It's not the sort of thing I would use. I'm not a fan of half serated/half standard grind knives anyway. The handle shape and finger guard wouldn't suit me at all, Gerber have a bit of bad Rep for their steel quality and overall I just don't like the look of it. But, it's horses for courses and someone else may like it.

they're $45

I'm not one of those knife geeks, but that one looks a bit cheap and gimmicky to be a proper usable 'survival' knife.  the reviews aren't great either.

There was a view done on that knife though I can't remember on what site. The guy who did it broke the handle quite easily. It is horses for courses as cg has said it all depends on what u want it for.

Would go for the BearGrylls knife apart from the fact that it has BG imprinted on the side of it and I would not promote that idiot ever.

I think you're judging him by his badly edited TV programmes - and maybe the bad press he got a while back.  In his books he gets to express himself for more than 25 seconds at a time and I think he comes across much more thoughtful and sensible.
