Cool. Some of those were ones I looked at but couldn't find so thats an improvement. They are still at the base of the pile but looks like they're digging themselves out.

Do you store it open? That's what I do with my sog and the spring seems to do better. My friend who doesn't even oil hi hc knives keeps em closed and they're useless.
Ok good. Idk why anyone wouldn't.
I personally don't own a gerber anymore. Rid myself of all of em.
Oh yeah I know. Same with me less gerber and exotic brands (ok fine I really don't have much that retails over $150
but...I have variety is my point) I'm beginning a collection.

I have a U.S. made Gerber multi tool that I carry and use every day. It works fine for everything I need it to do. I especially like the quick one handed deployment of the pliers, because that is the tool I use most often. Then the screw drivers. Never use the blade, I have my EDC for that.
That being said, none of their knives really do it for me. I have owned (and still have them) Gerber knives in the past, but found the quality not up to par.

For the price I'd rather have a sog multi tool. Some of gerber's are pricey.
How much did you pay for the 600?
Ahh cool! That's about the only thing I thank him for
he ruined my Christmas with the gun ban scare!Cool! Actually I thought you were the vet, but cool.
What do you think of gerber's bear grills? I personally see them as awful.
I have the full size fixed blade and both size parangs. The ultimate fixed blade would be better if it was plain edge. Ive battoned alot of wood with it and the serrations are all ive been able to damage. I like the parangs. I must have got good ones cause ive not been able to break them yet.
Cool. I'm glad yours held up. My gator jr (no not a bg but a machete) busted first 10 mins
It won't. My advice is return it. I now own a sogfari 21" and it is 10x better. Just use the saw when cutting large logs. Don't chop unless straight down. Angle will warp blade.

The new ultimate pro is upgraded a lot. The biggest is the full tang and plain blade. They took the advice of a lot of users and upgraded to a usable and possibly a good knife. I would own it but I have other knives on my list I am looking at first.
Most people are put off by the orange. For what its designed for, getting out of a survival situation, I think it works its purpose well. Its not designed to be concealed.
I started liking the ultimate pro when I saw the video on YouTube of David from ultimatesurvivaltips beat it over 70 times with a sledge hammer into a log. If it wasn't tough before it certainly seems like it is now.
