Authentic Gerber Strongarm Fixed-Blade Knife Made in U.S.A. Compared to a Chinese Knockoff

[@KingBeeinthePhilippines]

Tell Grandma no cow poop chopping with the new real Gerber.

[@sog6841]

I love Gerber. I’ve been a Gerber guy for 40 years. I bought a Gerber with my first paycheck at 15 and still buy them and carry one daily.

[@shawnlee3997]

Yea the cut and tensil strength of the steel. Love it

[@Oldmanfromchicago]

The Chinese are making almost all the tools for most of the companies. They have the drawings and specs for everything. It's really easy for them to make anything that is on the market. Our companies gave them all their secrets. We taught them everything we knew. Now they make their own brands with a few changes and are selling them for less. We handed them the keys and now we're screwed. Kids today in the US never worked in a factory. All us old guys who now how to run machines are disappearing. I have seen lathes, Bridgeport mills , and other machines sold for scrap. Corporate America gave it away.

Long time coming!!! Happy you got a real one in your hands

[@SirMikeMiller]

I have knives that are very expensive and I use them but I also respect them and take great care of them.

[@janemarkham4133]

Good for you sir, caus if you dont, no one else will!! Just my feeling's about things I own!!😊👍🤟🤘🙃

[@hobbexp]

That is a good knife. If I were you, I'd put that knife with your prep/bug out stuff. And turn in all the other knives to the shop for sharpening. Even the multi-tool. Or get a sharpening stone, the girls know how to use it. When I was in my twenties, I had a Thai girl. And she had a sharpening stone in a kitchen drawer. which she used regularly. It was the same with my last girlfriend who was from Chile. I have the same system. And I have the same kitchen knives for 25-30 years now.

[@harrylight2243]

hello from UK, I purchased 3 knockoff strongarm knives from Aliexpress China , for less than $10.00 each delivered uk. the sheath is branded Gerber, but the knives are branded WPKOPYA with the Stars and stripes flag USA. they were advertised as D2 steel and very well made, I imagine they were so cheap as heat treatment is so critical, and all the adverse publicity with the knock offs breaking they are now dumping existing stock to recover costs. personally I want the knives for general camp and bushcraft work, and they should be fine provided they are not subjected to shock or lateral impact.

Do you have a miniature version for cooking at home?

[@dorisfranklin8129]

i love video mini cooking of youuu

[@TDbricksnew]

Heyyy bro

[@KingBeeinthePhilippines]

Definitely keep it for personal use King.

[@thomasmarquez6790]

I have the legit Strongarm. The knife was dull upon arrival. Was yours dull also?

[@carlosstewart2925]

QUESTION: can you carry a knife over there, or is that against the law?

[@hobbexp]

It's generally illegal to carry any bladed weapon in public without a lawful reason.

[@thaimaxcan]

Thanks, I just ordered a copy on Lazada . I want to try it in the kitchen. The Chinese copy passed the filipina kitchen and village test, so it is not that bad.

[@SirMikeMiller]

Keep it for your use only. Good knives have a specific use but even the best knives can be abused and destroyed by people that don’t respect the tool.

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

I carry a Gerber pocket knife and have for decades. 👍🏼

[@OLHIPPIE420]

Ohhhh king dude that knife would be perfect for a safe ride in the Chicago subway.. nice little tool….

[@markbrowell]

gerber website says if the the knife has a letter in the serial No. its a fake.

[@Pat_KraPao]

Should do a comparison between two new knives instead of with an old knife.

[@43coralsea]

[@rodneyschwieger]

I would suggest you only share the knife if it makes it easier for the ladies prepare food for you and your babies. I would consider investing in a sharpener and try ti keep the China blade sharp for them. Possibly even consider buying them a more appropriate kitchen knife and keep the strongarm for personal use.

[@edic2619]

Great review. Great job.

