Gerber was founded year 1939 by Joseph Gerber with the same principles that the company still receive "Gerber is a company dedicated to making knives and tolls that combine high quality materials and innovative designs that will stand up to a lifetime of use."
By 1960 Gerber had quickly become one of the most trusted and appreciated names in knives. Today Gerber not only produces knives but also multi-tools, axes, handsaws, machetes, headlamps, flashlights, survival kits and digging implements - all with the same standard of quality and design that inform their popular knives.
