Everyone who likes knives knows who Gerber is. They started out with high quality kitchen knives and moved into sporting knives, and now they are one the major players in that field.
The Covert from Gerber was a 3/4 size version of the big run-away best seller Applegate-Fairbairn® Combat Folder. The Covert was itself a big seller. Its 4-5/8" handle made it still a pretty big knife for the average pocket.
Gerber has redesigned the EZ-Out. The function is still the same, only the design is different. They have added two additional holes in the blade for a sleeker look and a slightly lighter feel in your pocket.
It is hard to believe that the same person who designed the Stallion and the Gator for Gerber has designed what they are calling the Gerber AR 3.00. However, I am assured by the people at Gerber, that this is the case. This knife, which has not been dignified with a name, is one of the neatest knives from Gerber in many years. If beauty, function, and value count for anything, this will be one of Gerber's very best sellers.
The design team of knifemaker Bill Harsey and retired Navy SEAL James Watson has done a really fine job on the Silver Trident. Both versions feature a black oxide coated 6" sabre ground blade of 154CM stainless at 59-61 Rc. with 40% cutting edge serration. The exceptional handle is made by co-molding two different versions of Hytrel®. The nearly indestructible hard inner core is enclosed in a soft, easy-to-grip skin which is molded over the entire handle for positive grip. The integral guard and two forward finger grooves allow a wide variety of useful grip positions. The butt is hardened stainless steel. Measures 11-1/8" tip to butt. Weighs 11.1 oz. Includes a black Ballistic nylon sheath.
In a world where the great outdoors have become the great unknown for a lot of companies, Gerber knives still strive to provide those of us who still enjoy outdoors quality products. Gerber blades are the product of over 6 decades of knowledge of form, function, materials and nature. The Gator Fillet knives are a good example of that goal.
The Gerber Legend is the best looking of the multi-function tools and is one of the most comfortable to use. The Nike™ like swoops of the 3M rubber inserts along the sides of the cast aircraft alloy handles provide a cushioned, more secure grip and changes the appearance.
This tool is a large improvement over the older Gerber tools as well as all the other tools on the market. Each new tool developed builds on previous ones. Entirely made of stainless steel except for the two lock-release buttons which are of Zytel®. One of the most important features is that all the blades and tools are spring-loaded and will not fall open while the tool is in use.
Gerber's push-button lock Sport Saw is a winner. The Big Game Hunter, the Camper, and the Gardner will all find this a really useful tool. This saw leaves a cut surface like a fine cabinet maker's handsaw. It can handle the bones in a moose or a deer, cut firewood as fast as a good axe, and for trimming 3-4 inch limbs around the house you cannot find a better hand powered saw. The secret is in the teeth.
The Gerber Back Paxe is a small kindling splitter or game axe made in Finland by the parent company, Fiskars and has to be handled to be appreciated.
The success of the Gerber® SUV pack has led to yet another packaging of Gerber tools. The Big Game Cleaning Kit is a gathering of those items useful in a hunting camp.
