GERBER STRONGARM PART 2 - KNIFE DESTRUCTION TEST - UNTIL IT BREAKS - let's break it again - 420 HC

[@ghostlyhale709]

Why are you doing splits in the intro like a female? Better question, why are you doing redundant destruction test on knifes? Chopping bricks for what? If I was the knife company I'd have your channel shut down.

[@joex]

haha, but u are just a nobody!!!

[@hazardous2593]

Someone's mad at how good the knife is and what it stands up too again it's a military knife not a kitchen knife man be real 😂 it needs to do all this to prove its longevity you don't want to go out spending hundreds on the same knife because it can't with stand a bit of nature... that would be silly and what the Chinese knifes do unlike USA MADE.... I watched this and was happy there's a good product and people arnt getting ripped off... you on the other hand getting pissy because a knife needs to withstand drops, falls, hits and misses and still hold up to whatever it needs to do and this dudes channel serves the very purpose of showing everyone their favorite knife in action and how they fair against legitimate use and or misuse....

Excellent job, as usual. I think the major knife companies should be hiring you as a consultant and letting YOU design a knife to your specs. I’d buy it. You know more about what it takes to make a survival knife than almost anyone else.

[@joex]

thanks, that would be awesome!!!!

Great video, as always! I wanted to buy Cold Steel SRK V3, and now I'm thinking about this knife. What would you recommend? Looks like Gerber strongarm is slightly stronger.

[@joex]

stronger and cheaper,, but not as sharp as the SRK

[@ElectronicsComputers]

@@joex Thank you for the reply and your awesome content. I bought the Gerber Strongarm in Warsaw for about a 100 euros. The problem is, I want more knives now.

Thank you so much for testing the Gerber strongarm, I myself have a strongarm i was wanting to know how strong the knife is. I really appreciate for someone like you to do such testing on knives. It really shows how good the knife is ❤👍🙌

[@joex]

u are welcome!!!!

[@Gman1024]

Very impressive for a budget blade, I like it. Excellent pull-ups and Jean Claude would be proud of your flexibility. Red Bull and Gerber should be sponsoring you after this one, haha.

[@joex]

that would be cool, thanks!

[@ArchimantisTF]

Good job. The only drawback to this knife is an average edge retention. Like many other knives, you'll have to resharpen it on a regular basis. Is is quick and easy, so it is not a real problem. For everything else, it's funny how these (US made) Gerber outclass so many expensive "supersteel-survival-bullshit" knives. Heat treating is everything.

[@joex]

cool, thanks for the info, i think the edge ret. is ok!

[@russellcharles7839]

So many people hate on this knife. Glad you did a second video on it!

[@joex]

yeah, i proved them all wrong!!!!!!!!!

[@joex]

again!

[@Ve-suvius]

For a stabber I would not pick it. It's too blunt I experienced. It can be called combat knife. But for combat it's not the best choice. Stabbing that is. Ontario SP5, SP1, SP3 are already much better choices regarding combat.

[@caliginousmoira8565]

i've never come across a complaint about the strongarm.... the bear grills knife is what everyone seems to hate.

[@maxwellfluckiger6829]

Yer, the BG ones made in China! Cheap rubbish! The Strongarm is made in US and is rock solid at the pricepoint! ​@@caliginousmoira8565

[@mathewrculbertson]

Wow I’m impressed again. That 420hc and build is very tough.

[@joex]

it is!

[@somedude669]

The Strong arm is like a well built old Toyota Helix. It will always be better than the newest and high end poorly built Lamborghini. Sure the Lambo is a flex on the poors when it wants to work, but the Helix will put in work when ever you ask it too and you're not afraid to put a scratch on it.

[@jeremyburris4890]

Hey Joe, what is the better knife? This or the jaakaripuukko 140?

