Gerber Strongarm
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- This lot get me through about 90% of them before needing any other tools.
- Love it as well
- I have one. It is a great knife. I bought it after getting an LMF II because it is so similar in a smaller package.
- A beast of a knife. Diggit.
- I love this knife.
Cons
- Good knife, but too expensive for 420 steel.
- It cuts quite poorly because of the thick grind, but it is very durable for the same reason
- Too annoying to try to conceal it and carry it around if you want to be a tool and carry a combat knife in the burbs or w/e, unless you have a big jacket.
- Also the Gerber Strongarm, that thing is a tank. Overpriced for the materials IMO but still a solid knife.

Good knife, but too expensive for 420 steel.
I have it for around 10 years and it gets a lot of use. ... it lost some of the black coating but the edge is still there and the handle is great to use even when your hands are soaked. My knife was diving in sea and rivers, skydiving halo and lalo, it was crawling through the mud with me.

Good indestructible general use knife for a soldier. Suboptimal for camping given the other options out there, but it’s at least tough and the right size.
Too annoying to try to conceal it and carry it around if you want to be a tool and carry a combat knife in the burbs or w/e, unless you have a big jacket.
