Gerber
Savvy. Ingenuity. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to their emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. But then there's the issue of toughness. And frankly, nothing could be tougher than living down the first career of founder Joseph Gerber as...that's right...an advertising man. You could call it the "Boy Named Sue" syndrome.
Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910. One Christmas, he hired a local knifemaker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand. One that commands respect among knifelovers and knifemakers alike. And now that high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products. Such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and many others.
With a history like theirs-and products like these, it's no wonder they're completely unafraid of the future.

Review for Gerber by Fenland Heating Services Ltd
10th November 2021
I've always carried a multi tool on my pocket since I began trading, and just the convince of having a quick set of pliers and a flat headed pry/screwdriver for isolation valves has saved me many trips back downstairs or to the van for a small task. I tend to prefer spring assisted pliers especially as the all metal design isn't usually comfortable if they aren't. Gerber and letherman are always the best quality with gerber just that bit ahead when you compare cost.
