New Gerber at SHOT Show 2020 - KnifeCenter Coverage

[@anthonyp7051]

Gerber just blew it up! Don’t know how the 7steel are gonna stand to use but these designs are better then half of what I’ve seen released elsewhere

[@STB-jh7od]

Love that safety stop on the folding machete!!

[@ItsEveristo]

Gerber has been killing it with their design's these last two years, but the 7cr is such a bummer.

[@kalijasin]

@kamehamehaiuken, but the design and quality is getting better.

[@christopher_martin]

untill they get some decent steels im not interested....jmho

[@AvengingFade]

Dude I dont usually like gerber but they are kind of killing it this year, I saw 3 different tools that I need

[@renelesch6244]

They are getting back on track....

[@rickeybullington68]

Gerber had better keep making usa knifes .its good to see them start making usa knifes again .I think they are trying to get their act back together.

[@rickeybullington68]

@@renelesch6244 let a hope they or .I will never understand why they even when the other way like they did . It does not pay to change from the way they use to be .I hope this is a wake up call for them .

[@ericblade8330]

Topher yu wanted. Yesterday i bought Nordic Green flatiron. Luv it. Also have a eafengrow wit that blade. EF hard to beat

[@chrisb9345]

I do love the cleavers. I wish that they could do the flat iron in a non-locking version. I live in the UK, unfortunately.

[@AcidTripwire]

Don't be a coward and follow ridiculous laws. I walk around London most days with an XL Espada lol, use a Code 4 at work. Nothing is illegal unless you get caught...

[@gravitysnegative1962]

Props to Gerber for stepping it up. Definitely gonna pick some of these up before the prices go up because they definitely will.

[@gravitysnegative1962]

Jimmy Jim I meant the knives themselves. Just look at the gerber haul started out at around 25 and now they’re going for 30+ dollars.

[@mtbmoose818]

Any update on a release date for the asada or the upgraded flatiron?

[@knifecenter]

We don't have an ETA from Gerber yet, but we imagine it won't be too long... we hope!

[@hans_mods]

Gerber is killing it this year. There are at least 3 edc knives and tools I want. Definitely getting the utility blade, both of them. The little fix blade interests me a lot. And that bali-chopper... Let me join their design team!

[@ericblade8330]

Han Liu i would not say “ killin it”. Cool, decent. Their Edict is 154cm, $58.00. The Gator is same, $39.00. I buy D2 or better. I own a red n a blk Tenacious, aus8, china made, Very Very Solid pieces!! So point being aus 8 not that bad, guess it depends on the Heat Treat🔪🔪🤙

[@matthewturner7209]

Hope things are going to be available in the UK......🤞

[@damyr]

I love how David repeatedly asks the guy about blade steel... 420HC? 7 or 8cr13mov?... It's like he can't believe his ears they still use that steel in 2020. 🤭

[@jonmy357]

Some of these seem like cool designs, but I'm not of fan of the cheap steel they want to keep using

[@Redant751]

Yeah 8crmov is the least I would use.

[@DrCorvid]

Still some of those Gerber straight knives are exactly like aliexpress grafting knifes that are even more cheaply made. They should stay sharp in clean wood.

[@vicarious1028]

Yeah, you would think that Gerber would realize by now that they are becoming legendary for using junk steel.

[@DrCorvid]

@@vicarious1028 thanks; it WAS a soft-food company so what do they know about steel over there ;) ... I found out from them I wanted a tanto blade and went shopping :)

[@おだてのセイラ]

日本のハードボイルド作家である大藪晴彦氏の小説で知って以来ガーバーナイフのファンでしたが、現在のガーバー製品には溜息しかでません。 私が現在でも使い続けている愛用はガーバーのＦＳ-2です。 このナイフは本当にガーバーの傑作だと思います。 伝統のロゴマークが変わり、方向性も変わってしまって魅力のないメーカーになってしまいました。 ガーバーのナイフを愛しています。　・・・ただし、Old　Gerbarです。

[@wolfman011000]

The gerber ultimate being combo only is a bummer, only reason i never got a gerber prodigy was the combo blade. Glad i stocked up on the gerber harsey hunter back in the day, I find a knife i like i get multipules because the models disappear. I'll stick with the strongalrm, if the ultimate ever comes out in plain edge i'll get one to try. Afew interesting blades but nothing i would buy except a unicorn plain edge ultimate :). Thanks for the video take care and godbless.

