Gerber Knives: The Benefits of Ownership

by Edward Rutowski on February 8, 2010

Many would say that Gerber knives are the best knives made in today’s era. The innovation and cutting edge technology used by Gerber in their products is second to none. Getting through your outdoor activities are just not the same without one of their knives in hand. Gerber’s largest customer just happens to be the United Sates Government, a surprise to many. Gerber knives are standard issue for our Army, Marines and the National Guard. As well, the Air Force and Navy regard these knives highly. Read on for more details if you’re still not convinced that Gerber knives are superior.

A Quick History – It all started around the year 1910, when Joseph Gerber mailed to clients twenty-four sets of handmade knives for kitchen use around the holiday season of that year. These early Gerber knives became a big hit. Abercrombie & Fitch was one of those excited companies who ordered more of these same knives so that they could sell them in their catalog around the year 1939. Thus, Gerber Legendary Blades was born. Currently, the company is now under the parental wing of Fiskars and is estimated as the 2nd largest producer of multi-tools in the US alone.

The benefits are numerous when you own a Gerber knife. While they are still constructed with that sense of reliable old-school technology that gives them such effectiveness, Gerber has integrated many technological advances into them. Here are some of the main reasons that make owning a Gerber knife so beneficial, especially when you take it hunting.

Proven Durability – You can trust this knife to do its job well because of its long lasting endurance and resistance to weather. Most knock-offs tend to break down easily so buying a knife that you can trust in critical moments will serve you well.

The price is a bargain when compared to the hyped up, over-priced knives on the market. Think about it. You can pay less money and get superior quality from a Gerber. Why would you buy an inferior knife for more money? I wouldn’t either.

Flexible Performance – Most designs of Gerber Legendary Blades have flexible and multifaceted capabilities. Most of them have serrated edges that you can saw through things with it like small branches or medium sized ones. The various designs all have flexibility, but they have differing prices. The costs are still reasonable, though.

Ease and Size – A Gerber knife is known for its small features and ease of use. A knife made like this is used by most FBI or normal local police forces because they can be handy in public places such as sawing through thick ropes or such. Also, they can be concealed easily.

Many outdoor enthusiast and emergency personnel are proud to carry Gerber knives. With over 70 years of production, quality and value are still essential elements at Gerber Legendary Blades. Benefits of carrying one can range from saving your life to just being there when you need to cut something. See for yourself why these knives are so popular by getting one for your pocket before your next outdoor adventure.

Binocular Harnesses Can Save Your Neck

by Bart Icles on February 8, 2010

There he was hanging from the tree. The neck strap had caught on a branch as he fell. It snapped his fall to a sudden stop. His body slammed into the tree, swinging from the strap. Whew, good thing “he” is only your $300 Nikon binoculars. It is too bad the binoculars are broken. The good news, it wasn’t around your neck. Why did you take them off anyway? Was your neck sore? Were the binoculars in your way again? With a Nikon Prostaff binocular harness, both you and the binoculars would have survived the day.

How many of us have removed our binoculars and either laid them down, or hung them from an outcropping on the tree? Admit it, you have probably done it. A neck strap is not very comfortable. The binoculars get in the way when you lean over to grab your thermos. Once you get frustrated dealing with them, you take them off. When you are wearing a properly adjusted binoculars harness you would just wear the binoculars all day. They would be comfortable. The binoculars would stay out of the way. No need to look for that “safe” hanger for your binoculars.

While you were in the tree, did you see the 10-point buck on the horizon? If you binoculars are hanging from the tree, or sitting on the stand, probably not. If they were hanging on your binocular harness strap you would have quick access, and would have seen the buck.

Using a bino harness is not just about convenience and comfort, it really can be an issue of safety. There is less opportunity to get your strap caught on an obstacle when it is remains safely against your body. With a neck strap you have a loose swinging strap hunting for a place to get caught. Most times the strap just gets in the way, but even that is a safety concern. When you are climbing into a tree stand you do not need anything impeding your climb. The binoculars on a harness are out of the way, and your hands and arms are free for the climb.

You remember how you loved using your binoculars when you first bought them. Then after a few outings you started mumbling about them being a hassle to haul around. You can have the old feeling back when you keep them in the right place, and ready for action. No more binoculars flying from trees, only safe, enjoyable spotting of game on the move.
