Introducing the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Series gear. This collaboration brings together Gerber’s over 70 years of knife and gear expertise with Bear Grylls’ extensive outdoor survival and adventure experience to create a one-of-a-kind line of knives, tools and gear.

The serrated portion of the knife became deformed after first use and cannot be sharpened with the sharpener that comes with the survival knife. Many consumers complained of the pommel breaking off with little abuse. This was a very common occurrence to those that purchased this knife.
Conclusion
I am huge fan of the show Man vs. Wild and of Bear Grylls. Unfortunately, at this point in time, I cannot recommend buying the Gerber 31-000751 because there were too many consumers that experienced the pummel breaking. A survival knife should be durable and hold up to some serious abuse. There were many consumers that stated the pummel broke on first use with little abuse. This is not what we look for in a survival knife. Although Bear Grylls has been using the Gerber 31-000751 on his show, he hasn’t used it cut down any small trees and I haven’t really seen him abuse it yet.
A few consumers noted that they had contacted Gerber about the pummel issue and Gerber said that they were due to release a better version of the Gerber 31-000751. This is supposed to happen sometime at the end of February early March. If you are seriously considering purchasing the Bear Grylls survival knife, I would wait until May or June to see if Gerber has worked out the pummel
