The Bear Grylls Knife, can you believe this one? If you think this is stupid, look at the price as well. I got to give Bear Credit, he's going to get every last thing out of this gravy train.

Bear Knife

For that kind of money ($698 USD) there should be more info like the hardness and I never heard of RWL steel. Anyone know this steel?
Maybe there are a lot of fans of Bear's that will buy it.

I know it's crazy money for that but there will be tons of fans that will buy that.

$700 is very pricey and from the details on the website it is being produced as a limited edition by a very good custom UK based knife maker. The knives look top notch and I suspect that you can pay the same amount for a limited edition knife produced by the likes of Pat Crawford and many many others in the US. The 'bear' moniker may put some off some for those who know better. High priced jewelery for stock exchange executives Super Army Soldier (SAS) wannabes. It would appear there is roughly a $300 premium for the 'bear' moniker

I thing that guy has spent to long above 10,000 feet and has altitude sickness

Wait a minute... Isn't he using a gerber gator?

Haha, yea. Seems like you can buy the same basic knife out of his "Raven series" for half the price.




He has used a bit of everything. Saks, Gerbers, dive knives, ect.

By the way, there is also a Bear Grylls watch if anyone is interested.

A Gerber Gator on one show, A swiss army knife on one show (the one where he made snow shoes, and cut himselfe) A Onterio USN divers knife on one show. The boy has lots of knifes.

He used some knife with a gut hook on his Everglades show.

On a related issue, anyone know what kind of canteen he uses and what he uses for his flint? I notice he always has his canteen crossed on his back yet it never sways.

An on a related to the related issue, I would sure like to know what his camera crew thinks about following him. There must be some outtakes somewhere!

The knife in the Everglades episode looks like it might be a Buck Zipper Model 691BK.The canteen seems to be lashed on with some sort of cord sling of his own design. It not only goes over his shoulder, but it also ties around his waist. I must admit, that the canteen rig looks kinda cool.
