Comments about Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife:
I bought this knife because I got tired of carrying around a big benchmade tactical folder as an everyday carry knife. First off, for the money this is not a terrible knife as it is lightweight and despite that it seems fairly sturdy. having said that I would not take this out in to the wilderness as my only knife. It's light enough to be carried as a back up and you won't even notice it.
I like keeping my knives razor sharp and I reprofile all my knives to provide maximum edge retention while still being able to shave with. This knife is made of gerber mystery steel and it shows that it is not a high quality steel as the edge is dull out of the packaging and has to be resharpened after every use.
the other problem I encountered is that it is built like an old pocket knife with only a nail insert which makes opening this thing a two handed task. I wouldn't return this because for its intended purpose it does quite well but it's just not a micro tech or cold steel workhorse, so know what your getting in to.

Comments about Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife:
I agree with the previous reviewer, this isn't a benchmade, and it's probably not that durable because the handle is plastic. But it's half the weight of my benchmade and thinner, and I have't seen it dull quickly with casual everyday use. Much easier to carry everyday, who cares if you lose it at the price. So I give it a 5 because of weight and price.
