good tip retention, maintains edge, very sharp, but over all, IT WILL KEAL

Finally, I was beginning to wonder what a positive review looked like. Good to know not everything out there is junk

So basically, get this one instead of the one with Bear Grylls’ name on it lol.

I’ve had this knife for three years. I had it strapped to the bottom of my backpack for when I had towalk to work. It’s been on numerous camping trips and even gone to Colorado mountains. I still haven’t sharpened it once and still don’t need too. It’s an AMMAZING knife.

Attach it to just about anything,, Girlfriend... Lol.. Love the content bro.

It's so nice to see that Gerber is finally making good blades again. The aughts were a dark time for Gerber.

I grabbed one of these on sale a while back and just threw it in my bag. I have probably a dozen knives that cost 5 times more than this and for some reason the Strongarm is what I always grabbed without thinking. The weird thing is I've had horrible experiences with gerber as a company over the years, so kind of surprised the strongarm actually lived up to its reputation. Definitely one solid blade

Got issued one of those with a sharpening stone for SERE. That poor knife was so clapped out, but after a few minutes on that stone she’d be back ready to work.

"Impeccable tip retention" That's what she said 🤣👍

Every Gerber I have owned has never let me down. Some of the sheaths have fallen apart before but never the knife and Gerber has replaced every Sheath that has malfunctioned on me. Definitely worth the money

Damn that is definitely some next level alloy. I know for a fact none of my knives could keep their edge after stabbing through metal that thick.

Oh god, my pants where already soiled when you sparked the rod. I wish I had, well, money in general. Fuck, I feel like a nice like that would allow me to even live in this god forsaken desert.

I own one for bushcraft. 4 years at this point. Stays sharp, tip still intact. Best knife I've ever purchased. The black (paint?/protective coat) is wearing out from all the batonings, but no rust.

I can attest to this knife. I've had one for years, and it does take a beating.

Absolutely love mine. Never put it through nearly this much stress but it's good to know it will hold up if need be.

I love my Strong arm. Ive had mine for over 2 years now. Has survived a training rotation to Korea as well as Germany and more field events in the Georgia swamp than I can count. Bought it for the Sheth and keep it on the front of my kit. Behind my mag pouches which has ended up being a great setup.

Bro I found one of those laying outside of a pizza hut and I never realized how good it actually was thank you for showing everyone this

Great vid! Picked one up to have something sturdy and sharp on my pack fly fishing back bays and sod banks. Two years in the salt and still in great shape.

What the fuck that tip is insane Basically that means superior modern alloy, and perfect heat treatment

I carried one everyday for near on 10 years and once beat it into an oak log and used it as a step

Gerber has always made fantastic knives. I’ve always had one or two, love ‘em.

I figured it out. Dude is superman. Look at him with no beard and a suit on. He’s Superman.

Absolutely love this way of reviewing beatable fixed blades, not crazy technical. The points being made are based in reality and based on real world experience.

Bro, thank you so much for reviewing this knife. Bought one in black a few months ago, now I feel better about my choice. (Was too nervous to attempt to test it since I'm currently not making a whole lot)

Just discovered your videos a few minutes ago and I must say so far I am a fan.

Looks great I wish Gerber would make this model in a 7 or 8 inch blade. It was number 1 in Joe X "s knife destruction testing of many many knives. Like you mentioned he didn't break the tip either. Nice review Thanks 👍

Gerber makes my favorite blades. Had one fall out my pocket when riding one day, ended up inbeeded in the roadway. Flatbar n a hammer got it out. Still sharp works great no issues opening and closing. Does have a few scratches now tho

They have them at Walmart and I was thinking to add to my collection too. Think now I gotta grab one.

that's one of my cheaper knives i own and everytime i decided to take it out into the woods i have never been disappointed! a SOLID budget friendly knife for long-term use, i actually mounted a ferro rod holder to the side of it from the bigger Buck Selkirk! just make sure that the grinds and spine of the blade itself are evenly crafted if small things like that bug you!

Best knife you've reviewed yet I believe!

I'm impressed it's still sharp after the ammo can.

Tactical girlfriend fr

Very cool to have you do my kit knife and have it pass with flying colors. Gives me even more confidence in it. Thanks, brother!

So glad to see your review of this knife! I got it for Christmas last year and I love it. Good to know it holds up under tough scrutiny

Love this knife, not the highest quality steel but it’s damn near indestructible. I don’t like serrations on blades but this version looks great. Awesome review!

THIS is how you sell a product

A friend gave me a strongarm for Christmas a few years ago. To date, it’s arguably my favorite knife, and it’s an absolute must have whenever I go hiking.

Try the Gerber Prodigy. Basically the same blade but the handle has a better feel. Also comes with a leg strap.

I’ve always been a knife person and Gerber is an awesome brand I got to have one

I’m happy u gave it a good score. It is by far my favorite knife and the one I choose when I go anywhere.

It’s about time lol the algorithm has lead me to this channel and I watch a new short of yours once a day and this is the first knife in 5 days that I have seen that makes it past the first test lol

That knife was with me for multiple deployments, military schools, camping trips, and even some scuba diving. You will not be disappointed with this knife. I had a glass breaker on the back of mine; I think this one does too but I can’t tell.

Mr beast out here in a parallel universe

Great demonstration. Excellent job Gerber

This is perfect for me. I’ve been thinking about getting this knife for a while and you definitely have me on board now.

This guy just did an entire season of Forged With Fire in just under a minute.

