Designed with military, tactical, and survival applications in mind, the recently released Gerber StrongArm is a no-frills blade with a versatile sheath mounting system.
I gave it a test in the woods and while camping over the past month and found it to be (as the name says) strong, with a comfortable handle and a useful, all-around blade. It’s additionally available in fine-edge and serrated (tested) models.
The Gear: Gerber StrongArm $86
Available: Now.
StrongArm First impressions
Pick this knife up and you will feel it’s made for business. The diamond textured, rubberized handle is secure in the hand even when wet, and the blade is a simple and versatile drop-point with a bit of serration near the handle. Just stick it in your sheath and head into the woods, nothing to worry about here.
Who’s It For: People looking for a lot of bang for their buck in a made-in-USA survival knife.