[@boneyfireems1446]

I have been sleeping on Gerber .... Man what a line up 2020

[@mattpowelluk1]

What’s the front flipper cleaver called? Is it for sale?

[@knifecenter]

Fastball. Expected soon, but you can pre-order now here: kcoti.com/3dW8Qcn

[@mattpowelluk1]

KnifeCenter very tempting, do you ship to the UK?

[@knifecenter]

Yes sir

[@prepared_hippie5205]

I’m no expert but is d2 or 14c28n that more expensive to buy in bulk then 7cr? I would pay a little extra for some better budget steel. Shit I’d even take aus8 over 7cr I’ve had better performance outta aus8 then 7cr or 8cr. As far as designs they are doing pretty awesome stuff this year.

[@BluestedSRT4]

Back when Gerber made the Artifact, I wrote to Gerber to let them know they needed to market it to sign makers. I use my Gerber Artifact 20 to 30 times a day, cutting and weeding vinyl, opening paint cans, turning screws etc.. When they discontinued it I bought all I could find. I am down to 3 left (I've lost a few, left a few on job sites). This new Prybrid-X might be just the ticket, although I wish it had a small phillips like the Artifact, it comes in handy sometimes.

[@knifecenter]

I miss my Artifact. I'll definitely be picking one of these up. -DCA

[@cctvspystore]

For the price point Gerber puts out a decent product with innovations abound, damn!

[@ericblade8330]

Mad Hatter decent. I bought 154 folder I Love. Lotta their stuff is junk jus like crkt an one other one they be using 5cr 13, and 3!! 3! Sad and un American

[@conductorcammon]

Glad to see Gerber making some compelling products!!!

[@drewpfeif5028]

Like to see all the new micarta. The blue jean micarta looks awesome. Put that on the fastball and you have a winner

[@stevengarcia2003]

Lmao Gerber: “it’s not gonna be your primary knife but in a pinch” 🤣🤣🤣

[@tocolee6127]

Exactly!

[@garyalensr]

I'm really digging some of the first couple knifes shown. The US made knife. I'll absolutely be getting the chopper at the beginning, My only grip is all the 7cr steel. I guess they do it to keep the cost down. All in all tho awesome blades. Good job Gerber. I'll be getting some of these tools

[@hunterglaspell5580]

Gary Allen I have use Gerber 7CR extensively and it holds an edge pretty close to any competitors 8cr minus Spydercos.

[@garyalensr]

@@hunterglaspell5580 aweeome, thank you for responding. I've heard decent things about 7cr steel. Ya talked me into and I thank you🤙🤙🤙

[@hunterglaspell5580]

Gary Allen you are welcome bud. It’s on my list as well and I’m getting it as soon as it drops. I’m excited

[@theedcguy0735]

My favorite Gerber Knife is the Profile, fixed blade. Bummed out they discontinued this blade. Great quality. It's a tank.

[@alexryherd9810]

Would love to see more than just 3 blades made in the US, kind of a bummer.

[@roliver7773]

Good job Dave and Gerber. Not usually a Gerber fan but that cleaver blade is calling me..

[@darksi226]

Great detail. Digging the flippers. Wish they would supply a high end steel on a fixed blade.

[@jamesharris1493]

The EBS system is practical and intelligent as well as the other system! Right on

[@MojaveLobo]

Maybe a weird question with all these knives, but anyone know what type of watch Karrson has on?

[@dolguldur4706]

Flatiron with d2 and micarta.yup..im in

[@gunnarjohnson9369]

S35 would be drool worthy

[@03_austindrake88]

The Sumo looks like it's going to be a really nice folder especially for the price. (MSRP $44)

[@christopherharpster9330]

I'm literally buying as soon as it comes on the market. I'm an axis lock junkie lol

[@christopherharpster9330]

@VA BEAR I've been told by Gerber they should expect to hit the market in June I think

[@edcnerd7660]

Dang okay! I see Gerber with the 20cv on the fastball that’s a bet!

[@joeyjones9041]

That burnt orange multitool would be the perfect EDC for me

[@fstompo]

WHEN IS THE FLAT IRON IN D2 GONNA BE OUT

[@BladeWalker77]

Gerber please add a wood saw on the multitool and I'll be very interested on it. The hummer is a very good idea in my opinion.

