I have a huge knife collection and I recently bought a coyote colored plain edge Gerber Strongarm. I hate to say this, but it’s my best knife. I took it camping in the remnants of a tropical storm earlier this week. There was no dry wood to be found and I actually NEEDED to baton firewood to create dry tinder and kindling. The Strongarm batonned very well, and stayed very sharp. I didn’t know what steel it was made of until I watched this video. I’ve always been a fan of carbon steel like 1095 and 1075, and I’ve never been a big Gerber fan. But this knife is optimal. I have a second degree black belt in tantojutsu, and I think this knife would be excellent for self defense as well. So yeah, it’s worth $90.
Look at the Milwaukee Hardline 5 inch knife. Basically a replica of the Strongarm for about 20 bucks cheaper. I like the Milwaukee's grip and the look of the knife more.
@@jamesshackelford6721 The Hardline 5 inch knife is manufactured in Taiwan (just like the Bahco wreckling knives and all Hultafors knives), while the remaining Milwaukee knives are manufactured in China.
I looked the knife up.. It's $85 to $110 in price and made of AUS-8 steel which is junk metal. Go look at the torture test. The steel fails. It does look like the Strongarm though but I like the Strongarm better. I hate paint or coatings on my knives. The Strongarm without the coating is a great looking knife.
I usually don't carry a fixed blade. I once had a no name hunting knife and since then only folders. I bought a black Strongarm two weeks ago and i can't wait to go hiking in the mountains again! Feels great, got it shaving sharp with some stroping and it looks amazing.
My personal Gerber is pretty close to this one, and I can say it’s nice. Of course, I have a custom sheathe for mine and it’s definitely seen some better days.
Mine is attached with molle to my every day carry backpack. I've beat the hell out of it while camping, hiking, and every day tasks. No complaints from me!
90 i pd 65 dollars about 6 years ago. But this is a dam good knife. I generally recommend this knife to most people. Especially to moms who are looking for a knife for their kid.
I have to say it's so dope being from oregon, not only was Leatherman started here but Gerber. Growing up our shity little gas station knives were $2 Gerber's that are now $10 to $15. They were the best shity knives you could get. Throw one in your tackle box shit we had them everywhere. Decent knives that last a great amount of time and made in my home. Win, win, win.
You can buy knock off’s that are literally the same quality, for $15, they don’t use any different materials, they even brand it as Gerber, but it doesn’t say made in Portland, Oregon.
First proper fixed blade I got . Attached the sheath to my 5.11 backpack I carry everywhere . Looks cool we fuck and super useful ! Love this knife . Now all I need is to learn how to sharpen lol
USA 🇺🇸 made Gerbers are fine. It's the China made junk that gives Gerber a bad name. I don't know why Gerber continues Chinese production. My strongarm and my gator are great.
This is the first Strongarm I've seen that doesn't have the black coating on the blade. It is a tough blade for being a simple knife. Just not crazy about the nylon straps on the sheath. But you can carry it scout style, too.
dang $90 i got mine in 2019 for 65 inflation is crazy
For real got mine for 50 a few years back
Thank a worthless politician for that .
I got mine today for $35.
@@pimpalamac3411where from? If Amazon, hate to say it, but you bought a fake. A $35 strongarm in this day is basically non existent
Got mine for 20 on offer up the kid was didn’t like how it looked.

Feel like your knive collection isn't focussed on quality then. Or you have a different opinion on knives thats fine.
@@f804.de.ruyter"that's fine" says the guy who is calling another person's collection bad quality
I got mine for $50 way back. Gonna keep it. Such a nice blade.
Proper knife, and for $99 definitely going to replace my lost one
Amazon is A LOT cheaper
you also risk getting a fake chinese replica lol @@jimdorsett

Is that knife made by the same company that makes Milwaukee tools ?

since when does it come with an olive green handle and satin blade?
It's a new variant, and for the rest of the year, you can only get it at Blade HQ!
@@BladeHQLater it will be available all around the world?
@@BladeHQcan I get customization in bladehq?
Looks like the Ursus Knife from CS.
Just had one delivered from ebay all black for 24.99 free shipping.
Take a close look if it's really an original one. Check the sheath, handle and the print on the knife to be shure.
You bought a fake one.. Ebay is FULL of fake Strongarm knives.. I accidentally bought one too.
100% yours is fake
@@outlawgt3045 mine is legit but i wouldn't trust a 25 dollar offer
They are Great just got another one
What edition is that never seen one with this greenish handle and not coated blade?
howd you get the silver color. they all coded.
It's an ok knife, have to sharpen it all of the time...
It's blade is made in China. How did you find this style? They only carry the black and the brown ones
It's a limited edition.
these where like 45 on sale not that long ago though
Those were knock offs being sold under the Gerber name
I want to like some of these new Gerber products but they made so much hot garbage it's hard to give them a chance now.
Agreed. But I bought the Strongarm after I saw the torture test Joe X put it through.
Seems like only a You problem. Every other knife company makes something thats garbage also, so your reasoning makes no sense.

@@TheChrisfleury1”gerber cheap plastic garbage” can’t put it any clearer.
I recently bought a gerber myth pro fixed blade. Havent seen too many reviews on it though. Does anyone have an opinion on it?
Just got it a tractor supply on clearance for 50$
i would go for it but the grind starts far too late man what a design flaw!
But is Portland, OR really even America anymore?
Mine was just a bit over 80
Got mine in 2018 for like $38
$90 for 420 is crazy to be frank
What grind is it?
what is the difrence betwen a eu made knife and usa made knife
The money stays here. Also probably quality.
The EU version comes with a funny accent.
i wonder the same thing
@@JackParsons2 eiiii whach ja tring to say ei
@@Bluuuu222 what is the diference betwen EU qalety and USA qualeti
i can think of a lot of knives i can get that are way better than the strong arm for the same price
Elaborate
@@Maggozonk alright do you want me to list some in the same price range or size category?
How about listing us a few please?
Where's our list?
@@Graysenhayes Yes, My bad.
Is Portland still America?
Got mine for $35
Turns out it was a fake. Shouldve known. Be careful, there seems to be a lot of fakes out there. On ebay especially.
I got one for 45 dollars lol
Where from? If Amazon, I hate to say it, but you bought a fake
The “exposed pommel” isn’t a pommel. It’s an exposed tang.
$90 for 420 steel 😂😂😂 even if it was a Buck heat treat that's way too much
I have n use for garbage stainless
Does it effectively make me look like a creep tho? 🤔
I searched nerf strongarm💀
A copy. The strongarm have the Blade black.
Best feature is it being usa made?😂
This is the first Strongarm I've seen that doesn't have the black coating on the blade.
It is a tough blade for being a simple knife. Just not crazy about the nylon straps on the sheath. But you can carry it scout style, too.
Molly attachment? They dont allow weapons in clubs ill just put my epills in my pocket
You say made in America but I just saw made in Portland.
Portland, Oregon....hello
@@drankedout4life1 yeah not America
@@tman040496tb... Oregon is in america
BUCK's 420HC does NOT have a "bad rap". OTHER 420 steels have a bad rap
Pun intended?
Srk is way better for half the price
"It's USA made" 😂😂. Bro, have you seen Japanese made knives.
First
Last
just got one for 49.80 shipped
420 heh heh heh
The f*** would that be a feature made in america by American people, that's just dumb propaganda
Rip off
