My review of the Gerber Silver Trident Knife. It is a well made tactical knife with LIMITED survival capabilities. There are several other knives I would go to first for a survival/camping knife. However, for those on active duty this might be just the ticket. In this video I go over the features of this knife.
Knife Specs:
- Double Edge Clip Point Blade
- Hytrel Handle
- 154 C Stainless Steel Blade
- 6.18" Blade Length
- 11.22" Overall Length
- 17.4 oz Overall Weight
- Ballistic Nylon Sheath
SKILLET!!

@secusurv It's not the only exception.Like other knife makers Gerber does make their lower end knives in China.Benchmade,Spyderco,etc. all do.The Silver Trident is a higher end blade like the LHR and the LMF 2 which isn't really high end as far as price,but is an awesome blade. All their auto's are American made.

The back of the sheath is for MOLLE attachment. Also, what other sheath besides LMF and LHR will holdthe knife upside don without the strap attach?

You say it is the first Survival knife you ever bought.... Then you say you wouldn't batton with it, Have you ever? By the way, it is a full tang knife. It was sold as a tactical knife not survival. but If I am in a tactical situation, I would call that SURVIVAL!
As far as opening the MRE's..... USE YOUR TEETH.

gerber knives are generally made in china. this was made in the usa, but this is really the only exception.

I have one of these and I like it. It seems to be a model by Gerber that should have been awesome but didn't catch on. It was designed by SEAL's, awesome "tacky" handle and great steel. You can get one for a great low price; they were originally going to sell for about $300+ but you can pick one up in the $100-$200 range.

Yeah, definitely a combat knife. Not a survival knife. I'm not sure how this compares to the Gerber LHR as a combat knife.
I believe it is full tang. The butt cap is isolated from the tang to reduce vibration and stress on the blade when performing pounding or hammering tasks.