I’ve still got the old one they came out with like 10 years ago, the Bear Grylls one (I was obsessed with Bear Grylls as a kid) and still 10 years later, although the handle is a bit beat, the blade is still 100% reliable!

Damn! That's a durable blade!

had pretty much decided to get one of those knives. Your review made my day.

Had this exact knife for years now and I can confirm it is fantastic. Great review.

Cold steel bushman next!

looks to be my new knife, thanks.

I bought one of these years ago and love it. Im glad to know i chose well.

Been drooling over one of these in my Amazon cart for a couple weeks now, definitely gonna get one now

Those are one of my favorites 10/10 is very appropriate

Not bad for a 75 bucks knife 👍

I was glad to see this review even after knowing firsthand what good knives they are. I own two hand have bought several as gifts for friends and family. I love knives made in the USA!

That ammo can hurt me

Every Gerber I was issued in the Navy I absolutely loved.

I've had one about 3 years now and it's still my favorite(also they sell them on wish for like 28 dollars now)

Have two of these. Trust em with my life ngl

I've had one of those for years and hands down one of my absolute favorite knives

I picked up my Strongarm a while back, it is AMAZING. Came with a razor edge out of the box, keeps an edge, sheath is great. Worth every penny.

Every Gerber I’ve ever had, I still have. Total quality!😎🇺🇸

Damn, I never knew Gerber made baby food AND outdoor knives 😂

I didn't think knives you are reviewing survived , also good to know that a couple of my knives pass the test , thanks again for another great review

Funny that I've had one of these in my get-home bag for years, and never had any idea how capable it was!😂

Can you do a yugo m3 bayonet? Great video, keep up the good work!

10 different knives were harmed during the making of this video.

Adding as my EDC soon as I can afford!! Thank you for the content my guy.

I bought mine for $70 a year ago. Didn't know someone would make me love it more on KZfaq.

Free knife with every pot of baby food, thank you, Gerber Baby.

Daaamn that thing definitely earned that 10/10 Maybe my next survival tool purchase or maybe just for hiking Love the hard work you put into your content! ❤️

I've had the same Gerber multi-tool for over 25 years. Still use it regularly. They know how to make blades...

Somehow gerber made 420hc into this mythical steel...awesome knife

You know it's good because its made in Oregon

Thanks for reviewing this one! This is a knife that ive been wanting to know about. This ones been on my list since ive been looking for a cheaper reliable bushcraft knife

Just subscribed a few hours ago and very satisfied with all the tips and stuff from this channel

For 76.50 USD hell that's a great knife

Got a new sub, good video, I'm a knife guy just bought a Benchmade, paid $150, I'm scared to carry it, I'll lose it. I got it bright orange tho.

Gerber is all I'll ever own. I broke a Gerber folding knife battoning through wood. Sent them an email with pics, they mailed me a brand-new updated version of the same knife! Not many companies stand by their products like that these days. Not to mention American made! Thank you Gerber for an excellent product

Finally , a knife that you have reviewed that passes your tests and I actually want to get .

I was issued one of those. They are disposable in my eyes, i can get another. Never needed to that thing is a beast.

Not gonna lie, sounds like you've got some kinda deal with Gerber. I've had/have some Gerbers that are just awesome. The strongarm is certainly not one of those tools. Tip and edge retention were pretty bad. I broke the tip doing the same thing you were doing, but I was trying to be a showoff and show my buddy what a sweet deal I got lol. Batoning a piece of pine caused the blade to chip in multiple places. I ended up cutting the blade into a different shape, using it for a bit. Maybe they've changed the steel or the heat treating since I've owned it, or maybe I just treated the thing poorly enough that it failed on me lol.

I bought this knife 3 years ago at the recommendation of the shop owner. Glad to know that my living room knife will KEAL

In middleschool my lunchbox was an ammo can I completely forgot until seeing a man stab through one on a short at 3 in the morning

U use this knife in the Army during our field ops. Such a good blade, it's never failed me.

Lol he thinks tacticool guys have girlfriends

Keep up the knife reviews, lovin’ them!👍

It’s a decent knife but the edge retention isn’t great. It’s 420hc so naturally it won’t stay super sharp for long, if he cut some ropes he would’ve noticed. Also the one I own hurts like a bitch in my hand when I baton. It’s a great knife to beat the shit out of but don’t expect it to stay sharp super long

I own 5 of these knives for a reason my wife thinks I'm crazy but when we go camping what's the first thing she ask for, it's one of these knives from me ha who's crazy now women

Not gonna lie, I was so excited to see you test the knife I carry everyday, but thrilled that it passed the tests 😂

Thanks for the information. Because of your review I just bought. Love it. Great knife and great channel.

It will ",Kill"

It was designed to cut through the fusalage of a chinook in case of a crash

Have been a " Gerber baby" for almost 40 yrs now. Gerber Strong-Arm (partially- serrated) and an MP-600 multiplier have never let me down. Although I did go off the rez and pick up an ESEE 3 (plain-edge) for backup. What I like most about mine is it has just the right amount of sheath retention (grip). The best blade in the world won't do you a damn bit of good if you can't (easily) get that sucker deployed. 😎

Note: buy this

I have this exact knife since 2014. I love it. I've sharpened it once in all this 8 years and it is incredible and still sharp. The best knife and for a great price

I have had this for about 10 years now, it's awesome

One of the best deals out there for an all-purpose fixed-blade knife. The edge on mine was a bit uneven, but that was easy enough to reprofile.
