Great knife! 100% satisfied - Gerber StrongArm Fixed Blade Knife

100% recommend this knife. If you're looking for a do it all, jack of all trades, will take a beating and keep on ticking knife, SHTF, bug-out bag knife, that could save your life, this one is the ONE. I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend. I really like the grip and rubberized texture on the handle. Super beefy blade that I am very confident in and sharp enough for me.

Balances really well and is a great throwing knife too. Black coating will rub off over time/use/abuse and should be expected. Sheath is really great, giving you a very nice "click" sound when engaged. I haven't really tried but I don't see this falling out under normal use.

I'm sure there are other better knives for other difference purposes, like bushcrafting and what-not. There will be better knives out there for that specific purpose (like the Mora Garberg which I almost got would likely be better at bushcrafting vs the Strongarm), however I wanted a very strong fixed blade that can DO IT ALL/survival type of knife, it won't necessarily do everything better than others, but it will be capable of doing EVERYTHING. Trade-offs right. This knife can do bushcraft (maybe not the best) but it can do it. The can also serve as a great self-defense fighting knife. Has good grip, will work well for stabbing (if needed) has a good enough guard, is tough steel, has all the great mounting options, and for the price am very happy with my purchase.

As a side note, this was my 1st order with Optics Planet and the product arrived 1 week after being ordered, well within their stated delivery time, so very happy there w/ Optics Planet too.
