Gerber knives comes with a special edge: An edge hand tested by knowledgeable employees with years of experience. Sure, it’s old fashioned. But it’s how we ensure that all Gerber knives arrive with the proper edge and sharpness. The high carbon stainless steel we use helps us achieve the superior cutting edge and standard of performance you expect from Gerber Knives. Exposure to wet conditions, however, corrodes even high performance steel. Proper care and maintenance of your knife will provide a consistent, dependable cutting edge. Use a cotton swab or toothpick to clean out the lock well and the inside of the handle. Allow your knife to dry thoroughly. Coat it with a light oil (3-in-1 or gun oil), making sure to lubricate the hinge area of the folding Gerber knife. Sharpen early and often.
A Gerber knife and tool is an extension of yourself. The same rules apply: Stay clean. Stay sharp. Remove any salt water, dirt, fibers, etc. from the tool by rinsing it in fresh water. Use a cotton swab to clean the inside of the handle. Allow your tool to dry thoroughly. Coat it with a light oil (3-in-1 or gun oil), making sure to lubricate the hinge area of the tools and the slides for the one handed opening.
History of Gerber Knives
In 1939 Joseph Gerber hired a local knife maker to build 25 sets of kitchen cutlery to be given as Christmas gifts. The knives were so popular that Joseph Gerber left his advertising agency to start Gerber Legendary Blades®. The unique style and high quality manufacturing of a Gerber Knife soon developed wide spread acclaim. In fact, Gerber Legendary Blades are the only cutlery on display in New York’s famous Museum of Modern Art
Today, Gerber continues to design and manufacture unique, high quality outdoor recreation products. In 2003 we are proud to introduce the next generation of Gerber multi-tools: the Recoil™ Auto-Plier. By constantly utilizing new technology and innovative design to develop new products, Gerber continues to be an industry leader.
Gerber Knife Sharpening
Modern stainless steel is quite hard and, when properly sharpened, will hold a good edge for many years. When maintaining your Gerber knife blade, use a quality sharpener featuring a stock removal surface of diamond abrasive, ceramic abrasive or hard stone. Diamond and ceramic materials, being much harder than steel, will easily hone the blade’s cutting surface. A hard stone will also perform the task, but stone is only slightly harder than steel, requiring greater effort on your part. The most important factor in sharpening your Gerber knife is maintaining a consistent angle with the sharpening device. A varying angle will result in a rounded edge, which dulls quickly. Gerber knives are sharpened with a uniform 15° angle on each side for a total of 30°. Gerber has an extensive line of sharpeners designed especially for your Gerber knife.
