Why Gerber Knives are Considered “Legendary”

Thinking of a knife as ‘Legendary’ is probably not something that you do very often. But in the knife world there are certainly knives that are considered ‘Legendary”.  The Gerber Knife is most definietly given that honor.

About Gerber Knife:

Gerber knives founder, Pete Gerber, was honored in 1985 by Blade Magazine for his contributions as was mentioned in a previous post. 

Since its beginnings, Gerber knives have been designed by the best designers in the knife industry, including Fred Carter, Bob Loveless, William Harsey Jr., Rick Hinderer and Blackie Collins, to name a few. This is main reason that the company has been in business for so many decades. In fact, quite a few Gerber knives have been passed from parent to child.  My father gave me my first Gerber knife when I was a teenager and I have since given it to my son who will no doubt give it to one of his sons. A Gerber Knife is a family tradition for us.

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.

 The Gerber Knife Company is well known through out the industry for their innovative contributions to knife technology.  Their locking units, handle styles and material compositions are always on the forefront of “what’s new” in the industry.  And the company listens to it’s customers who are often a excellent source of inspriation. 

Gerber knives are designed and made for all budgets.  And regardless of the budget the customer is getting a quality knife, one that will last for many years.

Which Gerber Knife to Buy?

Confused about which style of Gerber knife to purchase? 

The first question is, what are you going to use your knife for?  That will narrow down your choices. Are you a hunter?  A camper? Do you just need a knife or two in your tool box or for your emergency kit in the car? Maybe just a small knife to carry in your pocket? Do you want a folding knife or a fixed blade?  How big of a knife do you need?  All these questions will help determine what knife you need.  Which might be different that the knife you REALLY want!! 

And of course there is always the price. As I said earlier, all Gerber knives are offered at different price points.  You can spend $15 or $20 to $100s for a Gerber knife, and each one will be of excellent quality. Which one you want is based on tyour needs as well as from the place you buy Gerber knife. 

So are Gerber knives Legendary?  In my opinion yes they are!    Navy Seals think so!
