Christmas Gift Guide: Gerber knives

December 6, 2010 By Stephanie

Christmas Gift Guide: Gerber knives 1Tim is almost never knife-less (or gun-less…now that I think about). He always carries a knife in his back pocket and he uses it almost daily for this or that.

He’s partly the reason I support the right to bear arms and things like that. Tim is the kind of guy that you WANT to have a weapon in a scary situation. He’s smart. He thinks quickly. He cares about people with a depth that astonishes. He loves children and values the elderly. He is brave and would fight to protect the good. If you were in a bank and a robber came in, he would totally be the guy who would save the day.

Does he sound like a super hero? He is in my mind…and the girls think so too. In fact, we pretty much think he’s invincible.

—————————————————————-

If you have a super hero kind of guy in your life, I know he’d love a high-quality knife by Gerber in his stocking. I hereby present you two excellent gift options:

Christmas Gift Guide: Gerber knives 2The 06-F.A.S.T. heavy-duty knife ($100) with a serrated edge is sturdy, dependable, and showy. It opens quick as a wit and is sure to impress.

Christmas Gift Guide: Gerber knives 3The Stockman CLS ($47.52) is a 2-blade pocket-sized stag that will especially be appreciated by hunters and outdoorsman. It also comes ready to go with a velveteen gift bag inscribed with the Gerber logo.

Does your husband carry a knife/gun? Do you?

    Carrying a pocket knife is the norm for us. If you don’t have one when it’s needed people kind of raise an eyebrow.
    I feel naked if I don’t have my fold out razor in my purse. It comes in handy for alot things.

    Knives are a big part of our lives also….mostly my husband and son’s are collectors and have lots of stories to tell about each one! I was always scared of guns but as I am learning about them and how to shoot it is getting more comfortable. Gerber is one of the best quality knives around!

    Yes, of course! An extra knife would be great though for my husband.

    My son is getting into hunting and hunting gear including knives.

  6. meme says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:31 pm

    Yes he carries a knife alot because of work fishing and hunting.

  7. Angie says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:22 pm

    Gerber makes great knives. I find it amusing that there is a Gerber knife company and a Gerber baby food company. :)

  8. brian e. says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:21 pm

    Thanks for the giveaway…this knife reminds me of one that my late Grandfather, a farmer, used to carry with him…

    Although we live in a state with very liberal gun “carry” laws, my wife & I only have an old shot gun that we keep secured in a closet at home. We only carry knives when we are camping and/or hiking.

    Neither one of us can carry weapons with us where we go daily, but we do have such things for home protection. My dad is an avid knife collector. He has some beautiful pieces!

  10. Kellye says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:18 pm

    This would be a perfect gift for my husband. A gerber knife always comes in handy. Kellyeandjosh@aol.com

    my man always has a knife on him….. u never know when you are going to need to use it :)

  14. andi says

    December 11, 2010 at 5:41 pm

    Yes! My hubs has a concealed weapon permit and both him and my son never leave home without their trusty pocket knives. I used to have a concealed weapon permit but I’m pretty sure it has now lapsed. My men also hunt a lot so they are always on the look out for a new, great knife. Sometimes I wonder just how many knives they need but they raise their eyebrows and then start a diatribe about how I know nothing about the many things they “may” have to use their knives for…it actually makes me laugh.

    December 11, 2010 at 4:52 pm

    I am entering this giveaway for my husband, Mike. He’s a Land Surveyor and ALWAYS has knives and machetes handy.
    He loves Gerber Knives — they are quality knives of strength and durability — something he relies on in the field.

    My guy works in law enforcement so he’d love this. I don’t carry a knife though.

  17. Rachel R. says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:36 pm

    Wow, this would make a great surprise stocking stuffer for my husband! I never thought I would be a card-carrying NRA member, but my husband recently purchased a handgun to use for fun at the shooting range. Now he is thinking about getting a .22 for me because I like guns with less kick.

