The knife kindly looks like a Falkniven F1...not exactly of course but a little bit. Wait a minute! Is that Bear's signature on the blade? With RWL (WTHIT?!) steel? I've gotta have one!

the canteen is a NATO water bottle you can find out more about it at www.bestglide.com

No one seems to know about the steel in the other forums I've seen it in. The sheath would have to bite me to thrill me less. I'm sorry, but he'd have to pay me to use it, I know they say it is G10 but the handle looks like one of the cheapest things I've seen in a long time. And I got a Bud K catalog in the mail last week. :P

Is it just me, or does he look like he's 12 in that picture, or maybe just a very "special 14"? For a man who is so interested in flash, he could have least found a less embarrassing photo. :P

On your related related, I wouldn't be suprised if his crew has a pool going to see when he has to be medivaced. *laughs*

Great replies, as usual. Thanks for the info on the canteen.

Love the "medivaced" reply as well.

The steel is a powder steel similar to ATS-34 (made by Damasteel). Allen Elishewitz uses it.

Bear looks like Adam Sandler with his brains kicked out and holding his knife like a 13 y/o who just discovered a miracle of nature.Contemporary British knifemaking seems to fall in two camps; the worthy, but also oft overpriced Mears bushcraft knife family or blades of mongrel steels with every angle once mercilessly eliminated by the Supermarine Spitfire's legendary designer brought back to life. What is that famous motoring enthusiast's axiom? " Give a brit a piece of metal and he'll do something silly with it." You can also collect a Lofty Wiseman Parang for a similar price sporting 440 c steel and a black rubber handle. Not that the TRACKER can't be held to your ear and apache heard when you tap the blade into ringing louder than a cash register.It's part of the industry people and If I thought my cellulose handled RCMP folder with SGT Prescott of the Yukon could build a trapper's cabin better I'd carry it. Meanwhile, Our own Randy Schwert did an online review of a nice knife inspired by Mors Kochanski's writings. Of course, Mors and fellow canadian Les Stroud continue to espouse moras and SAKS. One would think Grohmann would lazer engrave a few of their nice blades with " Les is Mor " and double the price.

Camera crew? LOL. My girlfired is in a camera operator and when we are watching "Dirty Jobs" or "MvW" she keeps telling me that whatever freaky, smelly, tight, dangerous shot there is camera had to go in first. It may sound great at first but will get tired really quick. So she stays with "Rescue me" and "30 rock" no suprises there and stunts are controlled.

But when on the set of "rescue me" my girlfriend did mention the "MvW" show and Dennis being himself said: "You know who watches that show? You and his mom."

michaelJ07 the canteen/water bottle Bear G. uses is a british pattern-58 and a cursader Stainless steel teflon coated mug underneath it...it's secured together with 550 cord....well on the knife, like they say there's a sucker born every minute...and i assume fans will want one to be like Bear g....vince g. 11b inf.

Let's see: for $700 I could get a Doug Ritter RSK Mark III AND a Cold Steel Sisu in San Mai steel, AND still take DW out to dinner in a futile attempt to dodge the storm that would follow spending that much money on a couple of hunks of sharp metal.

Sorry, Bear. No sale.
