I like the BG related items. Love the colours, grippy textures, etc.

You can say I am a fan.

I have to admit I've not come across the compact fixed blade before, I'm thinking it's new.  I don't know if you know that the blade and screwdrivers on the pocket tool are non-locking apparently, though I've not actually held one myself.  Might make a difference to you.

Thanks, I did not notice that, but the blade is one-hand and that give an extra point compared with SAK,

I just received the BG ultimate knife and is great, hope its performace also good.

For BG serie I have follow...

1.- BG Ultimate knife
2.- BG Survival scout folder knife
3.- BG Compact scout small folder knife
4.- BG compact multitool
5.- BG survival tool (just the multitool)

I have the scout folder and i like it a lot, here are the specs

Overall length: 7.3 inches
Closed length: 4 inches
Blade length: 3.3 inches
Lockback blade release
Weight: 2.4 oz

sorry to say i have seen the handle fail on the fixed blade

I also head about the problem on the pommel, but Gerber fix it rigth away since the beginning and my knife is from recently production, so hope no problem.
Thanks

This is probably a little late but here it comes anyway.
I got the BG pocket tool a while back and was not happy with it.
It was impossible to open the tools on it. The blade opened fairly easily, but I had to use my SAK to break open the other tools on it. I tried to oil it up, but it did'nt help much.
I really liked the consept of a small onehand opening pocket knife with a good phillips that opens on the end, but the result was disapointing. (It might be that mine is a faulty one and I was just bad luck)  I would rather get a SAK or one of the leatherman crater models if you want one hand openeing.

I believe its a faulty one, mine works fine, you could exchange it in the store you get it, or you send it to Gerber warranty that has a very good service.

I bought it on ebay. I would probably have to ship it to portland oregon, like they told me to do with my crusial when the flat driver broke. (wich was  sad, because I really loved that Crusial ) The shipping costs would be too much to be worth repairing it. Maybe I will group the two together in one package and send them in for repair. Would be nice to get that Crusial back in order.
