Gerber Recalls Bear Grylls Parang Machetes

[Bradsknives]

FYI: Gerber Recalls Machetes Due to Laceration Hazard

This is like the fourth or fifth recall on Gerber Bear Grylls products.

Guess I'll have to drink my own ****

I looked at the design/features of the Gerber Bear Grylls survival knife and I was really impressed, but then I got to actually see the quality (lack of) of the actual knife and I began to wonder what the heck Gerber was thinking.

The product has all the features you'd want, but its a cheap piece of crap that is poorly executed. If I was Bear Grylls I would not want my name on it and I can't believe Gerber put their name on it. That applies to ALL of the various Gerber/Bear Grylls products I've seen.

The Survival Knife is a poor man's LMF II.

Doesn't anyone else find it ironic that a knife is recalled because of a laceration hazard?

 

[M67]

OH NO!!!! WHAT AM i GOING TO DO WITHOUT MY SUPER HIGH QUALITY SURVIVAL TOOL?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?

Wonder when they're going to recall the Bear Grylls bladder specifically designed to hold and keep urine sterile.

LOL

Wait 'till they figure out how sharp that double-edge BIC razor is!

Ridiculous. Gerber used to make quality blades, but they haven't for years. Bear grylls is a joke, as are his products.

 

[grunt soldier]

Cannot testify as to his products, but Bear Grylls is the man.

This line of products is from overseas. They still have some American Made, but I always check before i put any money down. Rather spend a couple extra bucks for something good made in American, then buying cheap crap that breaks shortly after.

 

[tv1217]

Nobody else drinks their own **** and stays in a hotel as good as Bear Grylls.

 

[cesna250]

Gerber fails again.

Les Stroud is the man.

Bear Grylls stays in hotel rooms when the camera's not rolling.

When all of you have done things manlier than Bean Grylls, then you can talk about him and mean it.

LOL

LOL

Compared to a lot of the things people on here have done, yes!

I'm thinking we could have a Bear Grylls marathon. I will call it the First Annual Memorial (even though he ain't dead) Bear Ghrylls-athon Fun Run, Drink and Dash. For the Cure.

FAMBGAFRDD, for short.

You will join the Queen's army. Become a paratrooper. Break your back. Learn to walk again. Drink your own ****. Eat questionable roadkill. Sleep outdoors. Write a book. Learn to fight.

The event will be broken down into stages. The first stage is drinking one's ****. This should weed out the non-serious competitors early on. The second stage is me hitting people in the back with baseball bats. Oh, there will be a waiver. Stage three is crawling across broken glass and being forced to eat room temperature hot summer Indiana roadkill. Your selection of the finest possum, deer, raccoon or mystery meat. Those who have successfully completed these previous stages are forced to write a 500 page or less essay on a Tandy 1000 EX and must have a minimum typing accuracy of 30/WMP with no more than 2 errors per 2 lines of typefield. After that, you get to stay in the hotel or hospital room of your choice. Disclaimer: You pay the bill.

Entry into the FAMBGAFRDD is $50.00. You will get a t-shirt with the logo on the front and the event name on the back. You can have it in any colour you want, as long as the colour you want is coral. Or black. Whichever I can find cheapest.

FAMBGAFRDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very unforunate. People think the products must be good because they have his name on them. Many of us are knife snobs I confess, but for the average joe or jane who wants a fair priced tool to go get out in nature alittle this is really sad. I try to educate people about quality products that are worth every penny(be that many pennies or few pennies) But these crap knives are over priced if they gave them away.

Amen.
