I have both and love both, but my Garberg is the carbon one, and my Strongarm is the Amazon exclusive grey handled with BDZ1 steel version. It does seem to hold an edge a little bit longer than the 420hc one. I used to have the standard 420hc version, but gave it away once I got the grey one. That's why I can tell it holds an edge longer..I've had and used both quite a bit. I wish I had kept the original one however, as the BDZ1 will not throw a spark off a ferro rod. No idea why, the spine is plenty sharp enough. It scrapes fatwood fluff great, but wont throw a spark to save your life. Still a great knife however..Gerber knocked it out of the park with that one, but as much as I like it, I carry my Garberg far more often. It's just a better wood crafting knife with the scandi grind. The Gerber is a great all around use belt knife though. I think it would be a great choice for a soldier as it's tough as nails and can definitely handle any tactical needs if God forbid it gets to the hand to hand stage.
You should check out the Mora Kansbol. Whilst its not full tang, the multi grind on it gives the best of both worlds as a bushcrafter, and utility knife. I love mine!
@@tidge879 I do have a Kansbol. I agree, it is a good knife, and I like it more than I thought I would.
I can confirm the benefits for soldiers, I am from Ukraine, my friends were half-encircled in a one-story house during urban battles, the exits and windows were well-fired, they knew that as soon as the enemy artillery reached our heavy equipment, they would focus on us, in addition, an enemy tank was already spotted a couple of streets away. Being in a house that dismantles a tank is not such a pleasure. It was necessary to leave, but how if all the exits were under fire? They climbed into the basement and called for backup, my friend took out his mora garberg and began to dismantle the brickwork, it was no longer very fresh, but nevertheless, this damn knife was able to cut cement joints. They managed to dismantle part of the brickwork and make a small hole then climb out through this hole into the backyard,
and then carefully leave the house through the backyard and join our troops
I feel the Gerber is more of a tactical knife than a survival while the mora is more of a bushcraft
Fair fair. But undoubtably both are sold as survival knives
@Douglas Pantera hi, which are the other few for bushcraft/survival/combat? Im looking for similar knives with about 12cm

I love my Gerber Strongarm,
But there is another knife I think fits the bill in all three categories you mentioned.
The Brakimo from TOPS Knives.
Worth every penny.
I think the strong arm has more utility across wider survival scenarios ( urban / rescue ect ) and garburg more aligned with bushcraft - own both - have modded my strong arm slightly - like everything guys - make your tools the way you prefer - and yes there are limits to what you can change - but have fun dont be worried about making them look bad - its all about function, learning and fun
Nice review there brother. I've been thinking about the Garberg for a while. May have to get one.
You should! They are nice
I have the Garberg Carbon and the Kansbol. The Kansbol has to be the sharpest blade I’ve ever had. I also have the companion and the outdoor wood carving knife which cost me £11. Great review. I actually really love the design of the strong arm, it looks delicious. And God bless you too my friend ☺️
Proper test review comparison is using both without gloves on for extensive period of time.
I noticed how you used the cut wood to brace the smaller piece you were notching. I will remember that.
Keen eyes
@@AlaskanFrontier1 "A master reveals his mastery in every action." You have a lot of outdoors experience.
@@jamespisano1164 I definitely appreciate someone who sees it
These 2 knives are the ones I chose to purchase after looking through all the options. I love them both. I have the carbon Garberg and black handled Strongarm though.
The edge of the Strongarm steel cant get razor sharp like the Garberg so I would choose the Garberg if I had to take only 1 but I just recently got the Gerber Principle as a companion to the Strongarm, which really perfects the system and covers all the bases.
Great video sir!!
Thanks for this, helped me decide.
No problem 👍
Reprofile the secondary edge to a convex on the Gerber and it will bite just as well as the Scandi Garberg.
You should have included the price comparison it's a big factor in deciding either one
Well both are fairly similar in price
Does the spine on Garberg have the coating filed off for throwing sparks?...thanks for your videos
This is the stainless Garberg, so it has no coating.
I got both..depends on what your doing..the scandi is a better wood carver by far...the strongarm is a tank..i throw it jab it and swing it around without a care of breaking it. Defferent feel one is light and slices while the other makes you think you can break a rock in half😅.
I really want to see the Strongarm tang underneath the handle. What it looks like but there’s no videos I can find of anyone taking the handle off.
@@alexandercarder2281 ...yes that I wounder also..i can't find it on the net also..i seen a pic but its so bad you can't make it out.
Love your videos, Thank you.
Glad you like them!
At feathersticking you said the Gerber slightly outperformed. Was that a mistake on your part or did I not understand correctly? I have the Gerber knife and have been considering the Mora but wanted to know which one is better at carving specifically (and overall bushcraft tasks). I also have a Mora Companion (which feels much better at carving than my Strongarm) but I'm not sure if the Mora Garberg is similar to the companion.
No mistakes here. Flat grinds are easier to use for FEATHERSTICKING.
This is NOT the same as carving
I own both..
In my opinion.. The Garberg is a much better go to all rounder/EDC..
Youve set up camp.. Youve built the fire..
Which one are you going to sit down and eat your dinner with?