[@joex]

depends for what, both are cool, but for military i would take the strongarm

[@jeremyburris4890]

@joex I just want a well rounded survival knife. Shit hit the fan kind of thing.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Wow. Ok, you convinced me that Gerber makes a good knife. I never liked Gerber and had a lot of bad experiences with their products, but man this thing really took it like a champ. Thanks MR.X you are the best!

[@joex]

this one is awesome!!!!

[@hightower196X]

Here we have a strong workhorse that‘s for sure! Awesome testing as always, but synchronized double view action cam at iron rod workout is amazing! 🍻

[@joex]

thanks!!!

[@zerovalon6243]

Could it survive the iron rod? Well mostly and it still made a great pull-up bar. What a great knife. Thanks for giving it a second chance.

[@joex]

yeah, it did good!

[@adda-hy8zy]

Thx Joe. Only when the metal has passed your test is it tested. No ranking without a hardcore test. After that, the manufacturers should first set their price 😉

[@joex]

i think so too!

[@bum116]

That knife might as well be "That One Tool" that is ridiculously strong

[@joex]

exaclty!

[@d.b.hemlock]

Amazed a Gerber lasted that long. Lately their track record hasn't been the greatest. Maybe things are looking up for them! Excellent video brother! Side note, I'm sore from just watching you do the splits on those logs 😂 ouch!

[@joex]

thanks, it did good now at 2 tests, so i think it is a "winner"!!! cheers!

[@nunyabizness3882]

The strongarm has been a solid budget blade for years

[@sixstringmetal8559]

How has their track record not been great lately? Can you elaborate a bit?

[@christopher7398]

Their American made stuff has always had a pretty good track record. It’s the Chinese crap you need to watch out for.

[@lymedog3176]

Joe , I spoke to you about the Terrava Puukko ,which I purchased. I just purchased the gerber strongarm and will hopefully getting the APO 1s as my final fixed blade. I do own the prodigy and the cold steel trailmaster carbon v both super durable knives. Thanks for the videos to re-enforce my decisions. I also follow the DBK guys and they have faith in your extreme methods too! I did have two questions… 1st will you be doing and destruction tests on the “Jeo-Tec series” of knives and 2nd how did you train to get your “Pavel Tsatsouline” type flexibility?

[@joex]

hey, thanks, in the future no test of the Jeo...., flex - hard years of training!

[@mrmcbeth]

Thanks for testing this knife again. It's a good one.

[@joex]

it is!

[@neil6961]

Took almost 1hour total of Extreme Abuse! Thats Awesome!!

[@joex]

yeah!

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Gerber StrongArm stays STRONG!!! Awesome... I was wagering his knife would once again provide another tough, challenging test run.. To me, it appears to have impressive results given the difficult destructive testing plus timeline to the endgame. It is great to see relative consistency in destructive torture testing and abuse-type endurance. I have two StrongArms... the coyote-brown 420HC and the Limited Edition grey BDZ1. Both are really good, reliable allrounder field-knives going mild to wild. Great Show JoeX! Another request to please make a video for the KA-BAR Warthog.

thanks it is an awesome blade after all!"

Danke für den Test. Wollte schon fragen ob du des Strongarm dem lmf II bevorzugst… 😊

[@reddenw5501]

I LOVE this series, PLEASE make a "Let's Break It Again" or whatever you wanna call it type of video, where you retest profound failures or wins from the past, to see if they still hold up. If you have the funding, it'd be nice to see a few knives of the same model and steel, especially in the budget to mid realm, from different batches (purchase the knives at different times, wait for a few months between buying a duplicate) @JOE X I think a real long term potential of your channel is to test the current batches from each knife maker, to see if they are still holding up to what they should. These videos don't even have to be long, you can just test the most hardcore actions on each of your samples, each sample might only take up 1-2 min of screentime.

[@joex]

i did that, with the TOPS Silent Hero, TOPS STEEL EAGLE and BK2

I'm thinking the situation if you have to baton that handle (intentionally or accidentally) in survival situation, when making firewood or cutting a tree. Expecially in winter. Here can be -30°C, i guess the temperature can affect the nylon.
