It's unfortunate that I have to make this video but I have had several reports from different sources in regards to critical flaws in the Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife. The photo seen here: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Bearknife025.jpg
was first brought to my attention from a subscriber. I have also received similar images from follow gear reviewers. This knife is being market as the "Ultimate" knife and I think it is far from that. I welcome all reviews and critiques in regards to this knife because we here at E2E believe in objective and specific reviews. This is not to bash Bear Grylls or Gerber, just bring attention to the public a flaw in a very popular piece of equipment. Please leave you're comments and concerns, all are welcome.

Dear Sir,

I just made a purchase and am wondering do the latest models wear the black handles? The ones I see in the "fail" videos have some orange on the handle. Just wondering if I made a great purchase or great pain to return experience.... Thanks for all your informative material you shared.

this guy is bullshit. he is paying paid by other knife makers to start this rumor. the bear gryllis knife is outselling those other knives. thats the real problem.

@fearthenightraids , Sir, I have never been paid a cent from any company in reference to any product. All equipment given to us by companies to do test and reviews is given away to YouTube subscribers like yourself. We conduct fair and objective reviews and test of outdoor related gear, teach survival and k9 related training, and conduct event coverage and industry interviews. This video is over a year old and content in reference to this topic has been updated. Be safe,

@fearthenightraids , Gerber admitted to the problem and thanked us for bringing it to their attention. Watch the other video were I interview them at Shot Show 2011 in reference to this problem. They also stated the fixed it. Please check your facts before jumping to conclusions. Take care and be safe,

- Adam

Dear Sir,

The only description is the picture which Amazon has changed to the orange tang and the following 31-000751 Bear Grylls

Survival Series Ultimate Knife. No model name is mentioned. Am I in a return situation

Thank you for such a rapid response!!

[Skye0814]

Thanks for all of the great product reviews, big time help on lots of purchases!

[Alex117martknez]

It depends how well you take care of the knife

[pspkillerpsp]

gerber have LIFETIME guarantee .... don't buy fucking chinese replica bro!!!! you save some money but you risk your live in critical survival situation....lol

[EstouDeToa]

@fearthenightraids use the knife. It's CRAP. I surely don't want something this fragile as a survival knife, meaning my life might depend on it. most of Bear Grylls' endorsed products are crap, as well.

Bear Grylls offers a LIFETIME guarantee on his knives and products!!! I suggest you KEEP all packing and proof of purchase and then Bear Grylls or Gerber have no right to refuse refund or return. this guarantee is stated on the package of all Bear Grylls products!
