GERBER
KNIVES - THE COMPANY
Savvy. Ingenuity. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail.
These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's
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. And live
it down Gerber has.
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 backpack hydration.
With
a history like Gerber's - -and products like these, it's no wonder they're
completely unafraid of the future.
