Gear Review: Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife

You can't go too far into bushcraft without a little gear talk. Personally I enjoy hearing what other wilderness survival enthusiasts are using these days.

My first gear review is about the main knife I use the Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife. For specifics about the knife, look it up on http://www.gerbergear.com/index.php

Pros-

• Easy to sharpen.


• Holds an extremely sharp edge.


• Strong blade. Trust me, it's taken a pounding.


• Good grip. I've used it in the rain and was still able to keep a hold on it.


• Works well with a fire steel.

Cons-

• The Softgrip handle started peeling after using it for only a few weeks.


• The handle and blade have started coming apart.


• Slightly larger than I would prefer for gutting and skinning animals.

I know knives can be an extremely controversial subject in the bushcraft world. This was just my opinion and I'm no expert.
