Product description

Using sticks and stones is one way to get things done around camp, but the Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife is a lot more efficient. Knife designer Bill Harsey constructed this fixed blade knife with a full tang for strength, and the durable fiberglass-infused handle features a Softgrip overmold for ergonomic grasp. Ol' Bill coupled the Big Rock's strong point with plenty of belly (deeply curved slicing surface), so it's ideal for cutting long hours without fatigue. This large knife has a hand guard and a lanyard hole, and comes with a nylon sheath.

Amazon.com

Originally designed by Bill Harsey as a hunting knife, the Gerber Big Rock has become a popular choice as an all-purpose, fixed blade knife that's great for bringing along on hunting, fishing, and camping trips. The full-tang, drop-point blade is made of 7Cr17MoV stainless steel and has a fine edge, while the ergonomic, glass-filled nylon handle is covered with a textured rubber overmold. The Big Rock includes a nylon sheath, and the lanyard hole at the butt end is compatible with a standard 550 nylon cord. The Big Rock has a 4.5-inch blade length and an overall length of 9.5 inches. Easily pocketable, it weighs 6.4 ounces. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife is GREAT!

June 23, 2011

I received my new Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife today in the mail, the date delivery was promised. I was anxious to open the package. The knife is a little larger than I expected, although not much; and I love the size and heft of it. I have some combination plain and serrated edged knives, but this time I wanted a good durable plain edge. This knife fits the bill! The knife arrived in a very sharp condition already, so I did not touch it yet with a sharpener. I tood it outside (between rain showers) today and cut some vines and both green and dead tree branches and some poison ivy. Then I decided to try splitting some seasoned small logs and gently at first, I pounded the back of the blade with another small log and split the first with little effort. The knife did not evidence any harm from that. I wiped it off good and sprayed it with a little silicone and put it back in the sheath. I don't see a thing wrong with the sheath that came with it; albeit, I would like to have had a way to tie down the lower part so that I can mount it on my leg and keep it from lifting up at the bottom when carrying the knife on my belt when drawing the knife. All and all, I am very impressed with this knife and think it will handle a survival situation if need be. I think this knife deserves 5 stars. I think for the money it cannot be beat. Buy one, you will NOT regret doing so. Dan, from the hills of SE Ohio.

Big Rock for the Buck!

June 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

First off, I'd like to say that when I first grabbed this knife and cut it out of it's clamshell, I was blown away. As much as I want to refer to this knife as a poorman's ESEE, I have to refrain and give it all the dignity it deserves. If you happen to drop the hammer on one of these and get a chance to hold one, you will notice that it means serious business. They didn't call this one the "Big Rock" for no reason. Go on YouTube and see for yourself. These knives have had the bejeezus beat out of them and they are tanks!

On to my impressions!!! When I first picked this knife up, I realized immediately why it didn't get anything under 4-star reviews on Amazon and other online stores. The heft, grip, and weight combined make this a serious contender in the camping, hunting, and survival world.

Features Include:

New age Gerber clamshell packaging allows you to see what you are buying through crystal clear plastic.

The sheath get's a lot of criticism because of its looks, but being the form & function person that I am, my opinion is the following; It does what it's supposed to and nothing else: protect the knife and last long. Durable Gerber nylon with hard plastic insert that protects the blade. Snap strap ensures you will not lose the Big Rock.

Full tang goodness with exposed pommel featuring a paracord-friendly hole.

The knife does not want to leave your hand with it's rubbery texture. Amazing ergonomics!

Lasting Impressions:

You don't need my word to know that this knife will not let you down. You do not need to pick it up and feel it's epic robustness to know that it's built for the toughest tasks. All I am going to say is that for less than thirty bucks, I can have a knife that I can depend on for any situation. The Big Rock can be described as a go-to knife for any situation. Gerber 440HC with some awesome heat treating put this knife in a very high category for me. Get your hands on one and this review will not do it enough justice, it's just that good. Now go and see for yourself!

Great overall value. Good tool. Poor sheath.

March 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a great value at around $25 for the non-serrated. I definitely wouldn't pay more than that unless Gerber came up with a better sheath, and even then maybe not. The sheath sucks, but that is typical of any in this price range. It would probably double the cost of the knife to upgrade the sheath. Still, kind of disappointing. I can make due with the sheath it comes with, but will poke around bins at flea markets and pawn shops, etc, for something that fits. The knife came to me sharp enough to do anything with. I didn't try to shave with it, but that's why I have a razor. The steel seems good- it has held an edge well, seems to resist corrosion reasonably (but don't just leave it in your tackle box), and is easy enough to sharpen. The knife seems well balanced, I like the length, and overall it seems very durable. I do like the grips, but worry a little about long term durability. With heavy, survival type abuse (like you see armchair survivalist doing), or possibly even being lashed onto the outside of a pack, I could see the grips becoming damaged and eventually needing replacement, especially if subjected to intense sunlight regularly. The handle will likely need replacement much sooner than if it were made from a harder material. At this price, though, the steel is worth it. All in all, it is "a good beater knife," as another reviewer wrote. I won't be gentle with this one, and I won't really care if it gets too thrashed. I use a knife every single day, spending over 100 days a year in the backcountry, and another several months traveling developing countries. Knives are tools, and I will be using this one quite a bit this year. I expect it to perform well in it's intended duty as a solid, easy to sharpen utility blade. Bottom line: great value for a decent blade.