    Thanks for the chance!

    My grandsons all need heavy duty knives for working around the land. Only problem would be, which one would get it!

    December 11, 2010 at 12:03 pm

    I love Gerber knives. I have a Gerber BMF knife and love it. Got it at a gun show a couple years ago at a real good price. Gerber knives rule. I love to keep it in my glove box, but it’s a little too big to carry every day.

  20. Joy says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:22 am

    We have a “super hero” kind of guy in this house as well (actually we have two but one’s not ready for a knife yet ;)
    What’s more he REALLY needs a new knife!

  21. Erin says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:00 am

    My husband carries around a Swiss Army knife that I bought him when we were still dating! Every time we go into a fleet supply store, he heads straight for the knife case and comments about how he wishes he had a knife, but won’t go and buy one. *eyeroll*

    My husband always carries a knife and it frequently comes in handy. He’d love to have a nice knife like this.

  23. Melissa B. says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:56 am

    My husband would love a new knife for christmas. He keeps misplacing the one he has!

  24. Happi Shopr says

    Hubby and I both carry knives.

  25. Julie L says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:21 am

    My husband carries a knife once in awhile
    I don’t carry knives because I am afraid of knives
    This would make a great Christmas gift for my husband
    thanks for the chance

  26. Emma Peel says

    I’ve heard about Gerber knives but havent tried any yet just use the same ones I’ve had for years, looks nice though

  27. Marc says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:16 pm

    I’ve never actually carried a knife before, but the Stockman CLS knife looks like an attractive knife that I wouldn’t mind carrying with me. In fact, it might be very smart to have a knife (as a tool) if you need it for any reason.

  28. Paula Hafner says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    My husband always carries a knife. I have a mini muti-tool in my purse that has a knife on it. I’m still grieving that I lost my favorite one a few weeks ago.

  29. D Johnson says

    December 10, 2010 at 10:52 pm

    My husband and I both collect and carry knives, and Gerber Knives are great as far as affordability and durability. Hubby usually gets a Gerber every Christmas from our son and “retires” them after a couple years since they were gifts.

  30. valerie2350 says

    December 10, 2010 at 10:23 pm

    don’t have a need for guns, but my guys carry and use knives regularly :)

  31. Madeline says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:28 pm

    My dad and sister both like Gerber knives, and I bet my hubby would love one.

  32. Katie S. says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:23 pm

    I’ve got some redneck friends who swear by Gerber knives. It may not sound like it, but thats a pretty amazing endorsement… This would be a gift for one of them should I win. Thanks.

  33. Daniel M says

    December 10, 2010 at 6:58 pm

    nice looking knife, haven’t had one in a while now

  34. Erin E says

    Come from a long line of knife carriers, and have loved all the right and practical things they can do.

  36. Cristi says

    December 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

    This would be perfect for my husband.

  37. Staci A says

    i really like the 06-F.A.S.T. i would put the serated blade to good use

  40. Kristi C says

    December 10, 2010 at 9:02 am

    We are both licensed to carry a concealed weapon, so yes we do carry guns. My husband always has a pocket knife on him.

  41. charline says

    My husband would love the stockman CLS, HE LOVES HUNTING AND FISHING.

    December 10, 2010 at 2:27 am

    I really appreciate your candid & casual talk about gun ownership. Both my husband & I practice concealed carry. We had a couple women at my work get very badly assaulted on night shift & I’ve carried a hand gun ever since. We just spent the day Tuesday warming up my skills again.

    My husband always has a knife on him, & I often have Gerber’s small utility knife on me. Those make GREAT gifts for RNs, if you have 1 in your life. We often need scissors, pliers, etc. Short of Cold Steele, I don’t trust any knife company more than I trust Gerber (okay okay & the Swiss Army lol)

  43. Bryanna P. says

    sounds like a handy knife to carry

  46. Jen Williams says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:37 am

    My husband always carries a knife, and it always comes in handy! He carries a gun when he works downtown, but not when out in our small town.

