How to identify fake/counterfeit Gerber Strongarm knives

[@MidichlorianGames1]

Your serial number is one off from mine lol Our knives are brothers!

[@tacsquirrel]

When I called Gerber to ask questions before making this video, they told me it was a serial number. Apparently its a "batch" number instead.

[@kx8960]

I have a black plain edge and the number is 08721. I got it in June 2021.

[@mit15]

I have one! Its batch number is 08722.

[@UndergroundMetalDetecting]

Had this exact same thing happen recently. Thought I was saving a couple bucks on Amazon and ended up receiving the smaller box counterfeit. I returned it immediately and got a quick full refund from Amazon then went straight to the Gerber site. With my military veteran discount I ended up getting the REAL one direct from Gerber cheaper than what I paid on Amazon. Really nice serrated knife!

[@jamesparker6383]

I have the Strongarm, bought it directly from the manufacturer and it came in a box. Don't trust Amazon, I may pay a little more but I know I'm not being ripped off.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

So true! Many people are buying from Wish, Alibaba, etc. & reselling on Amazon & EBay.

[@markt.33]

I also bought mine from the manufacturer and it came in a box also. Unless I heard you incorrectly, you stated “if you bought a Strongarm in a box, it’s fake” I’m confused 🫤

[@jamesparker6383]

No that wasn't me that said that @@markt.33

[@yorkleroy5605]

I bought mine directly from Gerber, it did come in a box with bubblewrap, but it was actually inside the official stiff plastic sheet-case packaging inside that.

[@GunsandGuava]

Bought mine today in Sportsman’s warehouse at the knife bar, I seen the reviews and was aware they had a high bootleg market. So purchasing from a reputable dealer was my best route and yes I paid a little more but I got to hold the knife before purchasing and see it myself … that’s a plus and I knew I was getting the real deal too!

[@19xHeimdallx84]

Finally, someone reviewing Strongarm in blister packs.I've seen this variant since 2020 but no one reviewed them & I assumed they were Walmart goods and somewhat "clone" As someone who lives from Asia who cant buy from reputable seller, this helped me alot to confirm what I had is real. Something tells me you take good care of your stuff by not ripping the blister packaging like an animal out of excitement. Thanks man. I hope your reviews help alot of people like me!

[@71simonforrester]

I knowingly bought a copy for less than the equivalent of $20, just to test ergonomics etc. It rattles in the sheath and it needed the edge touching up but it's OK for messing about on the farm. Not sure if I'd like to have to trust it if SHTF but it's fine for general chores. The strong arm is $125 in the UK from the Gerber store, or approx $100 from other resellers. The steel and quality in general don't warrant that. I can buy far better European knives in the UK for the equivalent of $125. I'm glad I've had fun trying out the design with a cheap fake, that wasn't actually sold as being a Gerber though.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Exactly...its freaking Oregon doing the same thing California has done. GERBER has to pay insane wages and taxes which could end up pushing them out of the state. Just like Cali did too Buck knives who moved to Idaho . Systematic distruction of our coastal states is no coincidence. $69 was a great deal but $89 no way . I can pay $20 to $30 more for a Tops and Esee knife. Or buy a Joker blade from Spain which are beautiful blades for the money .

[@to_the_wilderness]

420HC really doesn't worth 125$. Not even 80 in my opinion. Gerber strongarm worth maybe 50 bucks.

[@spitthatmoraleout8603]

Honestly, just go watch the Joe X review of it then come back

[@71simonforrester]

@@spitthatmoraleout8603 The real one or the copy? The real one reviews really well but it costs so much less in the US that expectations are lower

[@to_the_wilderness]

@@spitthatmoraleout8603 Honestly, try edge retention of Ganzo G807 for 20 bucks, compare it with strongarm and then come back. Strongarm really doesn't worth 125 bucks, you can have better knives from better steel under 60 bucks. For the price of strongarm you can have several times better hogue exf02.

[@wick4417]

👍👍👍👍 Thanks a lot indeed for your video!!! It helped me a lot! - You are absolutely right! All those mentioned points are the same with my fake copy!!! Exactly everything the same! So luckily with your help I could identify the fake copy immediately! - - one more additional point: The original Gerber Armstrong is 204 Gramms. The fake copy is only 194 Gramms. And yes, the fake ones seem to be a bit sharper right out of the box .... nothing to care about as you have to sharpen it anyway ... I bought on Amazon Germany. The first copy was the fake, luckily at least the second an original one! (None of them came in blister package but the fake copy came in wrong pack (brown color for the black knife) and obviously already often opened box ..

[@barbsluv1]

The retail chain I work for receive Gerber directly from company and we receive boxes or blister pack depending on the modular layout of the particular facility.

[@SagaSynthetics]

Just got a Gerber StrongArm Camp in green / olive yesterday and it came in "retail" packaging as you say is the "original". Great knife, love the design, full tang, stonewash and the olive green with black is eye candy. Even went on the used market and ordered a beautiful Ruike Jager F118-G and a Brusletto Femund GRS with green mountain camo (these are limited edition and not obtainable anymore, and extremely hard to come by), got it for a fair price with the guy too. Used to own a new run Brusletto Femund and it was amazing, sold it a few years back and missed it so much, when I saw that GRS edition listed on the used market today, I just had to pull the trigger on it.

[@robbybankston4238]

Never tried the strongarm but I've got a Gerber LMF II and it looks very similiar and my LMF II is awesome so the strongarm is probably outstanding also. Gerber really does have great products.

[@lyman135]

um, no

[@robbybankston4238]

So what are your recommendations instead?@@lyman135

[@fsdarrell]

Many, but not all fakes have hollow a hollow grind while the authentic Strongarm has a sabre grind.

