About Gerber
Gerber has supplied activity-specific knives, multi-tools and outdoor problem-solving gear since 1939, and sits in Business Area Fiskars alongside the scissors and gardening ranges rather than in the homeware half of the group. Its American-made Fastball folding knife, with an aircraft-grade aluminium handle and a wharncliffe blade, launched the Gerber Custom personalisation programme. It is unrelated to the Gerber baby food brand.
