    And nobody gets hurt

  • Ebay ~$80 so if shipping is <$10 this is a good deal.

    I asked you guys so many times about this and you at first said it was overpriced as if you wouldn't stock it

    In the end I bought it elsewhere

    • +2

      I think what we said was that they were on backorder and they'd be listed when they landed. And at $69 we don't think they're over-priced.

      • -1

        "Hi Ben, Bear's range is on backorder due to huge popularity - personally I think the Yari II is a better quality knife and you're not paying for Bear's name."

        But yeah I believe the Yari was $109 so i assumed you were saying it was worth more

        Either way the Bear Gryll's knife is great so far in my experience, pity I paid $98 for it

        • +4

          Nothing in that statement suggests that they weren't going to stock it. To me it said that the knife is currently unavailable and they suggested a different product which in their opinion was of better quality than the one you wanted.

        • -1

          True I simply understood saying an $109 knife is better value meaning the other knife would be more expensive etc either way my loss no harm done

  • +3

    Isn't it illegal to walk around with one of these? even if you are not displaying it in public but have it on your person?

      • +2

        Short answer for the lazy:

        Generally illegal unless you have a good reason to be carrying it (ie chef going to work)

        I used to carry a pocket knife with me and whenever police asked about it (only twice) I'd say it was to peel apples and oranges (truth). Warm smile and you're through. A lot of it is to the disgression of the cop asking. If you're a dodgey looking meth head, they probably wouldn't believe you.

        • +2

          Yes because chefs take knives to work with them rather than having knives stores in the kitchen.

          It's not even a knife made for chefs is it?

          And what's up with that website?

          Q: If I am under 18, can I buy a plastic knife?
          A: No. If you are under 18, you cannot buy any knife.

          Sorry kids, you can't buy plastic knives for your tea parties. You can still get plastic forks and spoons though.

        • I'm from NSW.. guessing we've got basically the same rules as VIC.. but what exactly constitutes "carrying" it?
          I was thinking this would be a good knife to keep in the box of stuff in the boot (with the tarp, street directory, etc).. What if the cops pull me up and search the car, would that get me in strife?

        • Probably.

        • +2

          What if the cops pull me up and search the car, would that get me in strife?

          I would assume no, considering it is not illegal to carry a knife in your fishing box. As mentioned above though, it is very much up to the officers discretion. If you have a legitimate reason for having the knife where they find it, then there shouldn't be any issues.

          Edit: I personally like this one - http://www.sapolice.sa.gov.au/sapol/services/firearms_weapon…

          For example, it is highly unlikely that a person would have a lawful excuse for having a fishing knife in a nightclub at 2 am.

        • +3

          Yes because chefs take knives to work with them rather than having knives stores in the kitchen.

          Being a chef is like being a trades person. You buy your own knives and take them to work with you just like a trades person buys their own tools and takes them to work.

          I was thinking this would be a good knife to keep in the box of stuff in the boot (with the tarp, street directory, etc).. What if the cops pull me up and search the car, would that get me in strife?

          If you have it in a box which is in your boot with other emergency supplies/tools and a police officer found it then i think it would be very unlikely that you would be punished for it.

          It would be easy for the police officer to see that it is in your car for a legitimate reason and it is stored in a place where it is difficult for you to quickly grab it and use against someone.

          If you were to have your car searched make sure you tell the officer before he does the search as they do not like funding surprise/hidden weapons.

          I would not keep it in your glove box or anywhere else which is not the boot of your car.

          But unless you have given the police a valid reason to need to search your car then you do not have much to worry about.

      • Whats your point? Its a fixed blade hunting/survival knife. It's not even practical to carry around in public so why anyone would try to is beyond me. Having said that I'm sure the only place bear grylls uses it is in his hotel room.

  • +2

    after walking 25km across a scorching desert, Bear reaches a bar and walks in, goes up to the barman and says
    "I've just walked 25km across the desert to get here, what have you got to drink?"
    Barman "You're taking the piss out of me, matey, no one can last that long out there"
    Bear "Fine, i'll take a pint of piss and a bag of chips"

    too dry?

  • +1

    Nice knife, great features and seems a good price. Damn I love that Grylls show.

    If you're into the outdoors and have never learned to use a firesteel (or make your own tindercloth etc) you're in for a treat.

    OP: How many strikes is the firesteel good for, and do you carry replacements for this knife?

    • -2

      twenty five.

      about 50 if you only do half strikes.

      dude, seriously?

      • +2

        Um, yeah, seriously. If I was telling a joke I would've began "Two trolls log into a forum…".

        You can purchase firesteels for camping/hiking etc that are good for thousands of strikes. Some of the smaller ones built into multi-tools etc do significantly less. If you purchase a knife with a built-in firesteel two obvious questions would be "how long will this function last?", and "after that, can I get a replacement part?".

        I looked on the site and couldn't find the answer to these questions. I doubt the answer is 25-50, so if you're just bein a dick, well done: you win the internet.

        • Yeah I got a mad stand-alone firesteel thats good for ~1000 strikes.
          Only used about 10 times, but it does the job nicely each time.

          Matches to the heck

    How can this knife help me drink my own urine?

      Bloody good question!

    • Have someone leap out at you brandishing the knife, when you least expect it.

      That should help with production, at least.

    Was anyone else's first thought "Doesn't Gerber make baby food?"

    Does this cut through sins better than a regular knife?

      Each one is individually blessed, hand-dipped in holy water and anointed with rare oils.. so no then ;-)

  • this vs. ka-bar?

    • +1

      Ask yourself if you want a knife made by a wannabe survivalist who will get you to drink piss and then killed or by a experienced knife designer who isn't trying to cash in on fame.

      • I dunno gr, a bit of homework says as knife makers through every major conflict in the last 60 years, Gerber's not here to tease the spiders.

        Still, being being the pale rider, collector of souls, I guess you know your stuff…

    Can this cut the tension? Particulary if my wife catches me drinking my urine… again. :-/

  • Got mine the other day.. now today I'm browsing Amazon for some of those FREE! ebooks, and up pops an ad for this EXACT SAME KNIFE for ONLY $48.20 http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-31-000751-Survival-Ultimate-Ser…

    Admittedly, they don't ship to my address, but still.. could have saved $20.80.. :|

    • Admittedly, they don't ship to my address, but still.. could have saved $20.80.. :|

      No you couldn't have.

      Any shipping to get it from America to you would have negated any savings.
