  It's a good military knife, it served me very well overseas, I busted locks open used it as a  pribar, a pummel and I trusted it with my life. But it's not the best bushcraft knife no. Fun fact though the reason the LMF 2 isn't full tang is so you can cut live wires in a downed aircraft, hommie of mine pried a hmvee door open with his

  I was camping in the mountains of West Virginia earlier this week when the remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia came through and drenched everything. I needed a fire and all I had was my Gerber Strongarm. There was no dry wood to be found. I actually HAD to baton a log into tinder and kindling to get a fire started. The Strongarm did great, and was still sharp after much batoning. The black coating wasn’t even damaged. I quickly got a fire started. True story. Not a joke.

  They make the Gerber Strongarm in CPM Magnacut now. So now you have the ultimate design of The Strongarm, with one of my favorite knife steels along with a fantastic sheath.

  Gotta say. That video really went how I thought it would. The Gerber definitely did what I expected of it, since it was designed to be indestructible, because a dull knife can still kill better than a broken one. It definitely wasn't made with bushcraft in mind, but as a combat/last ditch survival knife it makes sense.

  "We're gonna head into this open-minded" gets shocked when the knife performs well 😀

  In the States it is sold as a survival, combat knife. I use mine brutally with no issues.

  I wanna see you guys test out a Kephart style knife to see if a 100 year old design stands up to modern bushcrafting

  The destruction test put to it several years ago did it for me.<br>I ordered two of them back when they were around $50 &nbsp;and have never regretted the purchases once.

  From a bushcrafting standpoint the Mora will definitely win.<br><br>The Strongarm is a general purpose knife, can do everything decently well enough to get work done, but not necessarily a master of any one thing. &nbsp;It can start a fire like a mofo though and the basic indestructability of it makes it a top pick for me. &nbsp;You may need to maintain the edge a little more than some, but with the availability of all sorts of easily packable or otherwise carryable maintenance items that&apos;s not really a problem. &nbsp;I&apos;ve never had to do more than use a ceramic rod or strop on mine. &nbsp;Because of the thicker grind other knives will beat it out in the &quot;shaving sharpness,&quot; but I&apos;ve never come across a real situation where I need to shave hair off my arm on the double. &nbsp;It cuts and basically cannot be broken makes it one of my absolute reliable favorites and go-tos.

  I have had mine since the Original Gauntlet series where a Strong Arm was sent to multiple YouTubers for abuse. It isn&apos;t a bushcraft blade at all but I trust having it tucked away in my truck bag.
