9 functions total, with 6 function multi-tool that mounts to back to keep fork elevated
Serrated package opener

Bottle opener
Pry bar

The included multi-tool is removable and held in place by a rubber plug.

This is a very nice and light eating tool to pack away on a camping trip. If you don't need a pair of thongs, this must might be the ticket.

Nice write-ups! :2tu: I believe there will be a Prybrid, or maybe two, in my future.

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

Episode 88 - Gerber Ultimate Knife.

What happens when the Bear Grylls merchandizing deal evaporates, well you continue a few set pieces. This is the Gerber Ultimate Knife.

Rinse the orange off and bring in the green.

Note the removal of the survival patch that showed some useful signaling things that was on the back of the BG Ultimate knife. Also note you don't get the BG survial guide either.

20240709_063648 by Chako, on Flickr

At least you still get the same fire steel and diamon honing plate hidden inside of the sheath.

20240709_063720 by Chako, on Flickr

Still do not like that the fire steel is still pointing downwards.

20240709_063805 by Chako, on Flickr

The Gerber Ultimate knife features:

Firestriker + firestriking edge
Hammer pommel
Ergonomic rubber grip
Emergency whistle
Sharpening stone

I sort of like the BG livery better, along with the mini survival guide and signaling patch over this model for the same price. I also find it interesting that the Ultimate Pro knife which came out after this model, that fixed a few things, is no longer on offer.

I've actually had great luck with the BG Ultimate Knife on camping trips.  It's a good all around knife.  Chako, looking great and nice to see more of your collection!

Think of a SAK hook but only larger.

This is an interesting tool with one major failing, or at least for me. The hook is wrapped around a shaft that does such a good job of locking it in place that I find it very hard to release the hook from its storage spot.

I think it is over priced for what you get.
