An Outline Of The Background Of Gerber Automatic Knives

Since 1939, Gerber Legendary Blades has been producing quality knives and multitools. But do you know the founder of Gerber blades, Joseph Gerber, didn’t begin within the knife making business.  In 1910 his family began a marketing firm in Portland, Oregon, which is where he was working when he shipped twenty-four models of hand-made kitchen knives to the family’s friends for Christmas. And as it is said, the rest is history.

The actual blades were so well received that the catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch asked Gerber to make knives for them to promote in their publication. So Gerber quit his job at the family advertising firm, and opened up his own hand crafted blade company. A private organization until 1987, Gerber Legendary Blades is now owned by Fiskars, a Finish company.

From the humble roots, to being one of the best leading sellers of blades and multi-tools in the us, Gerber Legendary Blades carries an expansive brand of products. Let us take a peek at one of the many different types of knives and tools they manufacture, Gerber automatic knives.

An automatic blade is one in which the blade folds into the hilt, and is spring loaded so it opens at the touch of a button. These blades are often called switchblades and switch knives and go back to as early as the 18th century. In america blade production became industrialized following the Civil War, and since that time automatic knives have been a good part of the knife selection in the united states.

Gerber automatic knives come in a number of styles, blade types, and lengths. In terms of blades you’ll be able to select from traditional or serrated edges. Blade lengths range in size from 2.6″ to 3.75″. Depending on the dealer and what models of Gerber automatic knives they provide, you may be able to find blade lengths longer than these.

With regards to style, Gerber provides a range of products. From little versions that are easy to carry on your belt or in your wallet, to large models which have been designed by past military services personnel for military use. To have a good idea of the breadth of styles Gerber offers, you’d need to see the choice of a good Gerber dealer.

In america, automatic knives come under particular laws and regulations concerning length and the legality of carrying them. You’ll find both state and federal laws and regulations that you need to adhere to when carrying Gerber automatic knives For instance, in Wyoming automatic knives are legal to carry, so long as they aren’t concealed. To find out the laws in your specific state, you can use Wikipedia, which has a chart of the laws for each state.
