Bear Grylls Series Thread

Hi, I'm just wondering how everyone likes the Bear Grylls series from Gerber.
You can also list your favourites and talk about them.
Thanks!

I have a couple of pieces and they really aren't bad. The multitools are identical to the regular line versions only with a rubberized grip which is a good thing. The knives seem to be pretty good as well. I have a couple and they are pretty nice, although the ones I have are the lower end ones.

I have given a few away and I've had no worries that they will fail anyone.

Why buy a regular Gerber MT, when you can get exactly the same one with Bear's initials on it for twice the cost?   :)

I've got the Bear Grylls Survival Tool Pack. I think it's actually pretty decent. I carry it in a backpack in my car.

I've played around with the Bear Grylls Mini Multi Tool, and like it as well. But then, I like the Clutch/Mini-Suspension/etc. line. This is one of the rare cases where the price on this thing dropped so far that if you can find it, it's a pretty excellent deal. You can usually find them for under $15 easily, and i think they're worth that.

Hi, if you check the Gerber 2014 catalogue, they have shown new BG items coming out next year, including new folding knives and more useless stuff.