[@Ratpiss_utd]

I cant believe how many Americans carry a knife everyday ,similar to carrying or forgetting a phone In uk and Australia we don’t do that and illegal

[@go2popdisplays]

Nice Video, Enjoy the Knife

[@LETSBESTRONGER]

Good morning 😎

[@conchopete1789]

Need some Mora knives for the village they are great inexpensive knives

[@jlsmithling]

If you could perform a rockwell hardness test that would be telling. The genuine one will probably hold an edge a lot longer.

It'll end up opening up a can of premium beef from Belgium my friend lol😊

Release the 1st. Release the 2nd. Keep yours quietly.

Hello King

Top knife here in Oregon is the Bench made,the Gerber use to be,but their quality is not what it use to be

[@paultwist8180]

No No No for torture testing. Keep the knife with the king. Leave the knockoff on the cooking table. Subtle but obvious differences between the authentic and the knockoff.

[@kerrielefevre6644]

keep it for you

[@proudone8170]

Hey Marcus,I was just watching your video about the fake Gerber strongarm. When you showed the image of the documentation that came with it. Check out the word Tactical on the paper. Damn Chinese can't spell. Tactibal surprised thay got the word Gerber spelled right

[@mls515]

Show the Filipinas a video of the $15 Walmart Farberware electric can opener. Their minds will be blown, bet they've never seen that.

[@tinaraphael9783]

The noise inside they are coming out. Hello ladies and all.

[@BGuitar415]

I have a couple of ka bar bk18's and a esee 4 chinese copies and I am impressed with the batch. Depends on the vendor some of these are hard to beat. Yea yea I know boycott china. But c'mon frugality prevails lol.

[@davidglazener7921]

The real ones have a series of 5 numbers while the fakes usually have 7 numbers and then a letter.

[@richardb.pepperman3460]

There is nothing like the real Mc Coy.

[@jeffreyevans2871]

Keep it for your personal use, and sharpen the knock off for the lady's

[@ronfo4273]

Relegate the knockoff to can opener duty and keep a close eye on the authentic Gerber so it's not used for nefarious activities by the ladies.

[@MayraGrayHarrisMusic1]

How is the kids and wife King?

[@thexfiveunit]

Can a foreigner carry a pocket knife in the Philippines? Will be going back soon but never bring my pocket knife

[@1AwesomeMotivation]

[@TomiBonTomi_2.0]

Yeah, after some time cheap chinese plastic usually acquires this "philosophical" Play-Dough consistency, in worst case scenario a coal-miner booger one. LOL. On a serious note; these phthalates are highly carcinogenic. I wouldn't even touch that handle anymore.

[@alanvorwald8624]

They are going to find it and use it!! Don't worry about that! It's the Fhilipio way, no respect for tools

[@RiderOftheNorth1968]

Some Gerbers are half decent knives but they are overpriced for what you get. There are better alternative out there if you get out of the illusion that "Made in USA" have something to do with good quality.

[@BoonieDocks]

What do you like?

[@RiderOftheNorth1968]

@@BoonieDocks Depending on your budget. But Mora Garberg is a good knife so is some of Fällknivens models. If you just want a knife shaped prybar a Becker BK2 will do you nicely. It is depending of intended usage really. There are some good deals from China too out there.

May open a few more cans than Chinese version but not that much more. Not designed for that kind of use. Give the ladies the cheap one

[@WestCoastChris138]

Don’t put it out on the table, keep something for yourself brother!!

[@rumpsun10]

Keep the Gerber for yourself,maybe have the Chinese knockoff professionally sharpened for the ladies to use in cooking

He can’t help himself, he’s the only one in the Philippines not having a good time because he keeps thinking about Chinese ppl slowly colonizing the world…

I trust " Made In The U.S.A. " That's all I have to know.

You do know Gerber makes real coocking knifes?

[@jessemoore3074]

Kddp it for personal use

It’s Chinese made, he was told not to like Chinese ppl so now he’s throwing a fit

[@Expat_in_Moises_Padilla]

be selfish, keep it to yourself and just use it when you want to use it, nothing better than a nice knife

[@maclovioberumen1917]

Their not made from the same material. The U.S.A. knife is a high grade steel.

[@davidglazener7921]

And what is the fake?

[@shawnlee3997]

That knife was meant to be abused. Show it off