  47. Monique Rizzo says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:31 am

    My hubby would love to find this in his stocking. He is a fisherman.
    Thanks for the chance.

  49. McKim says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:21 am

    My son has had a pocket knife from a young age, and has always been very mindful and respectful of it’s purpose and dangers. He would love this knife.

  50. NICHOLAS ELIAS NIEVES says

    I have a gun and a rifle and working knife

    I have always loved Gerber knives, so this would be a great Christmas present for an old grandpa!

    One of those perfect gifts for the guy who has everything.

  54. Rebecca Graham says

    My husband carries a pocket knife that he has had forever.

  55. Donna M says

    December 8, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    My husband would like to carry a knife, but he has never been able to keep up with one.

  56. Theron says

    December 8, 2010 at 9:35 pm

    I always carry a knife with me when I’m in public, and encourage my two daughters to carry knives along with CS spray. It’s unfortunate that I live in a state that does not allow concealed carry of firearms. I support America’s Second Amendment.

    Hope to win!

  57. Thbodley says

    December 8, 2010 at 7:18 pm

    My husband always carries a knife with him all the time. It comes in handy ALOT.

  58. Terri Dell says

    December 8, 2010 at 7:11 pm

    My husband is a contractor and could use this in his toolbox. He would also make good use of it when he goes fishing.

  59. Jill L says

    December 8, 2010 at 6:20 pm

    Always good to have a good knife. This would make a great Christmas present to my husband.

  60. tiffany lane says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:32 pm

    My husbans is a big knife man. this would make a great stocking stuffer…

  61. Amartin says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:31 pm

    I do carry as often as possible. I’ve been in two unfortunate circumstances during armed hold ups, one while I was armed and one while I wasn’t. Let me be the first to say, I was much more calm and composed during the event when I had my pistol on my ankle.

    This is a knife that would work for me! I have large pocket clip knives for when I’m wearing jeans working in the yard or hunting, but I don’t have one that weigh down my slacks when I’m at work. Plus, Gerber maintains an edge better than most knives I’ve owned

  62. WantsToShop says

    December 8, 2010 at 12:59 pm

    Just be sure your darling leaves the knife at home when he goes to the airport! I have lost many Swiss army knives by forgetting they’re in my purse, then have to toss them out at security – or miss my flight. (I think someone could make some money selling prepaid mailers at the security line.) I’m not sure hubby would get this knife – I might keep it myself!

  63. jill says

    December 8, 2010 at 11:31 am

    My husband and father both carry knives. They are collectors too! My hubby carries a gun occasionally as well.

  64. Mary @ Parenthood says

    December 8, 2010 at 9:00 am

    Carrying a gun or a knife is definitely abnormal around here. The idea that one might use a weapon to be a hero during a bank robbery is completely foreign to me. Like some cultures elongate their necks with copper rings kind of foreign. Aside from military and police types on duty, the only people I can imagine doing so are drug dealers and other undesirables.

    So you can imagine that I was taken aback by this evidence that while our cultures may be similar in some ways, there are some big differences too :)

    PS Please don’t enter me in this giveaway… I would have no idea what to do with such a thing!

  65. Alex H. (Lexigurl) says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:10 am

    I would love to win this for my teenage brother! I got his name in the draw this year and this is what he wants. It would be a big step for him!

  66. Angie says

    December 7, 2010 at 11:19 pm

    Our gun is locked in the safe upstairs, and rarely (if ever) comes out. My hubby is never without his knife though. It’s a swiss army with scissors that have a serrated edge (very desirable, apprently). He is actually known at work as the go-to guy when things need to get cut open. I’m sure he’d like a bigger one for camping though.

