I imagine that technology will soon be seen on Gerber folders, hopefully not the Bear Grylls versions.

I think of Gerber's as having butter soft steel. Am I right?

Bear Grills knives look like his survival show. Fake nonsense.

Im not sure about butter but its a huge shame as CS make some really nice knives and I seriously doubt Gerber will keep them all. Probably after the tech as Gerbers aren't known for their strong locking mechanisms. They do make pretty good fixed blades. (at least they used to, haven't owned one in more than 20 years)

What pisses me off about Bear Grylls is that he claims man and mountain but theres 40 support people plus cameras etc so its like you say, fake nonsense IMO.

He does the wrong things as a matter of routine. He should be mocked regularly for the dumb shit he teaches people. Jumping down waterfalls? How do you know you can get down the next section or back up what you just came down? Just nonsense. The NZ one is classic. Somehow he gets from Fiordland to descending down a loose shitty greywacke crag that he could just go around. I really don't like that he teaches people to do things wrong, just to make drama.

I think he cursed Gerber knives. I think I had one that was very soft. I may be doing them an injustice. I might just be put off by fake Bear Grylls. I like some of the knives, Kershaw as well.

Put off Kershaw because I bought a sheath knife, really liked the blade. Sheath was fake leather, basically cardboard. Belt loop shredded the first day I used it.
