Show Notes on Gerber Knifes

• Started in 1939 in Portland Oregon
• Huge support of the military and number one in knife supplier for the military.
• Know yourself and what you want before you purchase your knife
• A knife is a tool and it can be very specific and very personal to each person.
• Knife laws very from state to state so you want to make sure you research on your your stuff.
• Classic fixed blade knife is usually your general knife of choice something like Gerber Strong Arm which is a full fixed blade knife.
• Rule of thumb with, S30 V blade is going to out perform from an edge retention over a 420 High carbon Steal blade when using in the field.
• You want to keep you eye out for the progression of edge retention and rockwell hardness
