Gerber Gear is one of the world’s most recognised knife and tool brands. Since its founding in 1939 in Portland, Oregon, the company has been designing and manufacturing knives, multi-tools, axes and saws for outdoor, hunting, tactical and everyday use. Gerber is an official supplier to the US military and equips armed forces around the globe with dependable tools. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find a curated selection of Gerber products – from fixed blades and compact folding knives to versatile multi-tools.
Knives – from the Strongarm to the LST
Gerber’s knife range encompasses fixed blades and folders for every purpose. The Strongarm series offers full-tang knives in blade steels such as 420HC and CPM MagnaCut – proven in camping, survival and military service. The LMF II has been a standard-issue tool for rescue crews and pilots for decades. The compact Paraframe and LST folding knives excel as lightweight EDC companions with tried-and-tested locking mechanisms. Whether drop point, tanto or clip point – Gerber provides the right blade geometry for every task.
Heritage · since 1939
From a Portland workshop to a worldwide standard
What began in 1939 as a small knife workshop run by Joseph Gerber in Portland has grown into one of the world’s most respected tool brands. Gerber has been supplying the US military since the 1960s and created an iconic combat knife with the Mark II. Today the brand combines decades of manufacturing expertise with modern materials such as CPM MagnaCut and glass-fibre-reinforced nylon. Core production still takes place in Portland, Oregon – every tool undergoes rigorous quality checks before leaving the factory.
Multi-tools – Center-Drive, Suspension & Dime
Gerber has been instrumental in shaping the multi-tool category. The Center-Drive is the first multi-tool with a centre-axis driver that accepts standard-size bits – a breakthrough in ergonomics. The Suspension series delivers rugged all-rounders with spring-loaded locking for outdoor and workshop use. The Dime is one of the most compact multi-tools on the market and fits on any keychain. All Gerber multi-tools ship with the Lifetime Warranty and are built to withstand the harshest demands.
Axes, saws & camping tools
Beyond knives and multi-tools, Gerber offers a well-thought-out range of camping tools. The Freescape axes feature forged steel heads and non-slip grips. The Freescape folding saws cut cleanly through wood and pack down compactly. For everyday camp life, entrenching shovels, machetes and the Gerber ComplEAT cutlery set round out the range – all engineered to deliver maximum functionality at minimum weight.
Lifetime Warranty – guaranteed for life
Gerber stands unreservedly behind its products. The Lifetime Warranty covers material and manufacturing defects for the entire lifespan of the tool. This is more than a promise – it is an expression of confidence in the brand’s own manufacturing quality. For Swiss-Sale.ch customers it means a Gerber tool is a companion for life, and should anything ever go wrong, Gerber will make it right.
