Not to be a knife snob, but both of these knives are considered as "MEH" for survival knives. They're better than nothing, but the mystery steel leaves something to be desired. If you can find one, the Schrade SCHF2sm or SCHF9 are better steels. ( 1070 and 1095, respectively ) Aftermarket sheaths should be available for both. Of course, if you follow the philosophy of Les Stroud, then the Bear Grylls ( and Les Stroud ) survival knives are intended for a single-use tool to get you back home. They should be good enough for this purpose.
I prefer the older one. Nothing against the pro but in unfortunately I've been through SHTF events. And the old one would've been something I could've used more. Anyways just have to wait . We get SHTF events here in the Philippines every few years hahahah
The pommel on mine broke without even touching it, I was batoning and the shock transmitted to the back of the handle and it simply broke. It might be the original one but I got it in 2023, some disgusting cheats out there still sell that unimproved version.
That Ultimate Pro is a legit knife. Good steel, full tang, great handle, and well balanced.
i agree. its not my favorite but it is totally legit. perhaps the most legit mass produced gimmick survival knife. they did a great job with it.
Excellent video. No bullshit. Thanks. Be safe.
Thanx sir. Likewise.

you could probably get a replacement knife for the one with the broken pommel. it's a known issue with the original
Thank you. I'll look into it.
The bear grylls fixed blade i have is badass but its no esse 4 or 6

Where i can buy the knife siir..
I got mine at Cabela's. I think I've seen them at Wal-Mart.
Surely the Gerber website is a good bet.
Which is better ?...NONE !
the Pro is definitely better
@@nan-alive2020 Still is trash. Get something better.
