Gerber just announced an update to their staple fixed blade knife: The StrongArm Camp is the bushcraft edition: It’s smaller and geared more toward processing wood, carving tools.
The quick specs:
Overall Length: | 8.98″ |
Blade Length: | 4.1″ |
Blade Steel: | 420HC |
Handle Material: | GFN w/ rubber overmold |
Sheath: | Plastic w/ nylon back |
Made in: | Portland, OR |
They’ve kept the overall look and materials of the design, so that rubbery grip is still there. But they’ve adjusted some of the lines to pull back from the tactical-centric theme of the original:
- Removed the handguards to allow for a more comfortable grip choking up on the blade,
- Added a sharpening choil,
- Oriented the handle more forward to add better grip and leverage.
The sheath design is the same: ambidextrous, MOLLE compatible, with a modular system that can be adjusted for horizontal, vertical, and drop-leg carry.
The price is also staying the same, so the StrongArm Camp is staying neatly under the $100 mark.
It’s available now, with a grey handle and a stonewash finish blade.
