Gerber Legendary Blades is a maker of tools and knives.  Joseph Gerber founded it in 1939 in Portland, Oregon.  It began as a family business, but today is a sub-division of the Fiskars Brand Inc.  Gerber knives and tools are high -quality, top of the line products that will change you the way you look at your knives, tools, light, outdoor accessories, packs and hydration products. 

It all started when Gerber was working at the family advertising firm in 1910.  One Christmas he had a local knife-maker craft 25 sets of kitchen knives as gifts for some of his clients.  The knives were so well received that it led to the vision of Gerber Knives.  In 1939, he launched Gerber Legendary Blades, and sold them in the popular retailer catalog, Abercrombie & Fitch.   In 1987, Fiskars purchased the Gerber Knives brand, and the company grew to the famous name we know today. Now, the Gerber employs more than 300 people, revenues near $100 million and is the second leading seller or multi-tools in the United States.
