My review of the Bear Grylls Gerber Survival Sharpener BLUF, (Bottom Line Up Front) it is good enough for a Bugout bag but not some premium sharpening tool. For the I paid for it, NIB (New In Box), it does the job of being a field sharpening tool for emergency/bugout and survival purposes which is what it is labeled as. It could stand a few improvements like making both diamond grit coated sharpening rods rotate (only the small one does) as well as making the sheath into a handle extension but otherwise is good for keeping your knife sharp. THIS IS NOT A BENCH SHARPENING TOOL. The diamond grit will not last forever, the draw through sharpener is only a temporary sharpening implement. I recommend a good sharpening stone for your bench along with a good sharpening steel and a leather and canvas strop. Since all of that is quite heavy for a Bugout bag or rucksack, this tool along with a good double sided whet stone will have to do.

Bear Grylls Gerber Ultimate KnifeTest, Equip 2 Endure
Bear Grylls Gerber Ultimate KnifeTest, Equip 2 Endure Video Clips. Duration : 23.90 Mins.
Well, I can say that Gerber has fixed the problem the the pommel, but the serration constituted a big issue for me personally. For .00 MSRP, (I paid ) you get a Whistle, Sharpening Stone, Fire Starter, Knife, and a Sheath that I believe is a step backwards from the LMF2. While some people are going to hate this knife others will love it. I say, it was not bad. I think if we dumped the serrations and focused on something more rugged to include the sheath we would be at a better place, but there are a lot of options for this price point.
