You can’t survive for 85 years without innovative products. It may seem like common sense, but you have to stand out in the crowded world of knives and multi-tools. And we have a long history of doing so. From the first kitchen knife to our latest release, we aim to make highly functional, innovative tools.  Head to our blog to learn about our most iconic and innovative designs over the years: https://lnkd.in/gvr4vxvC

https://lnkd.in/dY8h8hWz Episode 2 of our YouTube Series "Wyld Eats" is live today! This episode takes us to Colorado where the Wyld Honeys prepare a delicious twist on a classic comfort food, coffee recipe, and enjoy spring skiing with friends. All cooked using our new ComplEAT Camp Cookware Collection. #GerberGear #OutdoorCooking

Our new ComplEAT Cook Set was chosen as the best cook set in Travel + Leisure Co.'s Ultimate Camping Packing List! From the article: "As someone whose first camping cook set consisted of mismatching plates, cutlery, pots, and pans in an open storage bin, the compactness and uniformity of the Gerber ComplEAT Cook Set is a game changer. The 16-piece set has everything you’ll need for a group camping trip — and nothing you don’t." Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gJDEwgb9

Last week, Gerber employees took advantage of volunteer time off to help with packing boxes at Sunshine Division, an organization who provides food and clothing relief to local Portland families and individuals in need. Sunshine Division helps over 15,600 families each year and makes bulk donates to 15 other food relief agencies in 5 countries. The team at Gerber had a ton of fun volunteering with the Sunshine Division, packing 440 food boxes.

Throughout our #Gerber85 year history, we've received some legendary letters. One of our most prized possessions around the office is this letter we received from the White House in 1955. While on a trip to Denver, Colorado, President Eisenhower suffered from a massive heart attack and was hospitalized; it was a major news event that took over the papers. And while the president recovered, many people sent in best wishes and gifts, including Joe Gerber. Gerber gifted President Eisenhower a set of legendary kitchen knives to wish the president well in his recovery. A month later, this letter arrived in Portland.   Head to the blog to learn more about our history and 85th Anniversary: https://lnkd.in/gEU9m-5n

Today on the blog - we continue to celebrate our 85th anniversary and highlight Portland's rich history in the knife industry. Gerber wasn’t the first to the knife party, but we’ve sure made a big impact on the industry in town. Henry Brands was the first to start making knives in 1919 and began supplying knives for local salmon fishermen. 20 years later, Joe Gerber, an ad agency man, decided to pivot to the knife market, selling culinary knives, eventually becoming one of the top brands for outdoor and military knives. As one of the early companies to open our doors, we’re proud to call Portland our home and continue the legacy of American-made craftsmanship. https://lnkd.in/gXMw7Pv6

What makes a legend? It's not something you can just proclaim. It's not something that comes once you hit a certain age. No, a legend is a title earned from a life of adventure and stories that are worth being told over and over again. From the moment we made the gutsy move to a knife manufacturer, we charted our course to earn the title . We started in the kitchen and made our way outdoors. We became the companions of adventurers in the best moments of their lives and in their worst. We became their first hunting knife, fishing knife, and important piece of gear when they enlisted. We were on the trips where you turned to your buddy and said, "One day we'll tell our kids about this". Join us throughout the year as we dive into our storied history and celebrate our 85th Anniversary. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gcg_TmVn
