Multitool Knife
Gerber knives is a name most people associate with great knives
Gerber knives is a name most people associate with great knives. Gerber knives has been making Pocket Knives 1939 and are founded in Portland, Oregon. Its location now is in Tigard, Oregon and was established by Pete Gerber. Gerber knives is now a sub-division of a company called Fiskars Brands Inc. Witch is located in Finland.
Gerber knives is the first production knife company to work with Custom knife makers and also has work with other knife companies to try to get the best knife designs. Gerber’s first knives where kitchen sets that where sent out to clients during the holidays. Abercrombie & Fitch wanted Gerber to make more of these knives to sell in there catalog. That year was the year that Gerber started making knives on a much larger scale. Like I said earlier Gerber was later taken over by Fiskars in 1987 and by 2003 reached sales of over $100 million. Gerber was also one of the leading sellers of multitools in the country. Specking from experience there multitools are of the best quality and well worth getting I use mine all the time and it make my life much easier.
Gerber knives have worked with many different designs and designers. Designers such as Bob Loveless, Blackie Collins, Fred Carter, and Ernest Emerson. Also many employees that once worked for Gerber knives have gone on and made very successful Knife company’s them self’s. People like Al Mar and Pete Kershaw.
Gerber has many great designs like the bolt action socking system, the multitools, the push button locking Paul knives, and the clip-it diving knives. Gerber never stop trying to make pocket knives and hunting knives better for every one there constant struggle to make knives better is a testament to there products.
About the Author
Hello my name is James Huff and I started a online store called pocketknivesdepot.com I started this for two reasons I wanted to offer great quality knives at low prices. I also wanted to gain financial independence. To open your own store is challenging but well worth the work. If I can do it any one can. Thank you.
The most basic requirements for spending an extended period outdoors?
I am planning a camping/hiking etc trip to Mexico with my father and we plan to be away from civilisation for most of it. Whilst I have yet to do any proper research, I have looked up the basics as to what would be needed to survive in this environment.
Can you add or take away anything from the list below- bearing in mind this is just preliminary basics?
I should also add we will not be completely alone per se; local authorities will be informed of our intentions and we will look into the best type of radio/phone etc to carry.
The list (to be carried on foot, some items duplicated):
Tent (+ ancilliaries)
Water Purification Tablets
Dry food
Knife, multitool, machete
Kindling and waterproof matches
Compass
the absolute bare minimum required for spending an extended time outdoors is
- an ability to make fire (matches, lighter even flint and steel if you know how to use them)
- some type of cord ( I suggest parachute cord about 50 feet is usually recommended)
- a knife. (I suggest a working type knife, a kukri or marine kabar would be my choice,not one of those fancy survival knives you by at walmart

Multitool, Freehand Multi-Pier $67.82 Gerber 22-41517 Multitool, Freehand Multi-Pier The Gerber Freehand Multi-Tool is a tough, dependable multi-tool that's designed to help you keep one hand open at all times. With thicker blades, an industrial-strength driver/prybar, and rugged stainless steel construction, the Freehand is designed to manhandle its way through just about anything you can throw at it. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the Freehand has thicker blades than standard multi-tools and a specialized, industrial-strength driver, making it ready to take on big jobs. Whether you're on a road trip, at the jobsite, or exploring the backcountry, you'll find that the strength and durability of this multi-tool suits your needs well. And you'll love the way this heavy-duty tool can be easily opened with one hand, making it as convenient as it is durable. Unlike traditional Multi-Tools which often leave you trying to make-do with the wrong tool for a job, the Freehand offers a wide range of 11 easy-to-access outboard tools. Instead of making you pick either a straight blade with a fine edge or a serrated blade that can handle tough rope work, the Freehand gives you both. It also offers V-cut wire cutters, scissors, a ruler for keeping track of precision work, and both Philips and flathead screwdrivers--so you'll never be without the right tool to get the job done. If you've ever had a folding knife close on your hand in the middle of making a tough cut, you'll have a special appreciation for Gerber's Saf.T.Plus system, which locks components securely in place for worry-free use. This proprietary system also helps you keep your hand steady while you're driving screws or trimming wires. The Freehand Multi-Plier comes with a nylon ballistic-cloth sheath that will protect it from the elements when it's not in use. Gerber 22-41517 Multitool, Freehand Multi-Pier Features: • Saf.T.Plus locking system for safety • Includes several outbound tools & V-cut wire cutters • Thumb stud for one-handed opening • Includes V-cut wire cutters • Stainless steel construction with fully locking blades.Overall Length: 7"Length Closed: 5.25" Gerber's Limited Lifetime Warranty: Gerber warrants to the consumer that this product will be free of defects, in material and workmanship for as long as you own the product.
