It seems that everywhere you look at these days you see ads for some new type of survival knife. Survival knife ads have taken over nearly all of the outdoor magazines and now they're creeping into a lot of the websites and blogs about outdoor activities. Fortunately, the Gerber Prodigy Survival knife stands out among the mountain. But does this mean that it is the survival knife you need?
The fact that there are so many knives on the market today makes it extremely hard for the beginner, and even the experienced survivor in many cases, to determine which survival knife best fits their needs.
On the other hand, it can be a good thing to have so many knives to choose from. Nowadays people are choosing survival knives for camping, hunting and general outdoor use. Many are also doing double duty as tactical knives in the Military and Law Enforcement.
The Gerber Prodigy is not a flashy knife. It comes with a ho hum nylon sheath. Some call it a combat knife and I guess technically it could be used for such, as could any knife. But where this knife sets itself apart from others is its thick, stout blade. One you handle it, you'll determine quickly that this knife has some steel behind it. It makes short work of cutting and chopping jobs.
The but of the knife has a steel 'glass' breaker. This steel breaker also has a hole in it that you can thread a lanyard through.
The particular knife I have has a partially serrated edge. In times past, I wasn't a fan of serrated blades. It seemed that knives that had them were cheap. Nowadays, you can find knives with serrated as well as plain blades in the same model line. I highly recommend serrated blades these days because of their exceptional cutting power.
Billy Bob lives in Lousianna and has used knives for as long as he can remember. After he purchased the Gerber Prodigy survival knife, he knew he'd found a keeper because he's not fond of so called Rambo type ' survival knives '.
