a well forged and properly tempered blade should bend with use but not retain the bend, they probably used sub standard steel to cut costs, I'd rather spend $200 on a knife without any of that fancy shit, but will also never fail before the third handle replacement

Ironically I bought this knife and had some bad luck with it. The knife broke off while batoning about 1 inch down from the tip. It wasn't very bad abuse either. Steel quality is questionable, but meh. Get what you pay for. The ferro rod snapped on me while I was hiking - I fell on some rocks and it snapped off in the sheath. Given some better materials and maybe a good redesign, I'm sure it'd be a pretty good knife

@GoodGuyRuska a full tang can still bend if it's not well tempered or you use shitty steel, all a full tang does is make the handle part of the blade so it doesn't break apart, it doesn't stop the tip from bending

I like the rape whistle, Bear has probably had to use it a time or two... but the only thing missing with his survival kit is the hotel key card.

I got the non serrated version for over 8 years, maybe longer. Never let me down, and still easy to resharpen. Gone through a handful of fire sticks by now 😊 The sheath is still outstandingly strong and robusto, albeit a little worn and scratches all over, the knife still locks in place firmly, and keeps it in place firmly. Requires quite a bit of force to depart it from it's cozy rubbery home. Although it doesn't stay sharp for long (under normal bushcrafty conditions), it's an absolute workhorse that can take a beating over and over again.

That serration is a beast for chopping, surpringly. Me and my buddies had this same exact knife, and while we were making a clubhouse up in the woods, we were taking young trees down like it was nothing. Not massive trees, mind you, saplings about 3-4, maybe even 5 inches around. Impressive for a little knife like that though.

Yeah, his Vic Falls episode, I was at a fancy hotel for a buffet not a mile from where he was clinging to a rock looking to dry off and make a shelter. They do hire a ph to go on nature walk out there. "Do not go into the bush, you will be eaten by a leopard" in fine African accent

Ive had this knife for years, never had any issues out of it, holds a good edge, never bent mine, and itll saw through a wire harness pretty good, i use it in the woods, in junkyards, in the shop, only complaint is with the sheath setup, that Velcro aint cuttin it, my sheath is currently held to the belt loops by some duct tape due to that

Rumor has it Little Red Riding Hood was using the whistle on this very knife which alerted the Viking woodsman to come to her aid and attack the Big Bad Wolf with his trusty Fiskars axe.

I've had this knife gotta be 8-10 years now. Have the strap to my canteen fed through the sheath so it's always close by when I'm out and about. When the serrations started wearing away I just ground them down so it looks a little bit like a tracker knife now. The edge disappears quicker than most but I keep it touched up with a smooth stone I found on my driveway, after a minute or so it's good to go again. All in all its a pretty good knife, certainly doesn't deserve all the hate it received when it first came out.

I have the other bear Grylls knife and while not a terrible knife it's not great. I haven't used it a lot and the blade is all chipped up so now I just use it as a toss around knife. Will not buy another one. There is a lot better knives around the same price point or cheaper that will do better
