Just ordered the vital from sportsman guide cant wait to test it this season

[@JamesMorse-dd6ry]

I usually try to find some cons to go along with the pros.. kzbin.infoUgkxnkYCgssg4ZO858cyBdD1JPEaUJ9Up1C_ but it really is a good knife. The blade sits centered in the handle when closed (photo added). It opens effortlessly. Unlocks and closes easily with one hand. It’s a great size for EDC. I wish this exact knife came in one of the premium steels to satisfy the knife snob in me.. but it’s a great tool at a great price as it is. Would buy again.

Glad you like it!

I used a Gerber Vital this past week on a Wyoming antelope and it did a great job. Because of you I went DIY hunting in the West and successfully harvested a Pronghorn Antelope on public land. It was a great hunt and the feeling of accomplishment I got from doing it on my own was amazing. Thanks for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Congrats.

[@gmoutdoorsandmore7731]

Great knife video! The cutting methods will really help, Thanks Randy!

My first hunting knife was a Gerber with the rubber grip and a gut-hook. Still have it after 25 yrs +/-. I just designed a gut-hook knife in my line-up and I am on #2 right now. Definitely going to put that Gerber Vital in my Amazon Wish List before this falls hunt.

[@Kman31ca]

I love my havalon, plus my Falkniven F1. The F1 is a great knive. It's a survival knife for Swedish pilots. But just an excellent knife. Made with laminate VG 10 steel, which is almost dang near impervious to the winter conditions, and holds a good edge, but still sharpens up nice. A lil pricey but worth it in my view. I field dressed to deer last year with the combination and never needed sharpening. And if I do, I have a small strop I made that will bring it right back to a razors edge in a minute or 2. My old knife drove me nuts having to sharpen a couple times in the middle of deboning an Elk a while back. That's when I made the switch. Hopefully draw an Elk or moose this year and try the combo out on a full deboning job.

[@ryangray7093]

A couple of helpful tips. Thank you!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Hope it is worth the time to watch.

[@jamesjahoda1613]

I love my Vicrtonox lamb skinner. It's a great skinning tool. So far, I only skin deer.

[@henningbergmann5494]

*Handy product. Works well.*

[@sandonmorris7642]

I can't wait to see some videos from this season!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

We are having a good season so far. I hope it keeps going this way. Thanks for watching.

[@sandonmorris7642]

I'm pretty excited for opening day tomorrow and hope I can get onto the big white tail bucks I found

[@baseofthebighorns7784]

Great tips. Gut hooks are a must have!

[@travissoff9521]

I've never used a gut hook.

[@josephirwin1168]

Thank you.

[@kennethsmith8631]

Gerber knife the first knife my wife ever bought me was the gutting hook best knife in my collection

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Good to hear.

[@miker3653]

Randy , love the look of the Gerber Vital Big Game knife. You made it look easy. Matter of fact I have a $1000 waterless cookware set because a guy made it look easy. 35 years later I still have it. :) Where can I buy a serrated blade? All I have found is the drop point and the blunt point replacement blades. I also saw a new Randy knife on Midwayusa that looked great and had a serrated blade. Thanks in advance for your guidance

[@williamtarr9758]

I like that gerber might add one to my aresenal

[@jasonsecrist6111]

Thank you Randy!! Im headed up for my General rifle deer in Utah, wish me luck!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Good luck. And thanks for watching.

[@michaelpearson3748]

Do you use any sent cover or blocks? And if so what do you use and what is your routine for application? Also thank you for all the tips and tricks. I feel I have learned quiet a bit form you and your show.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I don't use any scent covers/blocks. My hunting is too active and there is no way it can control my scent. The wind is your best ally in scent control. Thanks for watching. Appreciate your support of our platforms.

[@lineman2323]

I really have taken a liking to the outdoor edge series!! Don't like my blade flimsy like a havy or Or that knife!! Light enough and also has a gut hook on the other side!! I understand sponsorships, but if u haven't tried it, you should!!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I have tried it. Was not what I wanted for the applications I have.

[@native9275]

lineman2323 what outdoor edge model knives do you use?

[@jdalley5192]

I bought a Gerber vital and it won’t hold the blade in place. Something isn’t right with the locking mechanism I guess.... Have you had any issues like that?

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

Hey there awesome video! Merry Christmas!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@SultanofSpey]

Hi Randy. I've always used the Havalon Piranta. How is the Gerber different? Always willing to try something new.

[@MotoNoir86]

Looks like just the quick release of the blade on the Gerber vs the plastic tool havalon provides

[@phuckyou7676]

Have you ever tried any buck knives? My hunting knives are the buck 113, buck 110, buck 119, and the buck 112. I also use a bear and son skinner. Western L66. Case folding hunter. And a schrade uncle Henry golden spike

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I have. They did not keep an edge as well as I had hoped. I have become a fan of the replaceable blade knives like the Gerber Vital. For a fixed blade, the super hard steel on the Gator Premium stays sharp over the course of many different animals.

[@phuckyou7676]

Randy Newberg, Hunter I just ordered a Gerber gator today. The fixed blade without a gut hook. Hopefully gonna try it on a deer this season

[@Fresh_Tracks]

It will treat you well. You will be amazed how long it stays sharp if you take care of it while using it.

[@truman1379]

Hello what sharpener do you use for your Gerber knives, when you get home from a trip? Thank you

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I use scalpel blade Gerber Vitals in most instances. For my Gator Premiums I drop them off to a friend who puts an edge back on them. Sorry I'm not of much help.

[@truman1379]

thanks and have a good and safe summer

[@garyo4456]

Do you prefer the Gerber Vital or Gerber Big Game Vital knife for elk hunting?? Thanks for your time and consideration...your opinions mean a lot to me!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

For elk, the Big Game Vital.

[@garyo4456]

Randy Newberg, Hunter - Thanks!! I trust your judgment implicitly!!! 😊👍

[@sleigh4019]

Sucks we get a Gerber ad really wanted to see some solid options

[@thedodob1rd]

I use Gerber. A great knife company. Stays sharp, durable, and lightweight.

[@billpeirce7127]

I love this knife but have cut my self by Accident every time I use it. Super sharp.🤔🤔😂

[@jacobjelen7796]

Thank you for that you do Randy. Have you ever thought about doing an Antelope talk sort of like you Elk talk ?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Funny you say that. We have "Antelope Talk" on the whiteboard right now. Will be interesting to see if we get it done this winter.

[@mthello7941]
