[G82]Gerber Knives Official Site

by Jackie Johnson, Jac

Based in Portland, Oregon Joseph Gerber, then in advertising, hired a local knife maker in 1910 to make him 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as gifts to his advertising clients. These early Gerber knives proved to be successful with the clients, so much so that the acclaim of the knives was widely spread and demand rapidly rose for similar knives to be produced. Ever the astute businessman, Mr. Gerber left his ad business and by 1939 had launched Gerber Legendary Blades.

About Gerber Knives:

Gerber knives have a long history of precision manufacturing and amazing performance. Their founder, Pete Gerber, designed them in the 1930s and in 1985 was eventually honored by Blade Magazine for his contributions.

Throughout the years, Gerber knives have been designed by some of the ?biggies? in the blade creating industry, including Fred Carter, Bob Loveless and Blackie Collins. This is part of the reason that the company has been around for so many generations. In fact, quite a few Gerber knives have been passed from parent to child and friend to friend.

Gerber knives are typically utilized for a number of different purposes, including hunting and outdoor activities as well as for multi-purposes uses. This makes them ideal for the recreational sportsman or the professional military individual. As one might suspect, the typical Gerber blade is second-to-none and comes with a money-back guarantee, something that isn't found on cheaper types of knives.

Gerber knives are also known for their innovative attributes, including special locking units and multi-tool add-ons, not to mention their enhanced grips of varying styles and substances. Truly, Gerber knives have been designed out of both a passion for the industry and a deep understanding of the needs of Gerber knife users.

Best of all, especially for those knife-buyers who are on a budget, Gerber knives are reasonably-priced. Consequently, they provide value at every level and are great for gift-giving purposes.

Buying a Gerber Knife:

Not sure which type of Gerber knife to buy for yourself or a loved one?

First, you need to consider how and where you're going to use your Gerber knife. For example, do you require a Gerber knife with a serrated blade? Then the 3 ? inch Gerber 0118 F.A.S.T. Tanto Folder could be a possibility, as could the 2 7/8 inch stainless spear point blade of the Gerber 1967 Mini Covert Fast Assisted Opener.

Next, you need to think about the size of the Gerber knife you plan to use. Do you need something particularly small? Perhaps a 1 7/8 inch Gerber Trendy could just fit the bill. Or are you looking for something a bit larger? In that case, a Gerber Powerframe Folder might be a better bet.

Finally, there's nothing wrong with considering price. Certainly, as was previously stated, all Gerber knives are created and offered at reasonable rates, they do come with variable price tags. This means you can spend anywhere from about $15 USD to over $100 USD for a Gerber knife. Again, which one you want depends highly on the style you choose as well as the place from which you purchase your Gerber product.

Gerber knives: Definitely legendary, always dependable, and uncommonly sensible. No wonder the Navy Seals choose them for their needs. And you can, too.
