These are just a few of the company traits that 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.For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.What"s in the Box Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife, sheath
