I emailed Gerber after seeing this video and they said that the ones that come in the box are real but they are older than the ones that come in the other packaging.

Having bought one recently, I can definitely tell it greatly depends on where you're buying the knife. Mine is from a reputable offline store, came in a plastic blister (Bear Grylls in a blue shirt looking down and right), and the sheath looks like a "fake one" from this video so i was a bit skeptical. However, the sheath has both vertical and horizontal stripes, and the handle details are finely made, the overall quality is really high in general. I highly suspect it's a genuine one.

The “fake” one is not fake. Gerber outsources production to other factories. The second knife is likely to be made by another Fiskars factory outside US, but it is still a Gerber BG knife.

Not going to lie, whether or not it's an original, it is the sharpest knife I have ever bought for less than $10. I wasn't expecting perfection in a cheap knife like this, but quite honestly it's an excellent pack blade or what-have-you. I can't say the blade will hold its edge indefinitely, but in the five months or so that I've owned it, mine has retained its edge. Also for the record, mine did not come with a sheath.

Everyone thinks Bear Grylls fakes are everywhere, but I have yet to see a single fake. What you figured out is not true. Real Bar Grylls knives do come in that packaging. Just call Gerber and ask them. I did, and they said yes, many of the knives do come in those boxes.

Their site confuses me. I ordered the grandfather knife in Novemeber and it showed up about a month ago. It was in stock when iplaced the order. I also ordered a BG mug in November and it showed up in January from the U.K. air mail. I ordered it from the BG American site. I just ordered the bushnell solar charger from the BG America site. I said in stock and got an email yesterday saying 3-6 week back order. I never saw who delivered the stuff. It was dumped at front door.

This is not fake knife. Only the country of production is different. One is made in usa and the other by china cause gerber outsourced their production to China also. I like buying a Gshock watch. When you live in Japan you will get made in japan gshock no matter what. If you live in another country other then Japan you will get a Gshock made in China. I think rest of the world other then Japan are wearing made in China g shock cause casio has production units in China. It didn't mean that the gshocks all the world is wearing which are made in China are fake gshocks. They are exactly the same gshocks casio is making in japan. So correct your information man.

Some sellers aren't aware they are selling fakes and even offer guarantees on their product in addition to buyer protection. To buy the real deal look for the packaging as a starting guide when possible.

Ok, so I had them both (the one in the box and kept the one in wrap). The one in the box said Fiskar China and also had the Oregon, U.S address on it; that is why I thought it was fake. Now the wrapped package also had Fiskar China and the Oregon, U.S address on it. It is very likely that they both may have been made in China regardless of the packaging. The only difference is that the one in wrap package had a better aesthetic (looked nicer) value; hence the immediate examination by the purchaser. So go cheap by buying the boxed item and get the knife, but buy the wrapped package and increase your chance that the product you will get is a good looking knife as well.

The question of fake versus unauthorized grey market becomes cloudy. For example I think there is a video where Buck is interviewed and they mention that some models of their knifes that are manufacturered in China also get sold grey market. Thus the cheap packaging that holds pretty much an identical item. I just got some Oakley Ballistic gloves from a Chinese seller. Expecting inferior fakes, it appears that the gloves are the same as originals, packaging is just photocopied.

Bonjour, ce couteau n'es pas un faux, gerber a juste déporté sa production en chine et c'est l'entreprise Fiskars, propriétaire de Gerber qui les fabrique. Toutes la gamme bear grylls est fabriqué en chine par Fiskars, d'ou la différence entre les 2 couteaux. Quand a la boite en carton, c'est juste pour facilité le transport.

good video. While I agree the folding knife that you have is probably a fake, I just can't imagine anyone would want to counterfeit them. I have one (legit one), and I’m not impressed. The quality is just not that good, steel is cheap and the price is cheap. If you look inside the lock of the knife, the steel is pitted. None of my other lock-back knives are like that. So, why anyone with the right mind want to counterfeit this knife would is beyond me. May be they were bored or something.

I see the problem with fakes. Maybe it is better to buy original chinese brands instead if you want to save money. There are many cheap high quality chinese brands. I don't know if that goes for knifes also; I have no experience with chinese knifes. But if I see the brands Luckstone or Nature Hike I know that nobody in China dare fake them because they are chinese, and from personal experience i know that they make damn good stuff.
