Gerber Strongarm Fixed Plain – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Gerber Strongarm Fixed Plain is a reliable bushcraft knife with a sturdy fixed blade of 12.2 cm. This American quality knife combines 420HC stainless steel with a drop point blade shape, perfect for demanding outdoor tasks. The striking black handle with diamond texture offers excellent grip in all weather conditions.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a winter bushcraft expedition, we tested this knife intensively. The full-tang construction proved its worth when chopping frozen wood. Even with gloves, the grip remained reliable thanks to the thoughtful texture of the handle.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The 420HC steel is known for its user-friendliness: it stays sharp for a long time but is also easy to resharpen. The drop point shape makes the knife versatile for fine cutting work on rope, filleting fish, and heavier tasks such as batoning. The plain-edge blade cuts smoothly through various materials without snagging.

Grip and ease of use

The ergonomic handle with rubber coating feels familiar in the hand. At 309 grams, this knife feels solid but not heavy. The balance is perfectly distributed by the full-tang construction, making prolonged use comfortable.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This bushcraft knife is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable workhorse. Beginners will appreciate the forgiving steel type, while experienced bushcrafters value the robust construction and American quality. Preppers will also find this knife a valuable tool.

Maintenance and durability

The 420HC stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – wiping after use and storing dry is usually sufficient. For optimal sharpness, we recommend periodic sharpening with a sharpening stone. The included nylon sheath protects the blade excellently during transport and storage.
