Per a trio of dromedaries that just ambled by, the average Amazon price is closer to $46, not the $62 list price. Just so you're aware you're really saving about $10, not $26. That's still a good price for a decent survival knife. I have the Bear Grylls-branded version, also made by Gerber and discontinued when Bear Grylls name started detracting sales rather than helping them. Other than the color scheme, it's the same knife. The blade steel isn't the best, but quite serviceable, regardless of what the high end knife enthusiasts might say. The sheath, fire steel and emergency whistle are all actually quite good. The diamond hone built into the sheath is pretty coarse - good for putting a utility edge back on it if it gets really dull, but you shouldn't let your blade deteriorate to that point in the first place. Unless of course you're in a true survival situation and doing a lot of bushcrafty-type stuff - processing firewood, shelter building, etc. In which case you'll be mighty glad for that diamond hone.

Got this back in May '22 on a slickdeal for $27. Also have the Bear Grylls version (the 2-pack).

+1 on what you said. Nothing more to add 😁

What's the advantage of a half-serrated blade on a survival knife, and does it outweigh the disadvantages? Asking because in ~12 seasons of alone, I don't think I've seen a single contestant being a serrated knife, aside maybe from one on a multitool.

Cuttig heavy rope, fibrous branches, thick sinew or tendon... I've used a combo blade for a few different uses, but a properly sharpened straight blade has far far more uses. And is much, much easier to maintain.

+1 you nailed it. Mine also has the half-serrated knife edge and I would have preferred it was just a full straight edge. Yes, cutting cordage is slightly easier, but unless you're cutting whole lot of really heavy rope, a sharp straight edge does just fine. A serrated edge is more fragile under heavy use (e.g. batonning firewood) and harder to maintain. It requires a diamond or ceramic sharpening rod to sharpen properly, which is a tedious process. I've given up doing that and after repeated full-length sharpenings, the serrated portion is slowly becoming a straight edge. Wink

If you really been out in the wild alone for extended periods of time you would always prefer half serrated. If you know you know.

It has sold for even less in the past, so don't sweat it too much that you missed out this time. If you're interested in this sort of thing and don't need to buy right away, set up deal alerts for "survival" and "knife". You'll have to deal with a lot of false positives, but an as good, if not better deal WILL come up.
