Father’s Day Gift Guide: A Knife by Gerber

June 3, 2010 By Stephanie 156 Comments

For reasons unbeknownst to me, most men like knives, guns, and other weapons.

Tim, for example, was super excited when a box labeled Gerber arrived at our doorstep.

That’s Gerber Legendary Blades – the company that has been around since 1939 and is a reputable provider of high-quality knives and tools (not Gerber, the purveyor of smooshed carrots, peas, pears, and sweet potatoes for babies – he wouldn’t be near as enthusiastic about that).

Check out these macho Father’s Day gift options:

The Yari II, for example, is a military-style knife that is impressive to behold. It’s designed to be worn on a belt loop, in a MOLLE system, or strapped to a thigh holster mount. It’s an ideal gift for any active outdoorsman.

The Statesman F.A.S.T.is a sleek and sharp folding pocketknife that is functional enough for everyday use, but stately enough to show off to his friends.

WIN IT! One winner will receive a Statesman F.A.S.T. knife ($70) by Gerber. To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Saturday, June 12th at 11:59 p.m. All generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified. Winner must provide a US mailing address.

* Gerber sent me a sample for review purposes and is also providing 1 knife for the giveaway.

*UPDATE* The winner is #53 Louis. Congratulations!

    My husband always says that he should have a knife because he’s Puerto Rican (he doesn’t have one) – he is only half-kidding and I guess it’s ok for him to say such a non-PC thing since he’s talking about himself! Anyway, I know he would think it was really cool to get this.

    I think the pocket knife my husband carries around is one from highschool! It is certainly well worn and getting dull. This one looks like it could handle many years of hardy use. I’ve tried to get him to let me carry one, but he just rolls his eyes at me… someday!

    “Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I’ll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I’m gone, but you know what I’ve left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it’s head with a note that says “You.” After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.”

    [The only problem with this quote is that I wouldn’t want to waste this cool knife by leaving it behind stuck in a pumpkin]

    My husband had a Gerber knife for years, he used it constantly, unfortunately he took it everywhere –including the airport where of course he shouldn’t have–he was picking up our kids–the woman at the counter was really nice and offered to hold it for him, but he forgot to go back to her counter to claim it.

    Guys like knives and things because they are tools, give us visions of adventure and can be “dangerous.” Well, at least they can make us feel dangerous and we think of cool outdoorsy adventures and things we can do with them. Who knows if we’ll ever do them; but, that is not the point. Gerber is a rockin’ brand! If I win, it is tempting to hold onto the adventure myself. However, I think I’ll gift it to my 12 y/o son so we can share some adventures together.

    the brand was unfamiliar (except for the baby food, of course), but the knives look beautiful. If I won it, it would be a great persent for my son.

    I have had several gerber products through the years. They have always been of the finest quality and have performed well. The only reason I don’t still have every one of them is due to loss or theft. Great Products.

    Seriously, what is it? :) I had a pocket knife in my car once (they do come in handy), but when my car got stolen and they took all the little things – because I had nothing of value in it – I just never replaced it. Probably a good thing since my 3 year old likes to get his hands on anything in the car when we take pit stops on trips!

    “For reasons unbeknownst to me, most men like knives, guns, and other weapons.” That made me laugh out loud. It is too true!

    My husband would love this…why, I am not so sure, but the idea of a great knife just makes him happy. The only one he currently has is an authentic Swiss Army knife (one of the first they made) from his grandfather who was in the Swiss Army. Unlike the current Swiss Army knives, this one only has three options. A knife, a can opener and a dowel.

    My DH started carrying a knife after years of prodding from his dad, but it took getting a good one a few years ago. It was a gerber, and he has used the daylights out of it. He’s due for another though, and we’ve actually been looking at them recently. Gerber knives just seem more durable than most.

    My husband started collecting knives as soon as his mom let him start carrying them – and he has a plastic tote full of them now! He’s currently carrying a really nice Benchmade knife, but every time we walk past a knife counter he stops to look and show me which one’s he’d like to have – a Gerber knife is always on that list!
