    To be honest, that thing held up pretty damn good. Would the real one do as well? After all smacking that with a hammer that has a harder steel would break any knife.

    Yea,that make sense.. but ,on the other side,for example.. me, personally,using that "fake" one last 5years, pretty much for everything, cutting, chopping,even digging.. bought it for same reason,to see do I like ergonomic and shape of knife, didn't expect at all it will survive few months..😀 there is also other side of medal : I live in eastern Europe (Balkan, Serbia) ,here is average salary around 500euros,and this"fake" knife cost around 30euros. And for pretty much same amount of money,there is alot of blacksmiths here who can make same shape knife ,but much better than original 😀

    Imagine Amazon flooding the market with knockoffs; they have. $48 and it's exactly like this fake one. Logo to far forward. Edge goes all the way back. Sheath belt hole broke as I ran a belt through it to carry horizontal. The box is narrow and on the back mine says made in Portlamd Oregon. Amazon uses Gerber's video in the ad for the knockoffs. Video is of a real one. Sent back. Why does Gerber ignore this? Oh. They all have the same serial numbers. Well they use two different numbers on all the junk

    I got a fake and I like the reverse button position! So who cares if the snaps are black or silver? The black can probably scratch off!! You can heat up the plastic on the tab on the sheath and press it down for a few seconds. Much better retention. Problem solved! Why did you say it was pure garbage? I didn't hear you point out any bad points actually!Mine is VERY sharp. SO WHAT if the sheath is longer. Does it need to be?? No!

    I can tell by looking at the blade that you have a knockoff. At 15:40 you can see a crease where the edge curve up towards the handle. It should be a smooth rounded curve. I'm not going to say the original would have done better...just saying that you knife there is not the real deal. Thanks for posting.

    Well, to be fair, the maker labeled the knife as being made in China, so a serious knife buyer would have known it was a fake. I have a genuine strongarm and its pretty darn sturdy, but if smacked with a metal hammer, it could very well get damaged (though perhaps not completely snap so quickly). The question is could any knife priced $14-15 hold up any better to your test regardless of where its made? I suspect like all people who buy named products at a super cheap price, be it handbags or knives, its because they're ignorant...or can't afford the real deal but want the status of seemingly owning something nice. Can't generate too much outrage over a normal human failing....but like anything else, its always "buyer beware..."

    Oh...I misheard..thought you said it was labeled "made in China" on the box. But if it was stamped in the USA, then clearly that is a blatant misrepresentation and illegal. Not that that ever stopped the fakers. Unfortunately, it also doesn't stop unscrupulous people from buying up the fakes and peddling them at flea markets for $40 or so. The resemblance is close enough and the knife is superficially tough enough, that it will likely fool many casual buyers. These fakes have even found their way into legit platforms like Amazon (though Amazon will allow buyers to return it within 30 days). The only way to seriously reduce the flow of fake strongarms in the country is to get the govt to go after outfits like TEMU and get them to accurately label their products or face civil penalties. And of course, doing what you're doing which is warning the public...

I can't help to think at some level your video has promoted these fakes. They are a breach of law, Gerber owns their reputation and trademarks etc. It doesn't matter if they perform better or worse even if they are cheaper. These should not be bought by law abiding people even if we can. Let the manufacturers of these knives create their own design and compete in the market using their own name and not profit from deceiving ignorant consumers.
