KNIVES & MULTI-TOOLS

Started in 1939 as Portland's holiday knife gifts. Now 85+ years of legendary blades.

Gerber Gear began in 1939, when Portland advertising executive Joseph R. Gerber sent twenty-four handmade kitchen knife sets to his clients as holiday gifts. Abercrombie & Fitch saw them, asked for more, and Joseph turned his ad agency into a kitchen knife company. His sons Pete and Ham helped grow it into an international outdoor brand — Portland became a knife industry hub in the process. A hunting guide's letter from Montana led to The Shorty, their first hunting knife. In 1966 the company moved to Tigard, Oregon (still home base), and in 1987 Finnish company Fiskars acquired Gerber. Eighty-five-plus years of knives, multi-tools, and field gear later, the brand is still going.

  • Founded in 1939 by Joseph R. Gerber in Portland, Oregon
  • First customer was Abercrombie & Fitch (handmade knife sets)
  • Headquartered in Tigard, Oregon since 1966
  • Owned by Finnish company Fiskars since 1987
  • 85+ years of knives, multi-tools, and field gear

Answers, straight up.

Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.

About this product
What makes MagnaCut different from other blade steels?

MagnaCut is engineered to balance corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention, making it well suited for hard-use knives exposed to moisture and heavy wear.

Is this knife suitable for field and emergency use?

Yes. The StrongArm platform is widely used in outdoor, rescue, and duty roles due to its durability and versatile carry options.

Can the sheath be mounted on MOLLE gear?

Yes. The included snap-in MOLLE strap allows direct mounting to MOLLE platforms.

How is this BRK drop-ship item fulfilled?

This item is released to Stay Ready Outdoors’ distribution partner for direct shipment after the order is placed. Tracking is sent when fulfillment is confirmed; availability and transit time can change, and multi-item orders may arrive separately.

What should I know before carrying or using this cutting tool?

Use the tool only for its intended purpose, keep the edge or teeth protected during transport, and maintain a clear work area. The purchaser is responsible for applicable age, ownership, carry, and use laws.

Does a stainless blade still need maintenance?

Yes. Stainless steels resist corrosion but are not maintenance-free. Rinse off salt, dirt, and food residue, dry the blade and hardware, and follow the manufacturer’s sharpening guidance.

Shopping with SRO
How long does shipping take?

Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.

Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.

Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.

Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.

What’s your return policy?

You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.

Items must come back in like-new condition: unused, unmodified, unworn, unwashed, and free of odors, dirt, stains, pet hair, and damage, with all original packaging, manuals, accessories, and tags, plus proof of purchase.

For standard parcel items, you pay return shipping unless the return is due to our error, shipping damage, or a verified defect. If we provide a prepaid label, its cost may be deducted from your refund. For oversized, freight, dealer-direct, and special-order items, you pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original shipping charges aren't refunded. Some items may carry a restocking fee of up to 15%, and we'll tell you during authorization.

Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.

Approved refunds go to your original payment method. Allow up to 10 business days after approval, and your bank may take longer to post it. Full details: Return & Refund Policy.

What can’t I return?

These can't be returned or refunded, except where the law requires it:

Not sure whether an item qualifies? Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com before you order.

Do you ship outside the contiguous US?

Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories aren't eligible for free shipping, and extra freight charges may apply. If your order needs a shipping quote, we'll contact you before it ships. If you decline the quote, the order may be canceled and refunded. APO/FPO addresses are also excluded from free shipping.

International shipping is available on select products and destinations, and some products may be restricted from international shipping. You're responsible for import duties, taxes, customs fees, brokerage fees, and meeting your country's import rules.

My package arrived damaged. What now?

Inspect your order when it arrives. If anything is damaged, defective, or wrong, email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery (5 days for food and drink) with your order number, a short description, and photos of the item and the packaging.

You don't pay return shipping on items that arrived damaged or wrong, or with a verified defect. Some items fulfilled by third-party suppliers follow that supplier's policy instead. Reporting after 7 days may limit our ability to pursue a claim with the carrier, and while we may help with a carrier claim, approval is up to the carrier.

Package lost or never arrived? Contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date. For freight deliveries, inspect the shipment before you sign and note any visible damage on the carrier's delivery receipt.

Can I talk to a human before buying?

Yes. Call (562) 294-6269, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time, or email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com. We reply within one business day.

We'd rather talk you out of a kit that doesn't fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.

Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?

Yes. Current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS, can save up to 10% on most of our products through GovX ID.

Verify on our GovX discount page and you'll get a single-use code to enter at checkout. For later orders, log in with GovX ID for a new code (limit one code per day). The GovX code can't be combined with other discounts.
