  • I had so much fun cutting up my Gerber Strongarm Black with a Sawzall to make a Custom knife. My Gerber Strongarm Coyote has been my EDC Knife of choice during knife testing. It is hands down the best edc knife when it comes to fixed blades. It's one of my favorite EDC tools. I have big plans for this Custom Gerber Strongarm. I've been doing a Gerber strongarm durability test. This gerber strongarm test has been fun! So, Enjoy this Strongarm torture test, starring my Leatherman Surge, my Gerber Dual Force, my Akubra territory and gerber gear all in this Gerber strongarm abuse review.
    Check out the Facebook group! groups/32146... If we make 500 on TH-cam and Facebook we'll do another GAW!
    Don't forget we have patches for sale still!

    Interesting.
    People don't have to worry about that handle developing play or loosen up.
    Tough cookie for sure.
    And the rubber overmold makes it nice and grippy. No slick G10 problems there.

      Yeah, this handle isn't going anywhere. I have abused these knives and have no issues at all.

      Good to hear.
      I saw some other tests also. From Joe X, destruction.
      It is totally amazing what that knife can withstand.
      Never had one. But will soon get a couple.
      Very very nice.
      I also like the rubber type of handles.
      G10 and micarta are a bit too slick for my taste. I know they are liked by many.
      Give me a Mora Bushcraft Black handle. The Gerber Strongarm looks like a good one for me also.
      No need for huge blades either. For chopping a machete or hachet will do the job better than, most, big knives anyway.

      Also shows that a full width tang is far from needed in a hard use knife.
      No cold (winter) or hot (summer, desert) steel tang in the hand.

    I got one pot these knives coming. Hopefully they are still as tough as they say they have been. By the way; must be nice to remember you have a multitool on your belt, I do too, but frequently forget I do, than feel stupid when I ask someone something and they say ‘don’t you have Pliers/can opener etc on your belt?’ Lol

      Knock yourself out Bro. If you got the skill to make your own or buy a more expensive knife that is just as good as this one do it. I paid $30 for my Prodigy. The drill bit to make your first hole will cost more than that. 🙂

      @@MaddawgEDC Excellent, thanks. I have a hat very similar to that only it's made by Levine Hat Co. in St. Louis and it's all heavy leather. I got the Barcelona straw sun hat from American Hat Makers last year an love it. Again, it's like the shape of yours but in stiff sturdy white straw. I prefer the "Western Style" hats where the brim is flat on the sides and back and the front is turned down over the traditional cowboy hat both sides turned up. Another good one is the Stetson Gun Club.
