is also a decent toughness and holds a decent edge. I really dont have anything bad to say about it. Good review Lilly.

    Lilly, can you do a comprehensive comparison video of all of the knives you've used and rank them? Please compare them in a complete way. This knife comes with the integrated sharpener, survival manual, and fire steel in a nice compact design(IMO from looking at it online). All of that right on my belt is appealing to me. I'd like to see how they all line up including price in terms of value, and how they compare against one another from your perspective.

  • @benfranklin2450

    Once you dull the edge of such a sturdy knife , how do you get it sharp again ? Will a simple Arkansas stone do the job ? Typically A small stone is all a person might take with them into the wilds . I notice there are very few videos about field sharpening of knives .

    • @MrDravous
      @MrDravous 7 лет назад +3

      you can't use Arkansas stones on a stainless knife. the chromium carbides in the stainless are actually harder abrasive than the quarts in an Arkansas. you can use the diamond stone that comes with it though. it's glued right to the back of the thing.

    Good video. I've only had one Bear Grylls sponsored product and it was the survival fire starter which I really don't like. I have owned other Gerber made products, 2 multi tools which I love (I bought the first one back in 05' and still use it on the farm toady), a spring assist folding knife, and their E-Tool which is rather nice. As far as the knife styling, I'm not a fan, I prefer my Buffalo Skinner bushcraft knife from PKS. Thanks for another informative video Lilly and thank you for your time and effort. Stay safe.

  • @FixLife119
    @FixLife119 6 лет назад +1

    Hey Lily, I have the same knife and it also had a tight sheath and fire steel. I use my thumb to put pressure down on the sheath as I'm pulling up, it seems to work well. As for the fire steel I slide the knife between the sheath and the head of the steel, then I grip the rubber with the opposite hand and use my thumb to slide it up and out. Kind of ridiculous to have to do that but I guess it's better than being too loose and loosing it. Overall I have been fairly happy with the knife.

I am also going to Alaska this summer & if possible I will be taking it to Alaska. I don't feel comfortable this knife is made in China, but after watching this video & other videos about this knife, I had to put my reservations aside & I wanted to try this knife for myself, I also know I can return it with a full money-back guarantee, if I am not satisfied, so I'm comfortable about that.

    I bought one when they first released. It appears the knife you have has a full tang that runs the entire length of the blade to include the pommel, and also the width of the grip. However, the one I purchased had a tang that tapered down below the guard to something thin, and less substantial. I had thrown it into a fire to melt the grips off in hopes to put my own grips on or paracord...i was not thrilled to see the thin tang, and pommel fall out as the plastic around it melted off... not recommend, but it seems you have a improved version of the original.

    I love alot of Gerber products and Bear Grylls he an entertainer and he's fun to watch his survival scenarios are just that they're just scenarios of what could or might happen but in a more dramatic and fantastic way it is after all an action show. I have no doubt that was his skills he could actually survive in a real survival situation for an extended period of time.

    Hi Lilly,
    I love your channel and your reviews.
    I am thinking of buying a 'survival'/multipurpose knife. I am an amateur in terms of survival, and will probably only every spend - at the most - three or four days, or a week in the bush here in Canada.
    I just watched your review of the Mora Gerberg, and I know that you found the Gerberg and the Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro Survival knife too short, and that you 'categorized' the Gerberg as a "bushcraft" knife, rather than as a survival knife.
    Given the mostly overwhelmingly positive reviews everywhere of the Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro, including your review, I am wondering if you would recommend it as a survival knife, or, if you have another recommendation, what that would be.
    Love Dax, and love your guitar playing, although I think that we need to hear you playing some steel string guitar.
    Many thanks for all of your videos.

    Enjoy watching your videos a lot.
    I must say I was pretty impressed with your torture test.. it was pretty fair and reflective of the changes they've made since the earlier version I bought years ago (with the half-serrated blade) and I'm not sure would've survived the test.
    Why do you think they replaced the stone on the sheath with the sharpener? My guess is that this system is being marketed to beginning survivalist and many people can't get the stone sharpening right without much practice.

