It’s a great survival knife and I carry one on most of my camping and hunting trips. There’s not much about the Gerber Prodigy survival knife that I would change except that I would add a drain hole at the bottom of the sheath. *It came with a very secure sheath that can be worn horizontally or in the drop down style. *The handle has a good grip even when wet. *It has a nicely squared edge on the back of the blade that works well with a firesteel. In the short time I’ve had it I have given it a beating and it’s still in good shape. If you need to do this I would have it in the sheath instead of holding the blade for what I think are obvious reasons.Īnother thing that I liked was that the blade comes out of the box sharp. You can use this to puncture certain materials or break glass if need be in an emergency.
The end of the handle comes to a pointed steel tip. * Easily cuts through nylon straps and seat belts * Low-profile sheath to minimize interference * Handle Material: TPV over molded on nylon It also dampens any shine that could give a person away in a combat situation. The Gerber Prodigy has a black oxide coating for corrosion protection.

Serrated edges are a must on Survival Knives in my opinion now because the options for what you can cut and hack with a knife in a survival situation increases greatly when your survival knife has a serrated edge. I can tell you that it takes quite a bit to dull the serrated edges of this knife. It’s sharp, I’ve hacked through green tree limbs, seasoned lumber as well as many other materials and it performed well. The first half of this knife has a serrated edge. I now know that good quality knives with serrations made from high quality steel increases it’s effectiveness when they are serrated! I used to think that any knife with serrations was a cheap knife and the only reason for the serration was because the manufacturer used cheap steel and the knife wouldn’t hold an edge. One feature that I like about the sheath is the friction release thumb lock which helps keep the knife nice and secure. The sheath is secured to the Nylon with two screws and a strap at the bottom as well as two hook and loop straps that wrap through and around the hard plastic section. The nylon sheath comes with a leg strap that buckles and additional straps for securing it to anywhere you want to carry it. The Gerber Prodigy Survival Combat Knife is MIRS (Military Integration Resource System) Compliant. It is the little brother so to speak to the Gerber LMF knives, because basically it’s a scaled down version of the larger knife. I wanted a good all purpose knife for survival, hunting, and if needed combat. Well… to be honest I gave them a list of things to choose from that I wanted and they chose this…lol.
It's also MOLLE compatible and comes with a leg strap and two additional attachment straps for added security. Noise is dampened thanks to a molded soft grip coating which, like the ballistic nylon material, is MIRS compliant. Much like the knife, the sheath is designed to live up to the task with a friction-release thumb lock for security and a list of non-detection features. The ergonomic over-molded rubber handles ensures a soft, comfortable, but secure grip in all conditions.
#GERBER PRODIGY FULL#
The full tang, high-carbon stainless steel blade is beefy, and coated with black oxide for improved corrosion resistance and reduced visual signature. The Prodigy is much smaller (9.75" overall length), but it certainly packs as much punch as its predecessor. Designed cues for the new Prodigy were inspired by the award-winning LMF II, another knife engineered by Gerber's Jeff Freeman.
