One a Bola, the other a Kukri, these are big knives not your average working knife. I have put two beefy knives over the last year to the test. Though with Bear using a variety of knives in the different survival scenario’s, one could gather some good information about how they hold up. Read my article on the survival knife here on the Newsletter for valuable information about the type of survival knife you want to invest in. I’m not big on folding knives for a survival tool. He does use Gerber (Lmf11) knives sometimes, as well as a Swiss Army folding knife in the Alps episode. As far as I know Bear does not have a contract with any knife company to showcase their knives.

If you're a fan of Man Vs Wild, then you will enjoy scrolling through the large and long comment section here. The whole gig was much fun, and I met many great folks who helped make these episodes a success. Including the producers and staff were wonderful to work with. I've written that my whole experience with Bear Grylls and everyone on the show. Such as the boots, shoes, pack, canteen, or anything else, (except his underwear of course), he uses.

The following humongous comment section on this post below is a testament to the shows appeal. They wanted my expertise as a survival instructor and to help with writing the script. One spring day began my consultant work with Man vs Wild and a mob of film shooting Brits.