The Strongarm is not a bushcraft knife..
It is a small tactical/survival knife.. So unless your name is Rambo..................................
You're right about having to adapt to a new grind. The Garberg will featherstick much better once you've dealt with the secondary microbevel.
You could grind it down to a pure scandi, do a broad convex on the whole scandi region until it is a "scandivex", or just do a short 1-2 mm convex in the microbevel region. Any of these fixes will bring the performance up on feathersticking and any other fine skimming cuts.
My theory is that Mora has recognized that a lot of Garberg buyers are from the US. We have some hardwood forests. A 13 degree scandi edge fares very poorly on processing hardwood, which probably needs a 17-20 degree edge, especially with a budget steel (e.g. not CPM 3V). So with a small microbevel, it will work okay at the start, then the customer can sharpen it back towards pure scandi or some kind of scandivex (15-17 degrees) for softwood, or keep/grow the microbevel at about 20 degrees for toughness in hardwoods, or maybe even an aggressive 20 degree scandivex for hardwoods.
I see the microbevel as a challenge to decide, much as hatchets are often delivered mostly unsharpened so you are free to pick your profile.
Excellent vid.
Thank you
I find the strong arm a pig in the hand after prolonged use that top gurard digs into my thumb something horrible, same at the bottom if using it to chop , also using it lots during summer the rubber grip started to deteriorate, gerber really need to Field test there knives , mora actually listen to what users say and it shows in the garberg , I've put the garberg through heavy use and it has proven it's worth , for me it's the garberg hands down , with a few modifications to the strong arm it's still way beyond the garberg ,
Nice review
Thank you! Cheers!
gerber is a hit & miss company. It depends on your luck!
I have gerber multitools and they are amazing but my strongarm is defective according to the customer service.
I think mora provides a more stable product quality, I dont know.
Mora definitely is more stable. I can't say I have ever had a bad Mora, and I have had over 10 of then (some of which were the same models) all did just fine.
I have 6 Mora’s and the Strongarm. I love them all.
Wow the voice...
Yeah its weird.
@@AlaskanFrontier1 yeah I started touching myself when I heard it. Weird.
Thank you for this review. I was trying to make up my mind between the two
Welcome!
New carbon garberg arriving tuesday, selling my strongarm sunday.
Funny as an all around woods blade I just don't like scandi .
They have their pro's and cons for sure
Love my garberg. But just wish it was longer. Still I have a kephart in cpm3v and I prefer that
Hmm that's an interesting point.
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Yes, I think in that line too, should be abou 6 inches blade
I felt the same way. I suppose the 4" Garberg is perfect for notching, but for other tasks like splitting, it is a little short.
That's why I got the 140mm (5.5 inch) Terava Jaakaripuukko 140 from Varusteleka. About $75 for the knife, wonderful sheath and delivery from Finland. They come stainless (12c27) or carbon (80crv2 - slightly improved 1084) with an excellent heat treat. They are just about as bulletproof as the Strongarm.
I would prefer the «Strongarm». Ewen, if I’m a Scandinavian. The «Gerber Strongarm», is the BEST, ever.😊
We all make mistakes, some more than others.
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Have You ever heard about the Norwegian knives, of the brand «Helle»? If You get Your hands on one of them, You will not be dissapointed, Sir…😉
@@unprofor9394 I have I owned one for years
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Really? I have many of them. Different models, for different tasks. I got my first «Helle», when I was 14. I still have it. Now, I’m 51. That knife, is still in very good shape. It wasn’t new, when I got it. My uncle passed away, so my aunt gave it to Me..
I love that knife.😉
Kylo Ren?
Smh......
$70 vs $250
I don't like the mora design it doesn't have a finger guard
I like that it doesnt have finger guards
Geber Strongarm in beast off the knife. Wery good knife I use it all the time its bulit prufe
Its not bad
Woot 1st 🤣🤣🤣
🎉 Hahaha
The Garberg is so much better for anything wood. The edge on the strongarm starts much farther away from the handle on the Gerber. The guards interfere with a lot of grips. The Mora is easier to sharpen in the field and is just way more ergonomic in use. I’ve been watching a bunch of reviews now and get depressed by how much emphasis is put on batoning. Reviewers always begin with beating in the knives. Is this really this common? I only ever to very light batoning if I have to.
A real stress test for a knife would be to make a trap or carve a spatula. My favourite knife is the Kansbol. A 2.5mm thick knife will cut much better than a thicker blade and is strong enough.
I own a Garberg and an LMF 2 and love them both. It drives me crazy when knife channels trash the Gerber for not being full tang as if that is the ONLY feature a survival knife should possess. Yes, I have a lot of full tang knives including and Esee 6. But that doesn’t make my Gerber knives any less serviceable. When used properly, Gerber knives will perform brilliantly. People in the Military understand that all too well!
You know it!!
Good review but talk louder next time
Ok will do
What’s the deal with this guys voice lol
I don't know.
He got herpes on the throat
Check out this guy breaking his Mora Garberg from simple batoning: ua-cam.com/video/_A9P0Ka2fEA/v-deo.html
Morakniv is not made in china
His voice is something to get used to!
Yes
I recommend Strepsils brother ✊
