Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Gerber Freeman drop-point S30V Stag's for $49.99.

A friend sent this to me. Gerber drop-point, s30V, stag handle and leather sheath. American made...

Here is a link to the sale...

smkw.com

Every Gerber Freeman that I've seen was made in China. Hard to believe that they can sell American made for the same price. Just sayin'......

I noticed it did not say that on the ad, but I looked on Cabelas, and they say theirs (not stag) is made in the USA.

The S30V Freeman is made in the USA.

A couple of other Gerber USA S30V deals.

Gerber USA Yari-II S30V $49.99

Gerber USA E-Z-OUT S30V CAMO $19.99

That's a good price for that knife...they usually cost a lot more than that. They sorta bend ya' over on shipping though...

I bought 3, and the shipping was in the $12 range total, I believe...so, not too bad.

Recieved the knives yesterday, stamped s30v USA right on the blade.

joe

Not bad for three... But when I asked em' about buying one, they said the shipping was still 12 bucks! 24% for shipping is kinda steep to me.

Just ordered three of the E-Z-Outs after reading many favorable reviews. Might be a good companion to my son's Gerber LMF he's taking to the sandbox.

Same price on the Freeman's, and with the Promo Code:

CCPENNY

shipping for your order is only $.01 (applies to other knives also).

Just thought I would share. Got the info from a friend of mine....

joe

Thanks Joe. That's a 'heads up' that is appreciated. That 1 cent shipping price made all the difference to me. Genuine stag scales, S30V steel, 'Made in U.S.A.', and a nice design, at an unbeatable price. One for me, and one for a gift. Good deal for sure. Thanks again.

Not bad at all for a total of $50 bucks.

A friend told me about this deal from Sportsmans Guide...a Puma Catamount of genuine stag and 440C...for $30 bucks. The Gerber above and this Puma will make decent 'gifters' for guys that help at huntin' camp doing cookin' and such.

I like the Puma far better, it wouldn't be beneath me to carry one afield. Wish they wouldn't write all over the blade.

I looked on Sportsmansguide and couldn't find that knife for $30, can you direct me?

I'm sorry man, it wasn't real recent...it was about 7 months ago when he put me on this deal. Just wanted to show that a heads up (like the one about the Gerber) can be a real good one sometimes.


BTW, you were the one who gave me the 'heads up' on Harvey King's Small Game...that was a good one.

For me, personally, I find it hard to spend $50 on a production knife when I can buy a Harvey King small game for $125 and get Harvey King quality. I think that some of HK's knives are priced below their "real" value, at least their value as compared to much of their competition.

I have been buying Cold Steel Canadian Belt Knives for the kids who score 100% in my Hunter Education classes. Sometimes, that gets a little pricy, even for $12 per copy, when there are 25 to 30 kids in the class.

JEff

Agreed. Harvey's Small Game and Personal are two of my absolute favorites. They feel
better in my hand, especially the Personal, than any other. And his quality is second to none. His knives are finished beautifully.

You're a good guy for doin' that with the kiddos. I like the Roach Belly even better. I bought some in December online for $10 bucks. Made great Christmas gifts.



ps - don't see you on this forum much...wish you'd be here more often...

Thanks for the kind words!

I don't consider myself to be a connoisseur of knives, just a simple user with a focus on value and utility, so I don't often feel that I have much to add to the conversation.

JEff

Looks like they're back up to $111.... WAS a great deal!!!
