Bear Grylls New Knife

[JonathanD]

Well we knew that he and Bayley went their seperate ways and that he went with Gerber to produce a range of survival Knives and multi-tools. Here are the first pics of his knife...

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! COugh cough ahem, I actually quite like the guy, but that knife is not a looker, it looks like it's from Tron! I have a real strong dislike to that knife, the more i look. nononono.

It seems to be a variation on the Gerber Prodigy which looks a fair bit nicer:

 

[marcelxl]

Hmmmm, Indeed!

They will sell like the perverbial hotcakes though and you know it!

Not for me though but a few things I like for an emergency knife which, I'm guessing this is designed for and not something to become friends with...........

be interesting to get one in the hand to understand it better

I wonder why they haven't switched to the chisle edge serations as in the newer gerber mk11

 

[Robbi]

i can't figure out the carry system...how does that work then ?

Tron?

Either that or Automan.

I think it's an ugly knife, however functional it may be, but will appeal to pseudo military/airsofter types or fans of Grylls.

They're trying to make it too space age and modern. Why can't they just stick to classic clean lines, functional yet stylish?

It's as comic looking as the Explora Survival knife.

I can't understand why folk buy these sharp edged shapes with a blade attached (see what I did there?).

Maybe I'm just getting old...

Oh Gerber why did you did that?

You're going to get rich but you're also gonna be remembered as the brand that made the BG knife and everyone in 20 or 30 years will laugh at you.

I'm laughing now...

I don't think they have much to lose and plenty to gain $$$$$$. Gerbers reputation took a nose dive years ago when the quality and manufacturing did the same.

If I was to strike a deal with a manufacturer, Mora would be the choice.

Sorry Miyagi, Tron the film from 1982, with all the dayglow lines molded into there suits.

He knows. He remembers Automan ***. New Tron movie is out soon too. Maybe they'll be promoting Teddys knives. The full range is being released in January 2011 and is a collection of ten pieces of knifeyness.

Sad to say Southey, JD is right I remember them both.

At least Manimal never had a knife...

They've redone Charlie's Angels, there's a new A Team coming out, a new Karate Kid movie (Jackie Chan is good in his own right, but Noriyuki "Pat" Morita R.I.P. is THE Mr. Miyagi) and now a new Tron movie?

What next? Blakes7.

Or Camberwick Green The Movie "You won't beleive these are Playdough!!!"?

I did like the new Battlestar Galactica TV series though...

Edit; Apologies for the thread hijack, but Tron etc., have more appeal than yon knife.

 

[poddle]

Not my sort of thing at all, but I am sure boy scouts will like it. It's in their price range too

 

[Hoodoo]

I think all it needs is a corkscrew and yer good to go.

 

[Shewie]

The whistle and diamond stone are useful additions but it's not for me either

 

[dozzer]

i like it, its in a good price range aswell!

 

[Graham_S]

To be honest, it doesn't look that bad.
I probably wouldn't have one myself, but it's better than some so-called survival knives out there.

Survival knife, Bushcraft knive etc., they're all targetted at a market (we know, but forget as our jaw drops at the sight of them) but some have an elegance and functionality.

Personally, I still have my late Gran's bread knife in daily use. It's more stiletto than bread knife these days but has seen more action than some of the fashionable lures you see these days.

Mind you, she had a lot to feed..

 

[hiho]

i quite like it,

but with 90% off the price.....
