About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have 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.

It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Axe, October 12, 2007

This review is from: Gerber 45905 Camp Axe With Sheath (Misc.)

Having great success with my Gerber knive (steadfast) over the years, I purchased the camp axe and continue to be amazed! At first I thought it might be a bit long and heavy to pack but now I never camp/hunt without it. The high carbon content holds an excellent edge and in a pinch I've struck flint rock against it to spark a fire (used w/ magnesium in wet conditions). I used it to field dress elk and older deer to split a tough pelvis when my gigli saw was missing (just make sure the bladder is clear)! The tang is great for hammering in tent stakes since no one seems to remember to bring a hammer. I was concerned about the composite handle but it have held up well in the temperate climate of Kentucky though I haven't have enough extreme cold conditions like the high country to know if it would become brittle and crack. However I have camped/hunted all my life and now consider this part of my "essential" gear and that's not an easy feat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kick ax!, March 19, 2007

By 

the beaver "travis" (myrtle beach, sc) - See all my reviews

I'm a fan of Gerber in the first place but this ax really went beyond my expectations. It ties on easily and conveniently to a pack, is light, seems virtually unbreakable and chews through trees like a hot knife through a cold stick of butter. Working wood for shelters, fire circles, benches and a plethora of other needs is very important in the forest. So you need a solid, reliable tool to get the job done. Now that I own it, I won't go on the trail without this Gerber ax. It's become one of my favorite pieces of gear.

This review is from: Gerber 45905 Camp Axe With Sheath (Misc.)

I have numerous trees on my property and I bought this for tree trimming and to make wood chips for my grill. It works great for both. It is very well balanced. The 17" length extends your reach and makes for a powerful impact without swinging it hard. The blade is holding a good edge. I'm thinking of getting one for my son who does a lot of camping.
