Because the price is about 208 US-Dollars in Europe. In the USA the same knife cost 49-59 US Dollars.

Thats called "price gouging"


And if you have to pay $208 for a bear knife, and I've got to pay $210 for a Bruks axe....... seriously.... I'll trade with you.

I think about 90 percent of the music we have on the radio these days is a scam also then. Because none of them are musicians and they are FORCING me to buy the shit and see the ads and everything else that my poor little mind can't resist.

As for the international exchange rate and money in general..that is an issue much larger than Gerber.

But it's a conspiratorial "scam" dude. Aint got nothing to do with common sense in purchasing and international monetary exchange!

It's not scam jeff, it's SKA, and that's old news, much less than 90%.

I'm going to go off now and try and find the bear stlyle MRE's, with salamander heads and piss juice boxes. I need to buy them because the TV told me to.

Funny you mention music on the radio...I realized a while back that many if not all of the (modern) songs played constantly on (alleged) Rock radio can be interchanged between bands and even entire genres. You can take a nickleback song and have Celine Dion sing it..and you woulden't know the difference in lyrics, structure..it's just sad. My local (alleged) Rock station has about 50 songs they just play over and over. Maybe four songs are good...but how many times can you hear Paranoid? Hell, now I just skip it when I put on the album..

Hey, this Gerber/Bear thread wasn't going anywhere special right?:D
 
Stelth, in all honesty, do you really enjoy just hating folks that don't fit your idea of being good?
 
As far as being a "scam" I guess if you think that Gerber and Bear Grylls are somewhat intentionally misleading consumers concerning the capabilities and quality of the knife, then "scam" could be an appropriate word. I don't think I am ready to use that term. I have not used the Gerber/Grylls knife, only held one in my hand. A client and I got to talking, and said he bought one for his son (I am pretty sure the son is in his 20's, if it matters) and had it in his truck. He brought it into my vet clinic at my request, still in the plastic. After looking at it, I showed him my ESEE-4DT I had in my office. Interesting reaction on his part. He pulled out his own folder, cut open the Gerber packaging, and held it next to my 4. In less than 10 seconds he asked me where I got the 4, stuck the Gerber back in the packaging, and gave me a sincere thank you for showing him my knife. I can not tell you with certainty, but based upon his reaction and my relationship with him (first name basis, professional) I expect him to return the Gerber and order an ESEE for his son. My initial impression of the Gerber was disappointment. To be fair, I have 3 other Gerbers, 2 folders that are EDC and have been pleased with, and an LMF II that I feel is somewhat lacking, but definitely better than the Grylls knife(which, granted, I only held in my hand for about 10 seconds.) This is just my impression and opinion, take it for what it is worth. Probably nothing!:thumbup:
 
Whether it fits the definition or not, I just don't understand where the hate comes from.
 
I didn't realize this was so serious. I thought the pics were funny and others would enjoy them.

Well Stelth is such a good guy and outdoorsman that he has lots of knife companies lined up to offer him deals, but he is just waiting to reveal his ultimate survival knife to the world cause he is smarter than everyone else.

But first he is on a covert ops mission to rid the world of SCAMS!!
 
Anytime someone starts hating on another knife company around here I take it serious. The way I look at any product is if you don't like the company or person endorsing it simply don't buy from them. The Bear jokes are funny to me and I don't agree with his show but I also realize it is entertainment. I simply don't watch it. The Gerber knife may be pure junk or it may be decent but to call the whole thing a scam is just not right on this forum.
