Gerber Gear Ultimate Knife, Tactical Knife with Fire Starter, Sharpener, and Knife Sheath, 4.75” Blade (31-003941)

Other than the obvious good quality, it has a handy fire starter and sharpener built in. It shows Gerber's military heritage with a hard sheath which locks the blade securely but can be drawn silently and effortlessly with one hand. I'll never need to sneak up and kill a man... but with this knife I could. I'll never be without a match... but with this knife I don't need one.

This is a reasonably priced knife for everyday outdoor carry, kit, or bug-out bag. The knife is sharp out of the package and the sheath appears surprisingly well built. This piece feels nice in your hand and the sheath seems good and of nice quality with what appears to be high quality stitching as well. As you can see in my photos I have made a few personal modifications like adding a leather dangler so the knife rides lower and hopefully provides some strength and longevity to the sheath strap. Another reason is the ability to add it to your belt or molle on your bag. The paracord is nicely placed and gives additional cordage for a leg tie or any other needs. Like others the ferro rod rides upside down but is FIRMLY secure to the sheath with a gasket seal and requires some effort to deploy it. Keep in mind that the ferro rod is a last resort so you should not have to remove it constantly if as always you carry matches or a lighter. I am very confident that it will stay in place with minimal risk of coming out or becoming lost. I would by this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cost effective outdoor, kit, or bug-out-bag knife.

Love this knife, I keep it in my car when on a camping trip. It’s got a few handy things like knife sharpener, whistle for attracting attention & flint for fire starting are the handy things for me.

Good quality knife with extra features. I researched before this purchase and this is a great value for the money. The blade is sharp, full tang. The sharpening stone is conveniently integrated in the sheath, the whistle is loud, and the ferrous rod (fire starter) gives a robust spark.

The Gerber Ultimate Survival Knife feels solid and reliable from the moment you hold it. The blade is sharp and holds its edge well, and the grip feels secure even when wet. I really like the added fire starter and whistle — perfect for camping or emergencies. Overall, a tough and well-balanced knife that’s built to last — really good quality gear.
