Gerber Legendary Blades is an American maker of knives, multitools, and other tools for outdoors and military headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Gerber is owned by the Finnish outdoors products company Fiskars. Gerber was established in 1939 by Pete Gerber.
Gerber is the "largest maker of knives and multi-tools for the United States armed forces."[1] The LMF II Infantry Knife, features a partial tang blade instead of a full tang blade, ostensibly to avoid electric shocks because the knife was designed to free pilots from downed aircraft.[2]
Gerber was the first knife company to collaborate with a custom knife maker when it collaborated with World War II knife maker David Murphy.[3]
Bear Grylls has also designed a line of Gerber survival knives.
역사
편집In 1910, the Gerber family started an advertising firm in Portland, Oregon.[4] While working for the family business, Joseph Gerber mailed twenty four sets of kitchen knives to clients during the holidays.[4] These handmade knives were very popular, with then catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch requesting more of these knives from Gerber to sell in their catalog in 1939.[4] Gerber started Gerber Legendary Blades that same year.[4]
In 1966, the company relocated to new headquarters in Tigard, Oregon.[4] Finnish company Fiskars purchased the private company in 1987.[4]
Chad Vincent was hired as chief executive officer in July 2001.[4] By October 2003, the company employed three hundred people, and had revenues near $100 million and was the second leading seller of multitools in the United States,[4] after Leatherman, another company based in the Portland area.
