Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife, Fire Starter Replacement

The Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife is an amazing product! The knife itself is outstanding and the firesteel broke because i didnt know how to use it. But when i got the replacement i knew how to use it perfectly, trial and error but eventually you will get it right just like me!

I bought this knife a few months ago and it has held up VERY well - iv'e definitely put it through some rough testing. After my fire steel started to wear down it eventually broke in two but for $5 you can't go wrong!

well it works good but sadly no free replacement...... :/ oh well

Well, I haven't lost or broken mine (knock on wood) but I just read enough reviews to make me order 4 (can't go wrong for $20 and like most things, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it). As for it being upside down, like deltafltsgt had commented, all you really have to do double secure it. As soon as I got the knife the first thing I did was to attach the lanyard to the fire starter and got a small biner so I could hook it on the horizontal loop on the back of the sheath. I always wear it verticle though...seems a bit too long for horizontal wear so those loops had no purpose to me until then. Or maybe I just lucked out because my first complaint with it was that it was clipped into the sheath too good (have to use the lanyard to pull it out most of the time) oh well, can't mass produce something with this many fitted parts and have every one 100% with everyone 100% satisfied. But I do know I am. Cheers and thanks for the great knife gerber!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know, all of you, that Bear and Gerber never messed up anything. This knife has been out for a little over a year and Bear has told me that it works great. So if your disappointed, waaaaaahhhnnn! Buy a new one. Look if you dont know how to use ot then dont cry when the serrated edge tears up. Bear likes it, I like it, my friend likes it.

the fire steel broke inside the sheath. its a pain to get out. i guess this is why they need to sell replacements. very sad :(

Question: Why is the sheath mount for the Fire Starter UPSIDE DOWN? It would be so easy for the mount to be made so the Fire Starter won't fall out at the slightest jar or snag. Whoever screwed up should be fired as it causes countless Fire Starters to be lost in conditions in which you would need it most.Please consider correcting the design.

i love this feature on the ultimate fixed blade. it works great, is water proof and makes a mean burst of sparks. my only complaint is it wears down very fast, but i'm pretty sure Gerber will give you a replacement if you bought the knife so it's all good :)

I bought this knife a month ago and I have since then been hunting, fishing, camping, & hiking and this is the best knife I have bought this far. The fire steel works amazingly it's fantastic! I'd recommend this as a great buy!

my opinion is its a great knife and although i have seen some people have trouble. the only promble for me was after using the fire rod it gets small and doesent like to lock in place but all i did was place it in the back where the survival book was but i thought maybe by putting an extra o ring in there that might stop it from falling when it gets used

Ive seen a few of you say you lost your fire starter what I do is I take the whistle lanyard from the ultimate survival knife and put it on the fire starter and then after attached to the fire starter I put the velcro that holds the sheath onto the nylon part through the loop and then put it together this makes it impossible for it to come off unless you want it to I hope you all are able to make sense out of that I know its a bit confusing :/

unfortunatly i used my fire starter only a few times and the handle on the fire steel snapped from the steel its self. a small flaw but a replacement for only 5 bucks im not gunna complain.

Great tool, but I lost mine as well. Once I get the replacement I am going to put a short lanyard on it and attach it to the sheath.

as an us marine this knife kit is a great survival most have.

Need this asap!!! I've lost mine!

I received this knife as gift for Christmas 2011, and just love it. The only problem is I just got back from a hike and even though I never touched the fire starter, it didn't make it home with me. Seems this may be a design flaw. Sure can use a new one, hope you get them in stock before my next Grand Canyon hike in July.

This tool works great and I got a flame on the first strike. However on my second attempt my rod snapped in two. Luckily I had the other unit in the survival pack.. I really was inpressed how many sparks this item throws

the grip is not fire resistent in fact mine went up in flames because i was so excited that i actually got a fire started with it i forgot to move it out of the way

Need a replacement since i hit the notches that make it lock in to the sheate with the knife. Works exellent with a few drops of gas from my chainsaw.

Great knife, just snapped my rod in half today on accident, waaaaaah :(

this is awesome can somone tell me when theyll be back in stock i need one

Just bought the knife and I need a new rod. Please start selling them soon.

Anybody found a way to replace just the rod?

this is waste of money for consumers to buy a whole new piece everytime

I was wonder if you had a date when the Bear Grylls fire starters where back in stock Item # 30-000573 Thanks, Steven

When will this be back in stock.

GREAT KNIFE! i have started a good amount of fires with this. worth the $.

finaly, back in stock!!

Great Knife! Started fires from just about any natural kindling I have found. Saw the replacement striker and was going to order it, now it is out of stock. Should have got it the first time I saw it available.

I love everything about this knife kit!!! I just need replacement fire starters, any luck on these coming back in stock soon?

is this available anywhere else?

I have been waiting a long time for these to get in stock, when will they be back in stock?

I found that it takes a fair amount of force to get a good spark from ferrocerium rod but the the notches on the firestarter that make it lock into the sheathe wear down and stopped workinge so i need a replacement

i need a new fire starter becouse mine ran out so it would be good if they where in stock.

It needs to be back 'in stock' soon. I would like to buy a back up.

used in all types of fire starting
