I have a Bear Grylls Parang machete that came in a survival "kit" I was given as a gift. I beat the snot out of it and used it all summer as a yard tool and to my surprise it has been fantastic. And man, that Parang can really chop.
For far less you can get a Mora or one of the many awesome budget knives from Cold Steel. So, no thanks.
Apparently the Gerber Big Rock isn't so bad though, if Nutnfancy's testing is to be believed. I'd still rather a Mora Companion or a Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite.

Actually.... Bear Grylls never used/uses those orange and black "things" in any of those shows which are now in re-runs.
You should look more closely, he stopped using the Bayley knife a while ago and has indeed been using "those orange and black things" in Man Vs Wild.
Never saw those orange "Grylls" knives once in all the shows I've ever seen.
Do you have a particular segment or show in mind that he uses an orange "Grylls" knife, I'd like to see it.
Additionally, he uses a British made BCB canteen, not the Chinese "Grylls" canteen with no gasket in the screw down cap so the water eventually leaks out... it comes with the 'Cooking Cup' which have plastic coated handles that melt off as soon as you boil water in it.
