    The Gerber Strongarm is definitely the knife to get. I have this nice and not only does it have great Edge retention, looks, feel, and it is 100% fully functional and can take a beating from a freight train. I totally recommend this knife, and would entrust my life with it.

    Ive had the predecessor of this knife for over 15 years and have used it heavily. My absolute favourite workhorse knife for both my local camping trips and long hauls 👍🏼 if these newer knives are anything like the old ones.. definitely an awesome awesome awesome knife.

    I like this knife a lot, I ran across another UA-camr who makes a kydex replacement piece that negates the need for the webbing attachment, looks to be a worth while investment to make a great knife system even better, sub your channel looking forward to seeing more thanks for your perspective.

  • @jfilm7466
    @jfilm7466 4 роки тому +2

    I think I found another mounting option. If you remove all bits from the sheath and slip the it inside the waistband of your trousers with the smooth side towards you. The molle "gaps" in the back grip the sheath to your waistband and giving you a nice concealed carry.

      I found the most discrete place yet to put the sheaf. I managed to get up my ass really uncomfortable at first but you get use to it and now I can simply slide my strong arm i to my ass crack and it really is impossible to know it is there.

    things in motion would be momentum right? not leverage? the knife is what it is nice commentary and introduction to the knife. if you still have it any thoughts to a break test? if you still like the knife ill replace it.

    I bought this same knife to go hog hunting in Texas, I only took the knife and a ball peen hammer, I ended up jumping out and trying to stick me a pig but it trampled me and broke my left knee and left arm. I screamed my head off for help but it just attracted more pigs and they tried to eat me alive. I stabbed one pig over 16 times and it finally ran away, after it bit a chunk out of my taint area. Them pigs bit me like 100 times and broke 6 of my bones and crushed my left ball in to paste.

      @@PoetbyDay naw I was just drunk on stump liquor like I always used to be. My papaw used to make something he called stump whiskey and one shot would get you crap your self drunk. You could run a car on that stuff and we did a few times. Can’t tell you how many people he sold that stuff to had to be hospitalized after drinking too much of it, a few didn’t make it. But I was drinking it from bout the time I was 8 years old to 43 years old. I quit drinking it cuz my doctor told me “if you don’t stop drinking this stuff you are absolutely going to die and go straight to hell” so I had to quit. Crapped my self way more than a few times after drinking it, once in a jc penny and once at the movies to go see taken when it came out. I was too drunk to be embarrassed, I just joined the crowed hollering “good lord what’s that smell?!”

    I like Gerber products. I have an old "bolt action" knife I bought in the summer of '85 (on my long M/C trip from SoCal to my old home in CO) and with the exception of the little caps covering the blade pivot falling out (and sadly getting lost), which doesn't affect function, it's held up great, though the sheath is coming apart a little at one seam. It needs a good sharpening, better than what I can do, but it's been a great knife over the years, and I think I might pick up a serrated Strong Arm in black.

      Exactly what I was thinking. He’s not the first guy I’ve got annoyed at for being a jerky turkey 🦃 but I kind of realised he just got his brand new knife and he probably new to videos and a bit of an over excited whipper snapper 🤣🤣🤣 I hate to say it but I’m afraid he got the fake Chinese version. It’s a really good fake though and I don’t get why they would make such a great fake when it’s practically as good as the real thing. Where’s the profit In that? But it’s not about profit it’s about overtaking Gerber and downing our companies by over saturating their market with there fakes. How many lost sales has Gerber suffered to the amount of fakes China is punting?
