Gerber identity
Gerber consumers go outdoors to seek sustenance of spirit. They are deeply connected to the world they recreate, knowing it takes strength to follow the harder route. Gerber products are made to be on that journey with them. Whether they bring back dinner, a new summit, or simply just their stories, easy doesn’t feed our souls and easy doesn’t make anything memorable. Simply put, easy doesn’t.
Gerber Fastball
The Fastball is an American-made E.D.C. knife that lives in the place where precision and polish meet. The trend-forward yet practical design has an intuitive finger flipper opening, a utilitarian wharncliffe blade, and an aircraft-grade aluminum handle. Equipped with B.O.S.S. Tech™, the Fastball lives up to its name offering quick, smooth deployment – every time. This E.D.C. favorite was also the product that launched Gerber Custom; now there are infinite ways to truly make it your own.

Our heritage
In 1939, Pete Gerber and his father Joseph, who owned an advertising firm in Portland, sent a small batch of handmade cutlery sets to their clients for the holidays. These knives proved to be so popular that catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch requested more of the knives to sell in their catalog. Gerber Legendary Blades was born that same year, and the tradition of crafting world-class knives and tools has remained ever since.
Increasing sustainable materials in new packaging
In an ongoing effort to protect the environment, Gerber is reducing the use of plastics and other harmful materials in its packaging. Gerber uses 100% recyclable kraft material, completely exposed products, molded pulp trays, and corrugate inserts, and reduced plastic and paper size on larger products. Gerber’s Fishing Collection is the first of many products that will feature sustainable packaging.
