GERBER, A PART OF FISKARS GROUP
Gerber: Crafting icons, one adventure at a time
Icons aren’t born; they’re made. From a single daring idea to a lifetime of fueling outdoor adventures, we’ve turned each year into a remarkable chapter in our story. What defines an icon? It’s not merely a title; it’s a badge earned through experiences filled with stories worth sharing. Since our bold leap into the world of family-run knife manufacturing in 1939, Gerber has stood shoulder to shoulder with adventurers, serving as their trusted companion through both challenges and triumphs. From the first hunting knife to multi-tools that have saved the day, we’ve been there every step of the way, elevating the everyday.
And as part of the Fiskars Group, we carry forward a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. With a 375-year history of creating enduring tools for life, Fiskars complements our mission at Gerber: to craft problem-solving, life-saving knives, multi-tools, and gear built to last. Together, we bring a heritage of precision, adventure, and design that drives us into the future. At Fiskars Group, we are committed to pioneering design to make the everyday extraordinary.