[@muddnyreye]

Sometimes manufacturers send their 2nd’s or slight off runs to the big chain stores. That’s how they are able to offer at a discount. When you purchase it at full price from the manufacturer it has to pass a stricter inspection process. I’ve purchased brands directly from manufacturers and received slightly off items before. This is called runs. Might be differences, between gen’s

[@webguy943]

💯. Amazon always gets the 2nds. Bad quality.

[@michaelgreen7028]

What you're likely experiencing is the difference between one product being made in the USA and the other being made elsewhere...I imagine they're both "Gerber," however they're made to different specs with differing quality materials and QA/QC. The lower quality item likely sells for less (as it costs less to make), and is therefore sold through Amazon.

[@realUlfricStormcloak]

Interesting that the knockoff actually sharpens all the way down the blade. 🤔

I get that all the guys making how to spot a Strongarm counterfeit are just trying to help. My problem with ALL of them is they have at least one or two data points that are just not true. Listen to how certain TacSquirrel is about the sheath rattling. He says that is a sure way to tell it's a fake. I haven't seen a single Strongarm mine or friends and family that didn't rattle a bit in the sheath. Not one. Regardless when or where purchased.

[@thomasahlbrand7765]

I got a fake and my sheath didn’t hold the knife in place very well. Took a hair dryer , heated it up and bent in the holding clip, holds it just fine. How does it perform? Watched a U-Tube video and it passed all the test with flying colors. $30 vs $90 here in the states . If it works who cares if it’s fake. Saved $60. Just saying.

I don't get why anyone would try to fake an already cheap knife like this. Oh shoot. I do get it. It's a lot easier to fake a cheap knife like a gerber than a much better knife. Time to level up from Gerber in general 😂 I do use a gerber dime multitool on my keyring. It came in a blister pack from Target. Is it fake? I don't care. I didn't buy it for the knife. Had it for over 5 years. Works great. Legit Gerber stuff does come in blisterpacks... just an FYI.

[@MrDdm343]

I'm curious to see the difference in quality. Are the counterfeits really of less quality? Or do they hold up just as well? I agree that counterfeits are not the way, but what if people find out they have a counterfeit and it's too late to return it? Will it fail on them?

[@GrayDark617]

Hi! Thanks for the review! Mine is original (not fake) and it rattles a bit in it's sheath. It's the serrated variant btw. Also i know for sure it is NOT a counterfit. Just as a note! Have a great day!

You didn’t mention the grind. (Or did you?) The fake has a much wider flat grind than the real one. And it seemed the fake one is a bit more hollow ground too, but that was difficult to see.

[@tacsquirrel]

I didn't mention it. Wanted to keep it simple. But you are right.

[@to_the_wilderness]

The only bad thing about the strongarm is used steel/price ratio. 420HC is overpriced low-end and I'm saying that as a metalurgist. I'm dreaming about strongarm from better steel like aus10, D2, 154cm or carbon like 1095 or 80crv2. That would be awesome.

[@petergreenwald9639]

One thing to add. Notice the "fabric" does not match the color of the sheath on the fake. I have both an Amazon and a Cabela credit card. I accumulate points on both. For crap, I use Amazon points. For branded outdoor product, I stop by the local store and use my Cabela points. This is international trade violations, where is the trusty Feds.

[@jeffdur1330]

What can they do? It's on Amazon for knowingly selling fakes.

[@yankee23a]

@jeffdur1330 Well the least they can do is conduct an investigation into the factory/manufacturers producing the goods and then file intellectual property right infringements and restraint of trade against them.....thats what other brands have to do so the market doesnt get flooded with fakes, its a reputation risk too.....but depends on if they care or not

Gerber's Legendary StrongArm 😊

[@albertrichins9435]

I bought 2 Gerber Strongarm Desert cammo knives on Amazon in December of 2016. Then about a month ago I bought a black one from Cabela's. The Desert Cammo ones have the same number on them. It is 8 digits, the fake one that you are showing has a number with 9 digits. The black one that I bought from Cabela's has the same number on it that the desert cammo one that you bought from Cabela's. 08723 interesting. There are a few differences in the black one and the desert cammo ones. Different factory runs can have differences sometimes. I have sharpened the desert cammo ones and they have very hard steel in them. I just hope the counter fitters weren't working back in 2016.

[@tacsquirrel]

[@BuzznSuz]

Knowing it was counterfeit I paid $28 for one on eBay. So far it’s not failed me. My theory is the good knock offs are made by Gerber in China to compete with lesser fakes. The workmanship on mine is absolutely perfect, it holds a good edge. I’m completely satisfied and I’m $50 richer

[@realtyrocks1969]

Sure you can. All of them are made in China. You're kidding yourself if you think that one factory in China uses materials far superior to the other China factory.

The knife does rattle in the sheath and the serial number has eight digits and not five. So now the question is still is my knife real or fake?

I wouldnt be much concerned if the knife rattles while in the sheath as long it doesnt fall off. It could just be wear and tear, getting loose over the years.

Look at the difference in the glass breaker pommels. On the real one matches the angles of the handle, and the tip is very sharp. In the fake it’s a separate piece & is blunt.

[@Helpline5815]

This is a part of the reason why I won't buy anything from Amazon anymore, too much crap from overseas that's fake or not to spec. And Walmart is doing so much better now and can ship from the store to your house for most things, and you know for the most part you get real stuff and good stuff. I heard somewhere too on this same topic that Gerber said that Amazon is not one of their approved retailers. But even with great companies like Gerber and Remington Arms, you get crappy stuff and good stuff. It's luck of the draw and how it's finished in the factory.
