Gerber Freeman Fixed Blade S30V from Cabelas

My review of the Gerber Freeman Fixed Blade. This is the limited edition model available only from Cabelas, it has a black blade of s30v steel and cocobolo handles. Though it looks nice, this is actually a fully functional small hunting and outdoor utility knife, it is razor sharp with a strong drop point and handy size.

Great review as usual. Since you have the Gerber Freeman and the Benchmade Rant drop point. I would like to know which one you prefer? There is s good price difference. It seems both knives are similar in use to some degree. I wonder which handle is more functional. I really like cocobolo wood, but is the Benchmade rubber style handle a bit more grippy?

Great work on the reviews. The only problem is that everytime I see one your reviews I end up spending more money.

@mikedifeo - I would pick this Freeman for general outdoor stuff. The steel is very good. But I would pick the Benchmade Rant if any sort of weapon use might be needed, against animals or whatnot.

I use this knife for everything, always on my belt. I have field dressed a few deer and moose already, it worked excellent. I am a huge fan of the s30v steel my spyderco folder uses the same. great edge retention. I spend a lot of time in the bush and this a great belt knife.

@TheBowhunterinNB - I'm glad to hear this knife has held up and served you well, thanks for the report from the field, Bowhunter!

XLNT Video. Good point on the increase in value. So many people buy the junk china stuff that won't be worth a dime. I have knives from the 70's and 80's that were originally 25 dollars now worth well into the 2-3 hundred dollar range.

@GforceDown Yeah totally, I always try to get the more limited and high quality editions of a knife, budget permitting.

@DavidML777 Its better for hunting than outdoor the blade is not thick enough ...

I finally got this one off my wishlist. I have the regular cocobolo scales. I think Ill do a knife collection video update. You should do one too:)

I hate using s30v or 154cm as a outdoors knife. It chips easy and when it does. It is hard to sharpen.

@Fretfeeler True, very true.
