The Chinese are making almost all the tools for most of the companies. They have the drawings and specs for everything. It's really easy for them to make anything that is on the market. Our companies gave them all their secrets. We taught them everything we knew. Now they make their own brands with a few changes and are selling them for less. We handed them the keys and now we're screwed. Kids today in the US never worked in a factory. All us old guys who now how to run machines are disappearing. I have seen lathes, Bridgeport mills , and other machines sold for scrap. Corporate America gave it away.
That is a good knife. If I were you, I'd put that knife with your prep/bug out stuff. And turn in all the other knives to the shop for sharpening. Even the multi-tool. Or get a sharpening stone, the girls know how to use it. When I was in my twenties, I had a Thai girl. And she had a sharpening stone in a kitchen drawer. which she used regularly. It was the same with my last girlfriend who was from Chile. I have the same system. And I have the same kitchen knives for 25-30 years now.
Thanks, I just ordered a copy on Lazada . I want to try it in the kitchen. The Chinese copy passed the filipina kitchen and village test, so it is not that bad.
hello from UK, I purchased 3 knockoff strongarm knives from Aliexpress China , for less than $10.00 each delivered uk. the sheath is branded Gerber, but the knives are branded WPKOPYA with the Stars and stripes flag USA. they were advertised as D2 steel and very well made, I imagine they were so cheap as heat treatment is so critical, and all the adverse publicity with the knock offs breaking they are now dumping existing stock to recover costs. personally I want the knives for general camp and bushcraft work, and they should be fine provided they are not subjected to shock or lateral impact.
Nice video, thanks! I´d keep the original knife pristine and use the Chinese knock-off for everyday tasks since you already have it! The Gerber Strongarm is a nice knife to use in a survival situation or an emergency, so spare it to serious situations when your life depends on it. The Chinese fake is much inferior compared to the original but it´s not a bad knife in its category: cheap counterfeit knives. It´s much better than a mass produced kitchen knife.
I would suggest you only share the knife if it makes it easier for the ladies prepare food for you and your babies. I would consider investing in a sharpener and try ti keep the China blade sharp for them. Possibly even consider buying them a more appropriate kitchen knife and keep the strongarm for personal use.
No No No for torture testing. Keep the knife with the king. Leave the knockoff on the cooking table. Subtle but obvious differences between the authentic and the knockoff.
Yeah, after some time cheap chinese plastic usually acquires this "philosophical" Play-Dough consistency, in worst case scenario a coal-miner booger one. LOL. On a serious note; these phthalates are highly carcinogenic. I wouldn't even touch that handle anymore.
I have a couple of ka bar bk18's and a esee 4 chinese copies and I am impressed with the batch. Depends on the vendor some of these are hard to beat. Yea yea I know boycott china. But c'mon frugality prevails lol.
Hey Marcus,I was just watching your video about the fake Gerber strongarm. When you showed the image of the documentation that came with it. Check out the word Tactical on the paper. Damn Chinese can't spell. Tactibal surprised thay got the word Gerber spelled right
Some Gerbers are half decent knives but they are overpriced for what you get. There are better alternative out there if you get out of the illusion that "Made in USA" have something to do with good quality.
@@BoonieDocks Depending on your budget. But Mora Garberg is a good knife so is some of Fällknivens models. If you just want a knife shaped prybar a Becker BK2 will do you nicely. It is depending of intended usage really. There are some good deals from China too out there.
He can’t help himself, he’s the only one in the Philippines not having a good time because he keeps thinking about Chinese ppl slowly colonizing the world…
Sorry to tell you this but that new one is also fake. That 08722 serial number is on thousands of knives. They are getting better at making them and even the Gerber Amazon store has sold those fakes. You can watch a few other videos and find that same serial number and also 08720.

