About the Product

With a full tang, 420HC steel blade and rubberized diamond-texture grip, this is a knife you can bet your life on. The MOLLE-compatible multi-mount sheath system offers optimal customization, keeping your knife ever at the ready in combat situations.

Design cues for the new Prodigy were inspired by the award-winning LMF II, another knife engineered by Gerber's Jeff Freeman. The Prodigy is much smaller (9.75" overall length), but it certainly packs as much punch as its predecessor.

What customers say about "Blade"

Gerber StrongArm 420 High Carbon Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Survival Tactical Knife

The blade also came from the factory with a beautifully, symmetrically ground and very sharp edge!
Love how the blade looks and how well it's balanced.
The blade is so thick I feel like I could baton through concrete with it.
Very heavy and thick blade, though if you want a very tough knife, it will probably serve you well.
The blade is very tough & thick. Extremely comfortable in the hand and promotes confidence.

GerberGear Prodigy (22-41121) Survival Knife, Serrated Edge, Black

It has been through a rough time everywhere and nothing seems to dull the blade.
The serrated edges have been very handy for multiple uses including cutting open an old leather saddle that was stuck between very heavy storage cabinets.
Great overall quality and construction, Good price point, Sharp blade that holds and edge and a nice quality sheath.
Outstanding in every way, from the sheath to the thick, sharp-edged back of that handsome and razor sharp edge, this knife cannot be bested for value.
I didn't find any flaws. The blade, and the grind, is straight. The handle is very solid.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Gerber StrongArm 420 High Carbon Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Survival Tactical Knife

The form factor and weight are nice.
Easy to sharpen. Nice balance and weight.
It's got enough weight to it that you know it's quality, but no so heavy that's it's ackward.
I like the weight, the feel, the blade & lastly the sheath it comes with.
Strong blade, with a good thick spine. Very good weight and feels good in your hand.

GerberGear Prodigy (22-41121) Survival Knife, Serrated Edge, Black

Its one of the most comfortable toughest knifes I've ever used.
I would recommend this knife to anyone that requires a very dependable and durable multi use tool.
This knife is nearly indestructible, has a wicked sharp blade that retains the edge excellently, and it is perfect in size.
It is contoured well enough to fit most hands and provides enough grip to prevent slippage.
This is a perfectly sized knife for all-around hunting, camping, and general carry purposes.

What customers say about "Features"

Gerber StrongArm 420 High Carbon Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Survival Tactical Knife

Beautiful and tough. Nice finish on blade.
It also is just a sexy looking blade I do gotta say.
Solid Knife with good handle and very useful carry options.
The grip/handle is excellent! I couldn't ask for a better handle, it feels comfortable, not ultra grippy but just enough!
The handle is super grippy and is the ergos are great - it is very comfortable and secure in your hand.

GerberGear Prodigy (22-41121) Survival Knife, Serrated Edge, Black

It mounts perfectly with the molle system and has put up with some serious abuse.
I really like the way it snaps into its sheath, not requiring anything to hold it in place but it's own pressure from its very durable locking mechanism.
The handle is big enough to be easily used wearing gloves and the rubber groove will keep it secured firmly in a sweaty hand or in rain.
It's as sturdy as they come at a great price and sits well strapped on without rubbing/irritating.
The sheath materials appear to be good quality. I am very pleased with this purchase.
