You are asking a question that is not easily answered. The Gerber Mark 2 and the Boker Plus V-42 Devils Brigade are two different knives. It is kind of like asking if a sports car is better than a SUV. The Gerber is all steel, the Boker has a leather wrapped handle like a Kabar. The Gerber has two serrated cutting edges higher on the handle, the Boker does not, but it has a thumb groove on the handle. The Gerber has a flatter pommel, the Boker has a spike. Booth cut well, both stab well, but what do you want to use it for ? Also the scabbard is slightly longer on the Boker, but still wears well. You are asking a question that is not easily answered.

Two different knives - the Gerber is stainless with an aluminum handle and serations. And the Gerber blade is longer and heavier. Look similar but very different. Hope that helps.

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

Hello, I bought this in 2/2011 so probably not. I will say this though given that it's two years later, That knife still has a razor sharp blade and that's after using on my 7 day Zion trek, my 2 week Appalachian Trail trip, and various other overnight camping/hunting excursions... It looks as though it IS the same knife though... hope that helps

In my opinion this knife can't be so easily compared to those other brands because its not just a mass produced factory knife. This thing is a beast and I'd buy it before any of the others. It's thicker and heaver than an Ontario or kbar or cold steel and it just looks better and feels better in the hand. Just my opinion, but get it and you wont regret it.

No, it is not an exact clone of the BK2... What it is is a very good knife for the money that is tough as nails! Condor makes very good knives.

I checked on the Gerber web site. As far as I can tell, their more expensive line is made in the USA; however, it looks like this model is made in China. :(

I like the shape of this blade better, The speed safe opening is much handier than the spyderco hole. Plus this blade is just so beefy once you get it in your hand you know it's not going to fail you.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

Yes but it is just as bad as the knife its self...try the schrade SCHSM bowie it is far superior and comes with a leather sheath.

Not sure what Gerber you have but my Gerber & Kershaw are easier to open but what more to you want from a cheaper knife

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

Either would probably be fine, but both my grandson and I preferred the Gerber Dime features over the Leatherman Squirt. The Gerber Dime blades were a little hard to open at first, but are not so much now that I have broken it in and lubed the blades. I use the box cutter and scissors most of all.

Yes. This one is made in the U.S.A. (In Oregon) Some Gerbers are now made in China, but some are still made here. I believe the LST and the LMF are both included in that list. You could contact Gerber if you wanted to be 100% sure, but It is not built cheap, you can tell just by holding it.

If you actually use the pocket clip like most people do, no matter how careful you are, the edge of the rubber grip WILL catch and eventually pull off; Alex and Will have obviously never used the clip more than a couple of times. If you never use the clip it's a fine knife. I absolutely loved mine until the rubber pulled off. Eventually I'll make some wood scales for it and start using it again. For now I'm back to my Gerber 22-47161 Fast Draw. The only reason I like the FAST is that it locks closed as well as open; ugly as sin but completely utilitarian.

Don't know, but guessing same knife, but different packaging. Both do get abt the same ratings.

I prefer it.it seems to hold an edge longer. If your in the fence about this or the 561 I would go south the die-hard as an edc. The 561 is mainly if you want a self defense knife.

Yes, it is. As a matter of fact it's very well constructed. Every knife I've bought from MTECH has been great. This knife fits perfect inside my boot and it is very, very sharp.
