I think looking at this may show the knife even better....

the Bayley knife though fugly was a real knife by all acounts while the Gerber seems to fall apart in use from all accounts!

John this should 'read fall apart in use from some accounts'... Not every knife has fallen apart and an awful lot have been sold.

It does... We could reasonably say that Knives sometimes have problems on release dispite the best efforts of the manufacturer.. For example the Spyderco bushcrafter and unstabilised handle material...

It's interesting to note that the packaging of the 'ultimate' knife advises you not to strike the back of the blade, ie, batoning...

If anyone
a) has bought one, and
b) is prepared to admit to it

perhaps they could consider adding an update to 'The Experts Choice' thread:

Ooh - does anyone know if Craghoppers are going to make a BG seal skin survival vest and thong?

Now your talking, maybe a firesteel in the budgie smuggler?

I make baskets - p*ss poor ones as yet...but I am getting better

Unlike BG branded kit - the Bayley knife though fugly was a real knife by all acounts while the Gerber seems to fall apart in use from all accounts!

I bet it takes hours to make a basket! and yeah the bayley knife was clearly a beast, I thought it looked alright and even the serations looked functional!

I know Bear Grylls gets a hard time with the negative criticism and I'm sure the knife would be ok for light use but I think half of the crap said about him is well earned.

My guess is he takes the Stephen King approach to marketing. He sells his name as an endorsement, does the bare minimum of marketing and then watches the dollars roll in.

Look at the number of terrible King films / TV series - yet few people would claim he was a bad author. But, once you stick your head out of the fox hole you are bound to get shot at.

I do know one thing, if I'm ever lost in the wilderness I'd be quite happy to have Bear with me, granted if given the choice I'd probably choose Kate Beckinsdale and just hope for the best

Probably less eating on her, but at least you'd die happy.
