So I was flipping trough the television and came across Man vs. Wild. I Started watching and to my surprise, he pulled out a sheath I thought to be familiar.
Bear actually used his 'Ultimate Survival Knife' for his show. I chuckled and kept watching. I then remembered why I had stopped watching his show in the first place and turned the tv off.

Some of you may not care, I found it very surprising
This episode was 'Arizona Sky Islands'

If anyone else gutted it out to see if he used it ever again would be appreciated. I just do not care for his show. He's very capable and has done some very incredible things, don't get me wrong, but I can't stand his 'style' I guess...I couldn't watch anymore. :barf:

-Cheers
 
Hahahaha I'm watching it now too. He's using it a lot. I'm curious to see if he's going to use it on the premiere tonight at 9. We shall see.
 
i like these survival shows,its better than the crap on vh1!
 
I like Bear, he is easily the most entertaining of all the "survival" shows, now if I actually want to learn something I look up old Ron Hood or Ray Mears vids on the 'tube.

My favorite of all of these is Canterbury and Lundin though, just because their styles are so different that you'd have to be either a thorough professional or a retard not to learn something from those two.
 
It would almoast be foolish not for him to use his own knives. I think more people would make fun of him if he didnt. I used to see him use a gerber lmf 2 so its like he is downgrading but its not like he is in real trouble. He is informative though.

I'm just curious which of you brain surgeons has used the same knife in a survival situation (or at all) and had it fail. The guy, like it or not, is smart. He could probably survive with a 2.0 mini mart knife as well, so why not use a decent knife that he can promote and make more money.
 
oh yeah, and he has a tv show that has to be making him millions too. And a contract with Gerber making him millions. And you can survive drinking your own pee. Any of you aholes have the cajones to do that on national tv. BTW, did I mention he makes milliions? You guys are suckers who don't get it. He gets it.

Please let me know! Like I said, he's a very accredited man, I just don't like the show.
I still prefer Dave and cody along with Les Stroud above all

Roger that!

And Jimh0220, I get it. I'm kind of jealous of the pee drinking man. All that money and he looks like he always has so much fun even when he's miserable. I've always liked the guy. And he's former SAS. That's legit.

Deep breaths my friend....deep breaths

Well, Mr. Bean makes millions too....
 
He probably makes more off of his Degree commercials than he does off the Gerber collaboration. Since Gerber itself "only" makes millions, I seriously doubt that they pay him millions for his name on a few of their products.
 
I didn't catch what knife he used tonight in the season premiere... kind of had my nose in the forums and wasn't paying close enough attention... oops.
 
I'm watching it right now, the Arizona desert episode. The parachute buggy was hilarious.

I don't know why so many of you are hating on the guy, his show is entertaining, and if you look at some of the things he does.... you can't pay me enough to do them. And in my opinion, whatever he gets paid.... he's not getting paid enough. The guy is hardcore.
 
I doubt he makes millions either via Gerber. I am no knife maker, but some of the custom guys do make considerable money with royalties from knives made by CRKT and others. The more knives they make from your patterns, typically the more you make. So how much? I was told by one of the Graham Brothers (The Razel's) that they make about a new pickup a year in royalties a year of so ago, but some do much better. Since then, CRKT has added more of their knives. I would assume they do a bit better now.
 
You never see Bear use a knife in tonight's season premiere, but he gives Jake Gyllenhall one of his USK fixed blades.
