Bear Grylls Knife - A Cut Above The Competition
The Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro is the newest version of the Bear Grylls Gerber knife collection. The knife is a complete redesign from the original. They basically went back to the drawing boards to make a seriously nice knife. Despite the original Bear Grylls knife being the best selling knife in the world, it had its fair share of critics who bashed the blade for its sub-par steel, blade serrations, and that it was not a true full tang blade. Gerber and Bear took that criticism as fuel for the fire. The new Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro has awesome steel, using 9cr19Mov which is a Chinese version of 440C. This steel is strong, non corrosive and will hone and retain a razor sharp edge. Very high quality. The next item that they addressed was the tang. The PRO has a fully exposed tang down to the pummel and has slab handles. The knife blade actually reminds me of of the SOG Seal Team Elite.. Lastly the improved on the lanyard whistle as they made it loader and easier to use....
