Hey there, fellow outdoor freaks!
Welcome back to Camp With Me! Today, we’re diving into one of my absolute favorite pieces of gear—a true camping and survival essential: the Gerber StrongArm knife. I bought this knife around five years ago, and since then, it’s been my trusty companion on countless adventures. Whether it’s been ten trips or a hundred (I’ve lost count), the StrongArm has never let me down.
So, let me break down why I believe this is the best camping knife money can buy.
Let’s start with my favorite feature—the grip.
This knife has an outstanding grip. The handle is rubberized, providing a secure hold even in the trickiest conditions—whether your hands are wet, oily, or muddy. It's incredibly well balanced, and designed to make sure you always have full control, so you can safely use it without worrying about it slipping. The grip comes in two colors - black and coyote brown.
Durability? The StrongArm is built to last.
This heavy-duty knife can handle the toughest tasks, making it an ideal choice for camping and outdoor adventures. In the five years I’ve owned it, I’ve used it for just about everything: cutting food, splitting wood, sharpening sticks, cleaning fish, and even digging holes in the ground. After all that, the blade is still going strong, with no significant wear or damage.
Speaking of the blade, let’s talk specs.
The Gerber StrongArm features a blade made from 420HC stainless steel, offering excellent durability and edge retention. The blade is a full tang, which means it’s solid from top to bottom, and it comes with a fine edge that delivers clean cuts across all sorts of materials, as well as a serrated edge near the hilt. No matter what you’re slicing, the StrongArm handles it with ease.
Versatility & Portability:
The knife also comes with a highly resistant, weather-proof sheath that includes multiple carrying options. Whether you’re strapping it to your belt or attaching it to your pack, you’ll always have this knife within reach.
Quick rundown of the specs:
Overall Length: 9.8 inches
Blade Length: 4.8 inches
Weight: 9.2 ounces

The Gerber StrongArm stands out due to its excellent design, functionality, and durability. If you’re serious about your outdoor gear, this knife is a must-have. It’s reliable, versatile, and built to withstand whatever you throw at it.
