No, I do not receive any compensation for recommending this knife, or any other knife for that matter. I do think it meets many requirements of a true survival knife.

I have used the one on my Leatherman super tool for hunting and skinning and I just sharpened it with my butchers steel. Normally I would use a skinning knife like the Buck or the Fallkniven PHK series type hunting knife. The Fallkniven will make a great survival knife also because it is made way better than most hunting knives for this purpose.

Here is a knife review I didn’t write about the Gerber Bear Grylls knife. The serrated edge did not hold up to hard use: http://www.survivalcommonsense.com/2011/06/08/bear-grylls-knife-reviewfeed/.
And FYI: One of my hunting buddies swears by the gut hook on his knife, and claims he wouldn’t have a hunting knife without one!

I recently spent 3 days outdoors in Feb of 2011 in 8 degree temps with n tent or sleeping bag, I was testing and using my survival gear and tried several knives. I will tel you that I needed plenty of tall grass for insulation and roof cover and it was an absolute struggle to cut with just a straight blade. The serrated edge went right through it with much more ease. Being cold, wearing gloves and being tired increases your risk of potentially cutting yourself. Now if you have to struggle to make those cuts…..this risk is higher. BTW….the chances of your serrated edge actually dulling in a survival situation is probably about the same as you getting shot because of a shiny knife blade.

A peace of metal sharpened on a rock could be a wonderful survival knife.
