this channels honesty is why I trust and the badass blades but mainly the honest reviews

[mistersmith]

Kershaw would like to thank you for this Gerber review!

[nickbrook]

I've been a 'Gerber man' since graduating infantry recon in 1996 and owning an E-Z Out and numerous multitools since then. I bought a versafix Pro on April 25 2020 and really liked its versatility vs compact lightweight portability.
Then I took a close look down the blade and noticed the grind was lopsided, about 2mm to one side of a central line. I contacted Gerber through their site and was promised follow up which never arrived, my further 3 emails being ignored. I returned the knife to the retailer, keen to swap it but the grind of the other one in stock was also wonky, and with a very rough honing. Two days later the retailer called me to say they'd opened half a dozen more versafixes at their supply warehouse, finding none had a symmetrical grind, and no two were even the same. I wouldn't mind if it was a NZ$40.00 knife, but this one costs NZ$79.00. I will take the offered refund.
Such a shame, its a great concept to hybrid a survival knife with heavy machete/kukri/parang features and it's a quality piece of steel. If only there was some quality supervision of the final machining at Gerber's Chinese factory.

Thank you Aaron for a honest review of a substanard product. I LIKE THE KERSHAW.

[hunterglaspell]

They chose that steel to be soft enough to take shock unlike harder stainless steels. And it’s easy to sharpen in the field. And it also doesn’t rust unlike carbon steel. Just something to note. From a design perspective

[barrybueler]

A few yrs back I got my Ontario kukri in 1095 1/4 inch thick for $50 so $40 for a Chinese made Chinese steel Gerber marked machete no thanx but I do like the sheath😁. Don’t worry I still love you 😘🤪. Personally I like that Sp-8 the best.

[tecnotrog]

Had a camp 10 for a few years now camping, cutting, chopping,and it excels as a machete

[sawdust]

i really like the design and Gerber always kills it with thier sheaths, i just hope they come out with a usa version with better steel and grind.thanks Aaron.

[peter-radiantpipes]

I have several blades I've never really tried. Just got a hatchet and call axe so brought out a parang and a multi as well as some knives. Was surprised just how well the kukri worked. Took a while to find the sweet spot for chopping but was obvious once I got it. I was mostly playing around with new hatchet so in terms of those uses, it was pretty good as versatile blade. Featuring was great too.

[dutchvanderbilt]

I actually have a Gerber versafix and I actually really like it. I've used it for cutting brush and batoning and I have no issues with it. I will concede that it does chew up your batoning stick and heaven forbid you get it stuck in a piece of knotted wood. But honestly I love it and have no complaints about it.

[johnnywishbone]

I bought a Gerber just as a hike companion. I live in a country with strict gun laws. I like it for what it is. A hatchet sized knife.

[ArcticGator]

My money is on the sp8 all day, an alternative is the ontario sp5 if you want a medium weight chopper that can do double duty as a machete.

[jerryjohnsonii]

Awesome review Aaron. I'm a huge Kershaw fan, an i would go with the Kershaw too.

[offthecouch]

Thank you for saving me money lol gotta get something else. Also thank you for showing why it isn't top tier and telling at the same time. Got a new sub outa me for sure

[timasuna]

The Gerber's actually a nice piece of kit, after you give it a complete regrind. Put a scandivex on it and now works like a light weight champ

[danmuchoney]

Another great and very intelligent review. Your channel is loaded with valuable info. Keep going. You outclass the other sad channels.

[michaelmcbride]

just got my gerber versafix pro! Thanks GT

[gulgathraxa]

Great vid, but I have one issue with it - No talk about the sheath?

[paulsecrest]

Bought one yesterday at Menard's for 30 bucks. Be ready to sharpen it. Bought it more as a camp cleaver . I usually carry a fixed blade my ka bar 1205 a estwing camp hatchet or as. And a folder at camp. Not bad for light work. If I shop I use a ax or hatchet. Not horrible for 30 bucks. If you want a good machete tromatina or a condor. I also collect blades so it will get put into the collection. I think it feels good in the hand. Maybe better as a weapon.

[Fanofskitscape]

Great video. Exactly what I needed to see
