What is the difference of this knife (~36$) and the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Fixed Blade Knife (~45$)? Both come with sheath, sharpener, fire-starter, whistle, pommel, 10" blade, so...?

No difference from the specs but only in price and name. There maybe an additional discount for the survival knife. (Not an expert in knives...just like the BG line for quality and price.)

Well, these two knives are basically the same. They have slightly different designs (in regards to the grip). But overall, their functionality is the exact same. I would go with the cheaper priced knife. This knife was once thirty dollars. Now that they are popular (and in my opinion a must have for anyone!!), they have gone wayyy up in price. This knife is a must for your pack, vehicle and as a gift for any loved one.

If you go back to Amazon to the site ad for your product & click on the picture it will bring up an information box that should answer you questions. The product I purchased was a similar Gerber (22-01463) & I can highly recommend it! That particular knife goes with me camping & is kept in my Go Bag. Hope this helps. Amazon is an excellent company to do business with. If for any reason you're not happy with your purchase, they take returns. Be safe out there. Alan

Hi, I thought there was only the one made, I have searched to see if any others and I can't locate another model. The one the was shipped to me is authentic and a great tool and very versatile for its compact size. Haven't spent enough time with it to see its durability, but if it's like all the other gerber gear I have, I'm sure it will take a beating. Thank out for your question, if anything I can do, feel free. Regards, ken

The ones [I've owned two,blade snapped on one,my fault] I purchased came with sheaths.The one I use every day is a Buck 102.Used to carry the Buck Fold-ups,since high school,But found In recent years that one of your hands while working is holding something usually,making the straight blade easier.Just pop the snap and it's ready.They are good knifes for everyday work.compared locally,Amazon is less exspensive.More answers then you was asking,but thought it wouldn't hurt to know.

I found that Ka-Bar knife is not as sharp as Gerber. Regardless of where they made, if the quality of the product don't deliver then you lose customers. I don't mind to pay a little extra more if the product uphold the quality.

I had the ZDP version for about a year and a half. Just traded it to a friend and bought the VG-10 version. I can keep my kitchen VG-10 knives sharp with an Arkansas stone and a strop. Had to send the old Dragonfly back to Spyderco for sharpening. That's free with a $5 shipping charge, which is a great deal. Still, I prefer to be able to sharpen my own knives.

So I'm a stickler for holding onto receipts and warranties, and I have looked through everything and cannot find either!! I did find the box it was shipped in and the box the knive came in and they say nothing. The knive also comes in an "Altoid" style tin and that says: CRKT RITTER RSK Mk5 on the top, and on the bottom says: Model 2380 RSK Mk5. I doubt that is very helpful, maybe you could contact them directly @ crkt.com and ask them to clarify. Sorry I couldn't answer that for you. It is a great little knife. I got it specifically because it fits in an Altoids tin for my emergency kit. Way better than a pocket knife and you can wrap the handle with paracord for some grip. Good luck

I'm sorry I'm not sure how to answer that question as this is my first gerber knife. It has the "G" symbol but I don't know if that is for Gerber or Bear Gylis (Spelling). The knife is nice but to be honest I'm not too impressed with the overall quality. I noticed after cutting up some cardboard boxes that the seraded teeth are folded back slightly like the metal isn't a very strong quality. I do like how light the knife is and the safety mechanism to keep the knife closed or open depending on the position it is in when the safety is engaged.

Not sure...there are two destinct sizes though - the Seal Pup is obviously the smaller fixed blade. Most models come with a variety of carriers...thus the wide variety in price. I have a basic one with a black nylon molle sheath...it's a good buy.

Prices on Amazon fluctuate, I got it for 40 shipped. I have seen it priced at $26, but this is without the nice leather sheath.

When I bought mine it did come with a sheath and extra blades , I also ordered 6 extra packs of blades that'll last me for a good while. I highly recommend the knife but make sure you have a small pair of needle nose pliers to make blade changing safe. I use my leather man tool works great.

"Better" is not the right question-different knife, different purpose. The V-42 has a remarkable war record. The design itself placed fear in the enemy. The Gerber Mark 2 to a lesser degree. Read the history. Hopefully none of us will have to use them for what they were intended. Rather, the question to ask yourself is, "What is the task the knife is to accomplish?" Function dictates design, resulting in beauty. Buy both knives and enjoy them both for what they are as individual expressions of lethal intent.

I own the F1 and am absolutely pleased with it. The knife is very sharp and has consistently stayed that way. The only thing I dlnt like about it, is that it is so light that you cant chop with it. I do a lot of bushcraft work so this kind of a downside. Now on that note the S1 is a little bit heavier and longer, so it might be better at chopping. But I dont have any personal experience with the S1. But I believe no matter which you get, both will serve you well. Now as far as a sheath goes that depends on what you want. The zytel is nice in the fact that its maintenance free. But the blade isnt a snug fit so it rattles a little bit. The leather obviously wouldnt have the rattling problem. But leather needs to be cared for. Hope that helped you decide. Good luck. Both will serve you well.

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

I'm not sure as I do not own a becker bk9, this is a knife where the sheath hold a fire starter n a carbide sharpener and the end of the knife handle is design to be use as a pummel. I think becker bk9 the knife blade is slightly larger than the bear grylls knife. That's all I can tell you.

I don't remember exactly, it was too small for my taste, I'm more of a right on the boundaries of what's legal to carry in public, blade length wise. But I think it was like 2 or 2 1/2 inches. It just felt like a key chain knife in my hands, so I sent it back. It was even awkward to flip out the blade with the thumb knob there was so little handle to hold on to. Gerber is a really high quality blade company though, there is another pocket knife that looks kinda like that which is also made by Gerber on Amazon that I ended up getting and has a longer blade and handle that I carry everywhere it's a great durable knife.

The Mora is the superior product in my book. Maybe 1984 Gerbers would be better, but these Morakniv Bowie style is light weight and extremely sharp. I touched the tip by mistake and it instantly made a scalpel sharp little cut. Go to Mora's web site and review the metals they use. Staying in Sweden, we will see that the metal provider is like hundreds of years, same address type business. So, where are Gerbers made and from what metals? Also, get the 8 inch blade. It is a very nice knife.