  67. hippie4ever says

    December 7, 2010 at 10:20 pm

    Yay for the 2nd amendment! My husband is my Hero too and he’d love a new knife :)

  68. Krista S says

    December 7, 2010 at 9:51 pm

    My husband doesn’t, but I do. :) I have a small one in my purse. But, I think he needs one…

  69. Sara says

    December 7, 2010 at 5:23 pm

    I remember my dad always had a pocket knife handy when I was a kid. I’m not even sure if my husband has one, is that bad?! I think he may have one in his toolbox… maybe? Okay, this would be a good gift!

  70. c says

    December 7, 2010 at 5:13 pm

    I too carry a knife in my purse everywhere I go. And almost always someone asks to use it. Even my oldest daughter loves it, I can not count how many times she has asked for a pocket knife!

  71. Ashleigh says

    December 7, 2010 at 11:53 am

    MY husband totally sounds like Tim. He actually used to make knives when he was a teenager! He has a handful of knives that he uses, and so he is never without one. He is also a chiropractor, so he wear his nice dress clothes to work, but still has a knife clipped in his back pocket.

  72. Christy says

    December 7, 2010 at 10:36 am

    My hubby carries a simple Leatherman which includes a knife. He mostly uses it for computer repairs.

  73. Schmidty says

    December 7, 2010 at 10:20 am

    I have an ancient scrimshaw Schrade knife I’ve carried off and on for 30 years. A good knife is a necessity.

  74. Sarah R. says

    December 7, 2010 at 10:07 am

    Okay, now I love your family even more after reading this! We do not own a knife or gun but support the 2nd amendment very much. I have been thinking about taking a gun class to know how to safely use a gun.

  75. Kendra says

    December 7, 2010 at 9:40 am

    Your husband reminds me of my dad. He is that gun and knife carrier that would do the right thing in a bad situation without even thinking about it. My husband does not carry a knife, but I would love to give him one as I know he wants to be like my dad more than he already is!

  76. Melinda H says

    December 7, 2010 at 7:41 am

    My husband carries a knife to work. I would love to win this for him!

  77. Sarah Johnson says

    December 7, 2010 at 7:22 am

    My husband just recently shot a gun for the first time and is definitely hooked! This would be an awesome gift for him! He loves being outside, but not an outdoorsmen yet. He wants to learn though!

  78. Ashley says

    December 7, 2010 at 6:58 am

    My husband is never without a gun or knife either and I also think that he is just the person to protect us and others from danger! He had a few Gerber knives already, but not this one. I know that he would love to add it to his collection!

  79. Lisa says

    December 7, 2010 at 6:24 am

    He used to carry a knife for work (to cut open boxes). I do know that he would like something like this.

  80. Jen says

    December 7, 2010 at 5:39 am

    I’m a pacifist. I like knives as tools, but find them scary as weapons. I live in a not-so-good neighborhood, and know of several people who have been beaten, stabbed or shot. Perhaps if they had been armed they could have defended themselves, but I think you really have to know how to use the knife (otherwise it can be used against you).

  81. Vanessa says

    December 7, 2010 at 12:43 am

    My husband who is a huge hunter, would love this as he has a collection of knives!

  82. susan says

    December 7, 2010 at 12:11 am

    I know just the hunter who would love this. He’s in his 80s and going strong.

  83. ribs says

    December 6, 2010 at 11:59 pm

    We live in East Africa (and are currently in the U.S on furlough) and my husband said he needs a good knife to bring back with him. I’ve been wanting to buy him a good multi purpose knife and I’ve never heard of Gerber before, so I’ll definitely be checking them out!

  84. Noreen says

    December 6, 2010 at 11:43 pm

    I used to have a really good knife in college but my brother took it and I have never seen it since

  85. Veronica S says

    December 6, 2010 at 8:48 pm

    The first gift I bought my husband was a swiss army knife! Never owned a Gerber though!

