Why Choose a Gerber knife? - Shopping

Though there are hundreds of brands that manufacture knifes, nothing but Gerber knife will do when it comes to selecting one that stands apart from the rest. More than seven decades have passed since the organization manufacturing this knife was formed. In the year 1910, Joseph Gerber, the founder of this company, decided to manufacture knives that were different from the others. He had a wish to gift his clients with something unique and employed a knife-maker for the job.

As it turned out, these knives became extremely popular and Gerber decided to quit his job at an advertising agency and start manufacturing knives. Since then they have been actively involved in manufacturing high quality hunting, cutlery, and multipurpose knives. Their fame lies in the fact that they are crafted to perfection and also because of their unique design. For example the Freeman Hunter which is a hunting knife.

The premium grade stainless steel used to manufacture it is complimented by its polished pear handle. The Firestorm has a.25 inch blade made from surgical stainless steel. Here the beauty of the razor sharp blade is enhanced by the polycarbonate scales that also provide a firm grip on the steel handles. Then there is the Magnum Camo Jr. which boasts of an extremely sharp and durable blade fixed in an unbreakable handle made out of fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic.

These knives that are available in ranges like automatic, survival, pocket, and spring loaded, and their quality is borne by the fact that they are also used by the military, where there is zero percent tolerance for error. Lots of planning and research goes into the manufacture of these sharp cutters. For example, let us take the automatic models that are manufactured by the competition. Their small trigger buttons are impossible to operate if you are wearing thick gloves.

You shall not be able to open those knives if you are working in the snow, or if you are operating any machine where wearing of gloves are mandatory. However, the extra large trigger button built into the Gerber model makes it easy to operate, despite the thickness of the glove. The safely lock is another added function. If it is shifted to the safe position, it will disengage the trigger. Search the net and you will find many other models. The difference between Gerber and the rest will be unveiled when you use it.