[@itaijohn]

David: Karrson: "Yeah..." 🤣 Great video. Keep up the good work

[@bokusimondesu]

After massaging my Ayako that came in yesterday, I did a flick opening and the framelock overlocked itself.... I hadn't even tried the blade yet... The profile of the open knife was just so luring to me. But...apparently not even the build quality one could expect, even from a budget knife.

[@markwhite9148]

Gerber -- amazing innovation. Nicely done!

[@captainskippy6622]

Haven felt the urge to by a Gerber in a while, but I want the Corkscrew tool now.

[@kuribo1]

Digging the Japanese style blade, those are good designs that work. Nice to see that Japanese blade designs are starting to get their light in the US market.

[@michaelmetler6315]

Loving Gerber this year 👍

[@aray9628]

Great designs but c’mon Gerber at least use 8cr on the budget stuff or just bump everything to D2 on the budget line. But looking like they’re really trying to make some changes and keep up with the rest of competition.👍

[@easyki84]

Gerber Killin it!

[@Rubeless]

Good stuff. This rep is great.

[@irvinangon8944]

I'm digging that multi tool

[@lessage760]

This was great sir lots of great tools there love it thanks

[@wallytaggart2612]

Really like the Principle...I'm fine with their 420....no issue with the strong arm and it'll keep the cost down!

[@kennyphelps1160]

They’re wanting $150 for that butterfly deal using 420 steel for god sake.

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Karrson is always great! One of the best reps for sure, him and David of we (formerly kizer). Love that fixblade and the sumo. Design-wise they punch above in my opinion.

[@joelvelazquez1892]

Thanks for asking about the steels.

[@hksjoshua]

Gerber did not think about their sheath for the gerber freeman guide been thinking about returning actually

[@chloehennessey6813]

I don’t carry Gerber because the steel usually sucks. Basically the only Gerber I’ve ever bought was two Gator Pros as gifts.

[@chrisb9345]

Increase the price by 20 bucks and use D2 or 01 steel. The MOV variants are mostly garbage.

[@5shotsr611]

Gerber should make an OTF

[@richarda3764]

I love all of the Micarta use, but not when it's only half of the handle. When half of the knife looks one way and the other half looks totally different, it is not to my taste.

[@StarDarkAshes]

Prybrid is cool too!

[@motaman8074]

Wow, gonna finally get a Gerber

[@johnruff7417]

I need the double down!!!

[@JhaeMo777]

Make the “ARMBAR” in a TSA approved model please....I hate not having anything when I travel.

[@vincenardella9366]

I'm liking Gerber's new direction and line up. More USA made knives and even imports are not bad price with better designs. They have finally moved away from the $19 dollar survival theme. The sumo design was new and interesting for $36 on knife center. Welcome back Gerber!

[@Sleepwalkyr]

"..I love that"

[@Andromacky]

So what's the upgrade on the ultimate knife? Looks like it removed the bear Grylls logo, changed the colour , and grip? Still a cheap steal. They had the bear Grylls pro knife.

[@conductorcammon]

Can we agree to never use steel with a "Cr or Mov" in it ever again?

[@dantem5228]

Dang. I love "Cr"ucible's steel though. :(

[@diegocastro-pn2we]

I only have a Pilar so... no

[@MrGhostface213]

Any of them California legal ?

[@gheeshin]

Yeah!

[@patriotrob7066]

Damn Gerber!!! Right on. I only have the strongarm and love it. But looks like I'll have alot more Gerbs now...!! Ps as long as they dont have the initials BG🙄

[@OsamaBinDarrel]

Enough with the 7cr 😣 I'm not asking for 204p just a little D2 or VG10 . I want the kettle bell so bad but I just don't want any more 7cr 😒

[@dantem5228]

I see Gerber way further ahead in 5 years time.

[@dantem5228]

@Jimmy Jim Nah. Already last and this year they have started using D2, S30v and 20cv. 5 more years and there will still be cheap steels, but more variety with higher quality materials

[@bigrube420ify]

I like all these new options from gerber. Thumbs up fellas

[@navigator4709]

You should make more knife in 440 c....😇

[@theblake5356]

420HC.... again. Really? Until Gerber starts to offer higher quality steels(3V, Elmax, M390, etc....) on their fixed blades, it’s hard to take them serious.

[@stiglagerfeld9151]

The Blake & 7cr?!? Are they trying to use up their old stock of low grade steel or something? I hope they will finally realise that this is killing some of their better designs. I’m glad that they’re finally doing the Flatiron in D2.

