Product Description
Gerber has been making survival knives for the US Military since 1968. The Strong-arm Fixed Blade carries on our legacy of tough-as-hell fixed blade knives for combat and survival applications. With a sheath that can be mounted in a variety of ways, this knife offers reliable use whether on-duty or off. Featuring a fine edge, full tang 420HC blade with black ceramic coating, the Strong-arm was designed around the fundamentals of military survival training. Obtain a solid grip on the knife in all conditions with its diamond-texture rubberized handle. The striking pommel positioned at the base of the handle functions to break through hard surfaces for effective rescue operations, and ceramic coating on the blade offers subtle use through low visual profile, as well as preventing corrosion for long life of the blade. The Strong Arm's modular sheath system is as important as the knife itself. With the sheath's snap-together components, the operator can mount the knife vertically on MOLLE, horizontally on a standard 1.75" tactical belt, or in a traditional drop-leg belt mount fashion. The Strong-arm Fixed Blade is designed and built in Portland, Oregon.

What truly stands out is the brilliant design. From the ergonomic handle to the razor-sharp blade, every aspect has been meticulously crafted for optimal functionality and comfort.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a versatile and high-quality knife, look no further than the Gerber Gear Strongarm. It's a tool you can trust in any situation.
Will last a life time. Will pass it down to my grandson.
It's a full tang with a glass breaking pommel that's made in USA. The grip has the room needed for large hands and the texture needed to stay glued to the hand even when wet or the user's hand is weak and fatigued. The .190" thick sabre grind/clip point blade is robust all the way to the tip so it has strength without the weight penalty of a quarter inch thick blade. The spine is 90° for striking ferro rods right out of the box and needs no modifying with a file. It is in the easily manageable 5" class length (4.8"), which strikes the right balance for survival/utility without being unwieldy like my full size 7" Kabar.
The ambidextrous sheath has mounting options for miles: belt mount, drop-leg belt mount, molle mount, inverted molle mount (it's a very secure sheath) and finally, scout style. It also comes in a coyote brown option which is something I required. To top it all off, the fasteners are snaps! None of that noisy velcro rubbish that will get clogged and fail when wet. They really did their homework on this one, well done Gerber
And miracle of miracles! Gerber has suspended their inexplicable and ODD OBSESSION with offering serrated-only edges by actually offering this one in a fine edge. Yes, I was literally shocked to see Gerber actually LISTENING to their potential customers for a change.
-Side note on serrated edges: They are a total PITA, and CANNOT be field sharpened without a dedicated tapered diamond rod. Who needs that? This is one of the obvious reasons they are avoided by many like the plague. Yes, serrations are great for starting cuts through fibrous materials like rope and seatbelts, BUT this fine edge actually goes through that stuff like butter AND I can sharpen it with a well chosen rock easily found in the field in two minutes if I ever needed to. Furthermore, I use a somewhat coarse grit sharpener that leaves micro-serrations and don't "polish" my fine edges anyway, so I always avoid serrations as they would add NOTHING in the way of utility for me. BTW, the knife came sharp right out of the box, and I mean RAZOR sharp. Nothing but good to report here.
So are there any cons among all these pros? Well, for what you get for only fifty bucks, I'd really be nit-picking, but since this is a review, I'll nit-pick..
-The polymer sheath, as great as it is designed, seems to be made of a rather brittle type of polymer that may not be very forgiving under stress once exposed to extremely cold temps. Only time will tell, but I'd hate to have this thing snap on me at the worst possible moment.
- The 420HC steel is considered a low grade stainless and thus a potential "con" for some so that's why I'm listing it. But honestly, if this point has you on the fence, don't worry about it because Gerber has heat treated the steel to really take plenty of abuse in stride. If in doubt, go on YouTube and watch it go through a thing called, "the gauntlet". The gauntlet is basically a bunch of knife guys who, over the course of months, passed around a single Strongarm and documented themselves abusing the hell out of it in rather creative ways.They broke windows and bricks, bashed it through doors, hammered it through copper pipe, cut all kinds of things with it.. including wood. Pried pallets apart, used it like a can opener to cut open the steel lid of a 55 gallon drum, etc,.. When it finally returned to the guy who first put it through its paces, it was 100% intact and functional showing only "character wear", which actually made it look better than it did when it was brand new lol. I kinda laughed when I watched the whole series and afterwards immediately came to Amazon to make the purchase. So take the dive, you won't regret it.
This knife is a great size and weight - not too big and not too small. Works well for just about everything. The options for mounting the sheath are excellent as well. A++ Gerber! Made in the USA!
