GERBER. Bear Grylls Paracord knife

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.

    okay...

    It seems everybody is in on it except me. 

    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'...