    Well just as an advice or information about stainless alloys and that is the fact that almost ALL stainless steel will rust eventually, especially in salt or acidic environment.
    Hey, even your pots for cooking will start to get a milk-like tint inside them after awhile, especially if you use a dishwasher, why? because the dishwasher tablet is acidic, and maybe you use salt when cooking let's say pasta so that's probably way your knife rusted when visited the Mediterranean.
    So if we sum it up unless they make knives in 316LSi (or higher stronger alloys) they will rust, period.
    Titanium won't rust or corrode anytime soon, it is said to "rust" about 1mm per 10000 years in seawater, but it will chip when abused, doesn't like oxygen when heated and so on.

    Erst mal SUPER Video gute Qualität.... Die beiden Tests haben mir echt weiter geholfen. Ich stehe nämlich noch am Anfang und habe noch an ein gutes Messer für Betoning gesucht, dieses Messer ist mir schon aufgefallen und es ist ja auch nicht so teuer. Ich war schon früher gerne draußen unterwegs, ab und zu mal was geschnitzt und so bin ich jetzt in der Buschcraft Szene gelandet. Ich bin froh deinen Kanal entdeckt zu haben.

    I own many Gerber - Bear Grylls branded - products; three of which are these knives - maybe the larger blade later generation editions. I have had no problems with any of the Gerber products.

    @jamesellsworth9673 7 лет назад

    A well-designed, well-made tool is the thing: good designers need only to be that. Adventurers of any generation are only that; yet, public figures are both revered and hated. Let the products do the 'talking.' Your review of the knife was honest and fits very well with other reviews by 'hard core' users. This straight edged blade appeals more to me than the earlier blade with serrations right where bush crafters get the best leverage for cutting furz sticks (some say 'fuzz' sticks.) I don't cut a lot of cord in the outdoors. Gerber touts the 'rust-free' nature of the improved steel in your version of the long-lived knife...but they didn't match it against exposure to salt water on your week-long adventure...and even in your application, the oxidation didn't penetrate beyond the surface of the blade. Thanks Lilly for a useful and fair review of a fairly affordable knife.

    I have several Bear Grylls items including this knife, I bought them because they were affordable. They all perform as advertised. I have always liked Gerber knives, I own quite a few. I get teased quite a bit about the mighty Bear Knife regardless it has never let me down, it does what I expect it to do and after a good bit of abuse it will still slice a tomato.

    @samstewart4444 7 лет назад

    Interesting, I tried Cold Steel and Mora knives (because of the price) and found the tips (of the Cold Steel brand) bend fairly easily, like when whittling a hole for a bow drill set and Mora knives are not full tang (although this may not matter since I never baton with a knife, I use a hatchet instead). Your testing far exceeds anything a knife should be subjected to, so I am highly impressed with the toughness of the Bear Grylls knife.
    The main drawbacks (for me) are the size and the price. I use a $7 dollar knife I found on Amazon that has a 3.5 inch blade and does everything I need (whittling trap parts, skinning and gutting game, making feather sticks, and as a fire steel striker.)
    I watched a movie (based on a true story) a couple of years ago about some African children (I think from the Sudan) who wandered in the wilderness for hundreds of miles with only a broken piece of glass as a cutting tool. I also found out that some indigenous people (where I live in the desert southwest of the U.S.) would simply use a sharp rock as a cutting tool and then discard it once the cutting task was done. Based on this information and my own experience, I think expending resources on a good quality knife so it can split wood is a waste. My bushcraft kit has a small knife, a hatchet, and a small saw. The total cost of everything is far less than the Bear Grylls knife, yet I think it is far more versatile.

    Hab ich schon drauf gewartet auf Deine Erfahrungen mit dem Bear Grylls. Ich bin da ganz unvoreingenommen ob es ein Bear Grylls-Messer ist oder ein Messer aus China-Stahl...
    Mich interessiert lediglich die Standhaftigkeit und die Schneideigenschaften. Wenn Du damit gut klar kommst, ist das für mich eine Empfehlung. Abgesehen davon sieht das Messer nach dem Kontakt mit dem sehr salzigen Mittelmeer super aus! Besser als mein Tauchermesser am Griff/Klingeübergang. Welches Messer nimmst Du nun nach dem Destruction-test?
