Review: First Rate! - The Magnacut Strongarm stands out as a thoughtfully engineered tool that feels rugged, precise, and purpose-built. Its balance and weight are dialed in just right, and it arrives razor-sharp with excellent fit and finish. It occupies an ideal middle ground—substantial enough for demanding tasks without being cumbersome—making it a reliable choice for both daily use and emergency preparedness. There’s little justification for paying several times more for a premium-brand blade that you’d hesitate to actually use. This knife feels ready for real work and built to endure years of hard service. As someone who normally relies on folding knives (EDC) throughout the day, I decided to compare this directly against a visually similar budget imitation. The difference was immediate and dramatic. The Strongarm features a thick, robust blade with quality steel, a durable protective coating, a comfortable textured grip, and a solid, well-designed sheath. The copy, by contrast, was noticeably thinner, poorly constructed, and paired with inferior materials. Despite appearances, they are worlds apart—this knife earns its price by delivering true performance. Out of the box, the edge was cleanly ground and extremely sharp. The handle scales provide excellent traction, grip and comfort, while the overall balance allows for extended carry without fatigue. The spine on my unit is rounded, which limits ferro rod use, but that’s a minor tradeoff given how versatile the knife is overall. It’s not intended as a dedicated bushcraft blade, but it performs confidently across a wide range of tasks. The sheath deserves special mention. It holds the knife securely without making re-sheathing awkward and offers multiple carry options, including scout and vertical configurations. The snap retention adds peace of mind while still allowing quick access when needed. In use, the knife has handled everything from splitting kindling to food preparation with ease. The edge geometry and balance inspire confidence, and the blade behaves predictably in the hand. While some may dislike the partially serrated edge, it suits my needs perfectly. Construction quality is excellent, and when you’re far from help and depending on your gear, that matters. Steel choice will always be debated, but corrosion resistance is a priority in wet environments. For damp climates, the steel used here strikes a sensible balance between durability, ease of maintenance, and rust resistance. Overall, this is an exceptionally capable, well-built knife that delivers function over flash. If you want a dependable tool you won’t hesitate to use hard, this one is difficult to beat.
Review: Excellent value for a very nice tool you won't be afraid to use. - Magnacut version of Strongarm is well designed, nicely manufactured, and feels like a high quality piece of equipment. Balanced and solid, very sharp from the factory, it seems to hit the sweet spot for size and weight. I look forward to using this tool for various jobs and as a part of my emergency gear. I see no need to spend 3-5X as much for a similar tool from a high end manufacturer only to be afraid to get it dirty. I expect the Strongarm to last for many years and tackle any job I need it to do.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know the thickness of the knife?  Thanks.**
A: Hi - Wendy here from Tall Ridge, an authorized seller of GerberGear - Thank you for your inquiry! The blade's thickness is .2inches. I hope that is helpful!

**Q: The knife itself is usa-made, but where is the sheath made?  thanks.**
A: Hi - Wendy here from Tall Ridge, an authorized seller of GerberGear - Thank you for our inquiry! Both the knife and the sheath are made in the USA. I hope that is helpful!

**Q: Was your knife shipped in a box, or in a clamshell?**
A: Hi - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - Tall Ridge is an authorized seller of Gerber Strongarm Tactical Knives and we ship them in a box. I hope that is helpful!

**Q: What blade angle does it come with? Fine edge implies 20 degrees but I might be wrong.**
A: Typically "Fine Edge" actually refers to a knife with no serrations. Combo Edge would imply a portion of the cutting edge that has serrations, more often found near the handle, but that is not always the case. These knives are sharpened by hand, one at a time on a belt so the edge may vary from one piece to another. The angle is typically 40-50 degrees inclusive, meaning 20-25 degrees per side. That gives you a good balance of cutting performance while avoiding the edge from chipping or rolling, blade hardness notwithstanding. The lower the angle the lower the physical toughness of the cutting edge, may or may not be applicable to your needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Fix Blade Knife!
*by J***E on November 4, 2023*

I decided I wanted a fix blade knife for camping and hiking plus protection in general. I did some research and I decided on this knife by Gerber, I had some folding knives by them and never had any issues so I went with their fix blade knife knowing they make a quality product. I assumed this knife would be high quality too, and I am happy to say it surpassed my expectations! Pros: This knife is awesome, Gerber spares no expense making this knife the quality is 2nd to none! If comes with a hard plastic sheath that is pretty universal. The weight of this blade is perfect, the weight makes the knife feel rugged, a you know you are holding a quality product when its in your hands. Gerber made a super comfortable handle over its tang it uses rubber over a hard plastic that feels strong and amazing in my hand, it is easy to get a good grip on it. This knife won't accidentally slip from your hand! Cons: really only thing I can think of is the price, it's expensive but you absolutely get what you pay for it is 100% worth the money! Final thought: This Gerber fix blade knife is hands down the best knife I have ever held. If you are considering this knife please buy this with confidence! I got it both in tan and black, yes I ordered a 2nd one after I got the first because I like it so much. Both color options are great. (I do like the black slightly better but both look good) I plan to buy my 3rd one soon, I thought about getting another brand, but I have checked out a bunch now and this one beats out the rest! A++ knife
