Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Fixed (31-002946)

Mr Grylls has no bad advice

The author of this knife is Bear Grylls, a well-known prepper. In his opinion, the most useful blade should look like this. In general, it is logical - on the one hand, the model is light (weight is only 107 g) and compact (total length is 198 mm, and the blades are 86.4 mm), and on the other hand, it is equipped with a rather massive blade of a universal shape, an ergonomic non-slip handle and is equipped with a convenient belt sheath . Moreover, the kit comes with instructions for survival (getting water, creating traps for animals, setting up a tent from improvised materials), each item of which can be implemented using the Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Fixed.

Lightweight and multifunctional

First of all, we note that the knife can be carried with you in any situation. Its dimensions clearly do not fit the title of edged weapons, so no permits from law enforcement agencies are required. But the blade is wide and thick enough to cope with any task. So, it is easy for them to chop dry wood for a fire, skin and butcher game and fish, strike sparks and even defend themselves in case of an unexpected attack, and, it doesn’t matter, from wolves or hooligans. In fact, in front of you is one of the most versatile knives in the world, which is useful both in urban environments and in nature. And thanks to the one-piece design (the so-called fulltang, in which the polymer handle is welded onto the steel shank of the blade), it will not let you down even when wringing out skirting boards during household repairs.

In the palm of your hand like a glove

The handle is made of polymer materials (that is, it is not afraid of moisture, frost, or falls), has an ergonomic bend, finger grooves and anti-slip notches along the entire length. It is very difficult to accidentally drop a knife even when working under water, and the installation of a lanyard completely eliminates the possibility of loss. By the way, at the end of the handle, the shank of the blade protrudes noticeably, but it is so conceived - it can be used as a hammer or glass breaker. This fact also means that the blade has a solid structure, i.e. forged from a single bar of steel, and it is very difficult to break it with a side load. And in general, to separate the blade from the handle, you will have to make a lot of effort.

A classic survival knife that can be used for hunting, fishing, at home and for self-defense.