[@hunterglaspell5580]

The Blake elmax and m390 would be terrible for a bushcraft blade. Number one hard to field sharpen, number two, being that both are up their with being the hardest steels on the market, and how companies are inconsistent with their heat treat if both, and the cost putting out a lot of people’s reach, not to mention anything over 62 hrc would be tits to hammer on in the field. Sure it may survive a few trips but which do you think is going to snap first? Something RC 55-57 or 60-63. 3v I can understand cause it’s designed for that but damn what are you smoking.

[@hazetheherd2214]

Awesome 😊

[@jamesholt3614]

Pretty cool...how would we survive without the word "COOL"

[@urbanairgunner6402]

Don't be a hater but I've always liked Gerber for the money. But I agree not my primary but still great entry level product's. Just subscribed.

[@mantiscity]

I have a little Gerber knife. It said it had 25 yr warranty. The thing broke, and they refuse to fix.

[@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg]

25 year warranty! (Warranty void if product is broken)

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

I'd love some more Autos

[@BobBarkerScientificHeretic]

Very Nice!

[@JAYRODDC117]

Cool blades. Are they all still drowned in loctite? Because I nearly trashed my flatiron trying to service it.

[@operatormac7960]

Me: I’ll just skip through the good parts of the video Video: You’ll watch all of me *Gerber is looking good!*

[@shadythereok]

Gerber fastball flipper cleaver, $144 good gawd

[@kennyphelps1160]

Yeah exactly especially when you’re getting 420 HC garbage steel.

[@jarredsumey]

@@kennyphelps1160 lol its 20cv steel

[@AvengingFade]

It would be a much better tool if the driver locked as well, why make everything else lock and not the driver bit??

[@droptuned83]

My first thought was exactly that. The driver is going to need a lock more than anything.

[@shadythereok]

Know I understand why knife center knives went up in price a bit, they had to pay this fella's per diem at shot show 2020

[@duncnz3129]

I prefer Gerbers over any other commercially made knives , I have been using Gerber's for 50 or so years and have performed thousands of necropsies on animals from the size of a rabbit to as big as a horse . In my experience any thing which clips on to a belt can clip off the belt and iI will only use sheaths with a flap over butt and a belt loop . Although well made I think most of those knives are made for dreamers who have never been in the bush (jungle) and probably never will be . A proper knowledge of the anatomy of the animal one is cutting up negates the need for a cleaver or bone saw . Ones thumb and fist are all that are need to remove the hide off a deer /elk once the opening cuts have been made .

[@tocolee6127]

Honestly, there is better steel. However, if you know knives and how to sharpen them then 7 will suffice. Great hunting packages! However, my $275 ULU is a BEAST! I gave up on Gerber until this review!

[@BigShaneGillis]

David C Anderson is the host we don’t deserve...

[@ericblade8330]

Ben Simmons he is too kewel🔪🔪🤙🚂🇺🇸

[@owwillis]

Make Gerber great again! Get rid of the 7CR! D2 at the minimum!

[@blindmelonlemonjello]

I wanna go to a bush craft meet up with david c anderson. He seems very cool.

[@ericblade8330]

blindmelonlemonjello he would’nt last 1(one) nite in the woods. Also he prolly use a benchmade. Ugh. Probly be cool🔪if no axis lock.🔪🔪🚂🇺🇸

[@alisadigout5617]

7cr laid to rest already

[@cha5]

Bowies are my babies.

[@davidgiles9751]

That Gerber Ultimate is effectively an unbranded Bear Grylls Ultimate survival knife. Can you say cheesy - I'll pass. If Gerber wanted to up it a bit, they could have used the Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro as the base design instead.

[@whatfreedom7]

Well the bushcraft knife was nice.

[@docbarlow240]

Kershaw's cheap steel is much better than Gerber's cheap steel. Last gerber I purchased was in the 90's.

[@adamsowers8957]

No dice on the Chinese mystery metal.

[@edcgearpocketknife]

They need to get away from 7cr13mov

[@navigator4709]

Completely agree....

[@kevinmorrice]

looks like gerbers getting back in the game with some decent knives, theres only a handful of good gerbers but on that table pretty much everything is good

[@Nightwolf866]

sumo fail on steel. would buy in d2 or s30v

[@ericblade8330]

Nightwolf866 do what i did; code4, and the 154 gerber Edict. C/S $70, Ger; $59.00 at smkw. Or the Ger Gator, $ 38.00 154cm

Without reading the comments I already know most will be about 7CRMOV
