eBay with United Outdoors has the Gerber 31-000751 Bear Grylls SURVIVAL Ultimate Knife for $39 with free shipping. Features a full tang partially serrated drop point fixed blade, and the sheath is integrated with a fire starter and diamond sharpener. Amazon also has it for same price.
Good for cutting para-cord you get tangled up in during night time neighborhood tactical toilet papering operations...
* ½ Serrated High Carbon Stainless Steel Drop Point Blade - Ideal for edge retention and cutting rope * Ergonomic Textured Rubber Grip - Maximizes comfort and reduces slippage * Stainless Steel Pommel - At base of handle for hammering * Emergency Whistle - Integrated into lanyard cord * Nylon Sheath includes fire starter, land to air rescue instructions, diamond sharpener, and Priorities of Survival pocket guide.
I think Dave, being the contrarian he is, would recommend he drinks the camera man's pee during an emergency. Not sure why Bear didn't offer the thirsty camera man a swig instead of just standing there teasing him by describing how it tastes...
He uses a variety of knives on his show, but never this cheap thing. Poor steel, poor construction. In the same price category the "Light My Fire Swedish Fire Knife" is a much better option. Better to spend a bit more and get the one he has used on several episodes, the SOG. Seal Pup, a fantastic knife you will never manage to break.
This is not all that bad for the price. Yes this 7CR17MOV grade of Chinese steel favors corrosion resistance over edge retention, but that and the blade thickness and full tang make it unlikely to break...it's not a flimsy knife. Here's a review where it's put through its paces:
How do I make the baby stop crying hun? Just give him / her a Gerber Bear Grylls SURVIVAL Ultimate Knife.

Does this glow in the dark so I can see what I'm killing?
zzyzx. Or you can pee on your t-shirt and wear it on your head like a turban to keep the hot suburban sun off you.
