Its durable blade is crafted from carbon steel for extraordinary durability, no matter what the conditions. To extend its usability, this blade can also be sharpened.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber’s emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon’s Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand–one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.

Very small (Picture) Wow is this small. Have a look at the picture!
Neat but poorly designed Bought this for a camping trip last year…I figured it would make a nice “bush” shovel for light-duty latrine work. It arrived an hour before I left town for the trip. I never got the chance to use it for latrine duty as it broke about the third swing into loosening up the topsoil at the “pin” during a horseshoe game. The ground was very firm and dry and I was using the shovel with the blade 90-degrees to the handle (like a pick) and the tool failed at the hinge…
