Gerber's Bear Grylls knife is a great knife. i looked at all these places (SAIL,Flahretys, Canadian Tire, BPS and Cabelas website, the Helle site) for something that would make me spend money to replace the BG knife i've had for 2 or 3 years. I can't do it. it's just perfect. it's cheap, made well enough that it would actually help you survive without breaking, heavy enough that you never have 'too little knife' and if you lose it, who cares? buy another one. the firesteel and orange colour are just too practical to go to something without that built in. FWIW, I usually do Algonquin/Temgami camping or elsewhere in Ontario. My needs are for scouting, fishing, emergency. I also use the knife to quickly remove the suction cup from my transom (works perfectly for this). i do find that it's a bit too big to easily cut line from a tied knot but i've been using clippers for that since i was a kid but the serrated edge is beautiful against braid so it kinda evens out. does anyone else have a great knife suggestion that might replace my trusty BG knife? I would love to have something that doesn't make me look like an idiot consumer in front of the grown ups also if you'd like to encourage me to stick to my guns and use what works i'd love to hear that also
