Product description

Gerber has been making survival knives for the US Military since 1968. The Strong-arm Fixed Blade carries on our legacy of tough-as-hell fixed blade knives for combat and survival applications. With a sheath that can be mounted in a variety of ways, this knife offers reliable use whether on-duty or off. Featuring a serrated edge, full tang 420HC blade with black ceramic coating, the Strong-arm was designed around the fundamentals of military survival training. Obtain a solid grip on the knife in all conditions with its diamond-texture rubberized handle. The striking pommel positioned at the base of the handle functions to break through hard surfaces for effective rescue operations, and ceramic coating on the blade offers subtle use through low visual profile, as well as preventing corrosion for long life of the blade. The Strong Arm's modular sheath system is as important as the knife itself. With the sheath's snap-together components, the operator can mount the knife vertically on MOLLE, horizontally on a standard 1.75" tactical belt, or in a traditional drop-leg belt mount fashion. The Strong-arm Fixed Blade is designed and built in Portland, Oregon.

User questions & answers

Question:	The name says high carbon stainless steel
Answer:	Hi Thomas - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - The StrongArm from Gerber has a blade made from 420HC (High Carbon) Stainless Steel. Did you have a particular question regarding it? I'm happy to help if you do.
Question:	Do they all say Portland Oregon
Answer:	Mine does
Question:	will the sheath attach to my cowboy boots
Answer:	The sheath is designed to be used as a boot knife if you use 1" straps to to either strap it around your leg or the outside of the boot. The lower portion of the sheath is formed plastic and the knife clips into it; so however you strap it down, it needs to be secure otherwise when you pull on the knife the sheath will pull up with it delaying the draw of your knife. It does not come with the straps.
Question:	can you carry the knife scout-style with the factory sheath
Answer:	If that means horizontal on a belt or strap, then yes. There's more info on the Gerber site. A couple of decent YouTube videos also.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the blade and handle lengths? What is the blade width
Answer:	Overall length is 8.25" and blade length is 4"
Question:	what are the dimensions of the knife itself
Answer:	4" blade, approx 4" handle
Question:	Is this knife made in USA? Thanks
Answer:	Nope. Still a decent blade for the money.
Question:	What kind of steel is it
Answer:	As noted, 5Cr15MoV. It's a Chinese stainless steel roughly on par with 440A or AUS-6--one of the more highly stain-resistant, but generally overly-soft and cheapest steels on the market. A good heat treat can make it decent, but it's chemical composition will not allow it to ever be a spectacular performer. It's also the Chinese equivalent of a German steel popular in German cutlery, but like I said, there's only so much a maker can do with it, even with good heat treat protocols...A factor I doubt Gerber can or cares to control much with their overseas blade production. Churn them out fast, sell them cheap.It makes me sad that Gerber abandoned the S30V steel, USA-made stag-handled version, which was, in my opinion, one of the best hunting knives made. I assume that Freeman is unhappy to have his name associated with something Gerber apparently no longer cares much about. Although the design, hasn't changed, the steel on this will need to be sharpened probably 3-5 times more frequently. S30V is a steel designed by Crucible Metallurgy from the ground up specifically for cutlery. Crucible makes use of a powdered metallurgy technique that produces much smaller, more highly refined, more evenly distributed carbides throughout in the steel's crystalline structure. That technique paired with a good steel recipe, and the cryogenic heat treatment protocols makes it one of the new breed of so-called "super steels" that are popular with knife enthusiasts, including CPM154 (a powdered metallurgy version of the popular 154 CM steel), 3V, CPM-D2 (a new take on a classic tool steel), and S35VN from Crucible, Elmax from Bohler-Uddeholm, and HAP40 from Hitachi.