I love Gerber. I’ve been a Gerber guy for 40 years. I bought a Gerber with my first paycheck at 15 and still buy them and carry one daily.
Long time coming!!! Happy you got a real one in your hands
Tell Grandma no cow poop chopping with the new real Gerber.

Yea the cut and tensil strength of the steel. Love it
I have knives that are very expensive and I use them but I also respect them and take great care of them.
Good for you sir, caus if you dont, no one else will!! Just my feeling's about things I own!!😊👍🤟🤘🙃
Do you have a miniature version for cooking at home?
i love video mini cooking of youuu
Heyyy bro
That is a good knife.
If I were you, I'd put that knife with your prep/bug out stuff.

Keep it for your use only. Good knives have a specific use but even the best knives can be abused and destroyed by people that don’t respect the tool.
Definitely keep it for personal use King.
gerber website says if the the knife has a letter in the serial No. its a fake.
Great review. Great job.

I carry a Gerber pocket knife and have for decades. 👍🏼
Should do a comparison between two new knives instead of with an old knife.
I have the legit Strongarm. The knife was dull upon arrival. Was yours dull also?
Ohhhh king dude that knife would be perfect for a safe ride in the Chicago subway.. nice little tool….
Good morning 😎
If you could perform a rockwell hardness test that would be telling. The genuine one will probably hold an edge a lot longer.
Need some Mora knives for the village they are great inexpensive knives

QUESTION: can you carry a knife over there, or is that against the law?
It's generally illegal to carry any bladed weapon in public without a lawful reason.
Nice Video, Enjoy the Knife
It'll end up opening up a can of premium beef from Belgium my friend lol😊
Hello King
The noise inside they are coming out. Hello ladies and all.
Top knife here in Oregon is the Bench made,the Gerber use to be,but their quality is not what it use to be
No No No for torture testing. Keep the knife with the king. Leave the knockoff on the cooking table. Subtle but obvious differences between the authentic and the knockoff.
Release the 1st. Release the 2nd. Keep yours quietly.
Keep it for your personal use, and sharpen the knock off for the lady's
JUST BOUGHT A CLONE FOR $30... SO SHARP I CAN SHAVE WITH IT... KINDA IMPRESSED
Show the Filipinas a video of the $15 Walmart Farberware electric can opener. Their minds will be blown, bet they've never seen that.

How is the kids and wife King?
There is nothing like the real Mc Coy.

The real ones have a series of 5 numbers while the fakes usually have 7 numbers and then a letter.
shouldnt you be worried about the clone's coatin falling into your food?
They are going to find it and use it!! Don't worry about that! It's the Fhilipio way, no respect for tools
Relegate the knockoff to can opener duty and keep a close eye on the authentic Gerber so it's not used for nefarious activities by the ladies.
Can a foreigner carry a pocket knife in the Philippines? Will be going back soon but never bring my pocket knife

What do you like?

❤Authentic Gerber Strongarm 🙀Now By Royal Appointment To King 👑 🔪 For Chopping Vegetables 😮 ✅ AUSTRALIAN-GUY
May open a few more cans than Chinese version but not that much more. Not designed for that kind of use. Give the ladies the cheap one
❤
Don’t put it out on the table, keep something for yourself brother!!
Kddp it for personal use
It’s Chinese made, he was told not to like Chinese ppl so now he’s throwing a fit
be selfish, keep it to yourself and just use it when you want to use it, nothing better than a nice knife

You do know Gerber makes real coocking knifes?
I trust " Made In The U.S.A. " That's all I have to know.
Keep the Gerber for yourself,maybe have the Chinese knockoff professionally sharpened for the ladies to use in cooking
I cant believe how many Americans carry a knife everyday ,similar to carrying or forgetting a phone
In uk and Australia we don’t do that and illegal
Their not made from the same material. The U.S.A. knife is a high grade steel.
And what is the fake?
That knife was meant to be abused. Show it off
gee,,, you can make a video out of an ant hill, hahaha,,,, you really are BORED,, hahaha
