You're right! It's not even close to the original. From the lettering on the handle to sheath design. The Bear Grylls stuff was discontinued for the most part except for the Ulitimate survival knife. It's very similar except that it's black and green and doesn't have the survival guide pocket
@DaveB432 I wouldn't label it as a terrible knife. It really depends on what you use it for. I have the non BG version and I would NEVER use it as a survival knife!! However, as a hiking or outdoor knife for sure. I got it because I always wanted one even tho BG is a big fraud but I am a fan of Gerber. Granted, the knife is chinese made, but it's still good.
I own the Gerber BG Ultimate Pro and I have put it through its paces for 7 years and keeps on ticking. Such an incredible blade for backpacking. If you can swallow your pride and hip a knife that has the BG everywhere on it. You will not go wrong. It will perform!
no link for this in the video but good video i got a older one from wally world but they stopped selling it under the bear grills name there they only sale the ultimate survival knife now with out his name on it
@annodomini7250 You're correct, and the knife this guy is reviewing is not even close to the original. You can still buy the ultimate survival knife just not with the BG logo or colors.

The original one was POS. I understand there is a barrel full of these broken knives at Pathfinder School. With that said the Chinese knock off is probably better than the original. I wouldn't stake my life on it.
@@AlphaPreparednessmost of the Fiskars stuff is too. I think they have the same style as Kershaw where you have to buy the specifically marked USA made stuff.
This knife is ok for the first knife to give to your boy to play with in the backyard or camping but it’s a piece of Chinese junk and not a good full tang.If you want a good knife to save your life then pay the extra money and buy one.
Would you add this to your kit?
Yes. Pricey though.

No, however that is because I already have my favorite knives and some are custom to my specs.
Just ordered one from Temu. Shipping is free, so it was a no brainer to pick one up.
Great! Find! Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!
I'm sorry to tell you that what you've purchased is an imitation, a counterfeit of the original.

The original was a terrible knife.
@@Grayson_Baker really? why? I thought it was a really good knife

Move the knife, not the ferro rod. You'll get much better results.
Duely noted!
Gerber is a good company but i wouldnt go with bear grylls version/products
All BG is discontinued by Gerber.

It's a POS. They will break.

👍
Is it real Gerber or chinesium?
It seems just like any other Gerber I ever had. If it's a knockoff, it's really good.
@@AlphaPreparedness Doing my research trying to make a decision on it. Thanks for the info.
Some* Gerber knives are made in China.
@@izzate7 every BG knife I've ever had was.

😂 these are not Gerber knives this is junk
no chinese temu for me
You know it's fake.😢😂
Run into it and let us know how fake it is
The real one have nothing to envy, fake ones are so good this days .. you buy nearly the same quality but much cheaper
Bear Grylls stuff is 💩
