I've been looking for one of these Gerber BG paracord knives for a while now. Finally found one at a price that I could justify.
Very happy with this find but I'm definitely gonna change out the paracord for black.
I do not understand why there are so many knives being offered with paracord in the handle. I just dont get it.
I understand that it is cheaper than any real handle material, and can make for a passable handle. But to me that just screams that it is a blade that the company did not want to invest anything into the handle materials and make a 'good' knife.
I did hear something about 'If you find yourself in a 'survival' situation, you can use the cord...' My thinking reply... How many feet of cord is on that handle? I doubt a whole lot. and are you ever in a situation that turn into a 'survival' situation?
I am not trying to disparage the knife or anything, I am just ignorant of the 'Why'...