  86. JulieK says

    December 6, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    we too support the right to keep and bear arms. And to answer your questions husband yes/yes, me, yes/no (no only b/c I don’t have my permit yet!). I sure would LOVE to give this knife to hubby this Christmas! He likes Gerber but doesn’t have one yet! :)

  87. kristen says

    December 6, 2010 at 5:53 pm

    Not a gun carrier in this family. My husband is a pretty solid pacifist, so… :) That said, however, I KNOW that he would do ANYTHING to protect us in a terrible situation.
    And a knife is a totally different thing. There are many other uses for a knife… I wish I had one, except there is now a 2 year old who gets into my bag, so maybe that’s not the best idea.

  88. Jes says

    December 6, 2010 at 4:37 pm

    this would be a sexy stocking stuffer for my hubby :-) He has a dulled out swiss army knife that doesn’t actually pack a whole lot of punch any more!!

  89. Jenny @ mamanash.com says

    December 6, 2010 at 4:06 pm

    Your husband is almost never knife-less or gun-less?! Wow, what a cowboy! I’m so intrigued by this. So does he wear it around his belt or how does it work? There are so many places within our metro area that ban guns and other weapons that I don’t think it could ever work for me or my husband to carry around a gun or knife. I wonder if this is a difference between North/South?

    We don’t carry or own any weapons but I’m certainly not against the 2nd ammendment. I actually don’t know anyone around these parts that does carry a weapon but I grew up in a family of hunters so there were always plenty of guns and knives (safely!) kept in our home.

    • Stephanie says

      December 13, 2010 at 10:02 pm

      His weapons are always concealed so the average person would have no idea he is carrying. It’s not like in the western movies where he has a gun on each side of his hips or anything like that. ;)

      Perhaps that is a difference between North/South. I’m curious what the laws are like in each state. I guess we’ll find out soon. I would say, however, that Arizona is generally a pretty “gun-friendly” state.

  90. Jenn says

    December 6, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    Hubby and I both carry knives – he in his pocket, me in my purse. Hubby usually has a gun too – he’s one of those good guys like your Hubby :)

  91. Amy M. says

    December 6, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    It wouldn’t be a normal day if my husband wasn’t carrying his knife! When I first met my now husband, I couldn’t understand the necessity for walking around all day with a knife, but he did! I was suprised at how often it came in handy for him to have it on him. He loves trying out new “guy” products, especially when he’s hunting!

  92. Tiffany says

    December 6, 2010 at 2:48 pm

    My husband would have no idea what to do with a knife like that and when I first read your heading I was hoping this was a giveaway for a Chef’s type knife b/c that is something he would know how to use!!

  93. Christine Jensen says

    December 6, 2010 at 2:37 pm

    My husband and I both have small pocket knives attached to our key chains! My hubby loves knives (he even went through a stint of watching the knife show when we had satellite…another reason I am glad we don’t have satellite anymore…LOL)

  94. Becca says

    I used to carry a handy little Swiss Army knife, but I had to relinquish it to TSA several years ago, and never replaced it.

    We too are knife and gun loving people. My husband is never without his knife (a Gerber that I gave him several years ago). We are Gerber fans. I seldom carry one as I am seldom too far from his pockets. He has had several pocket knives, but until he got his Gerber, he didn’t usually have one handy. Now, it is just as much a part of his pants pocket as his wallet is.

    My hubby loves knives and we have tons of them – and while I didn’t used to understand the obsession with them… they have come in handy a lot!

    My husband carries a knife and he would really like this one! I used to carry one in my coat pocket when I took care of the animals (it was convenient to open bales of hay/straw), but I don’t anymore.

    My husband is a knife carrier. Unfortunately, because his wife is anti-gun in most forms short of hunting to feed your family, he doesn’t get to carrier guns a lot. But I like the knives because he can open boxes and envelopes for me!

    My hubby is not a gun carrier, nor a knife carrier unless he is fishing. If he had a good quality knife, it would come in handy. Since he is a carpenter, he is often going to his truck to find some sort of tool that will function as a good knife :-)
