To be honest, that is a very unfair test. For a number of reasons. Not to defend the "Gryllis" knife again, but comparing it to a drop point, saber-ground knife in 3V (that's what it looked like to me), when the Grylls is hollow ground with a false edge and some mystery steel or budget SS, is kind of ludicrous. No to mention there was probably well over $100 price difference between these 2 knives at the time. They're not even in the same class. Plus, that is still not what the knife is designed for.
Now, I agree, Gerber brought it on themselves, using the Gryllis endorsement, shoddy quality, and slapping "Ultimate" on there, but that comparison is still ridiculous. My .02.
I'd concur with the above. A fair assessment.
Looking like the Pro can be had for under $65...I'd have to say for all you're getting in the system, that IS a good deal. If they had a non-BG branded version to appease all the haters, it would probably be much better received. I might just have to buy one now.
