As an everyday carry knife, the FlatIron meets the demands of the day and looks sharp doing it. The dependable blade shape is easy to operate with one hand and simple to stow when not in use.

Gerber came to life in 1939 when Portland's own Joe Gerber made the risky move to turn his ad agency into a kitchen knife company. Joe brought his sons Pete and Ham on board, who would help grow the brand from a small kitchen knife company to an internationally known outdoor icon, turning Portland into a knife industry hub in the process.
Over the past 85 years, they have made knives and tools that have become legends in their own right, from providing knives and multi-tools for soldiers on the front lines to making essential gear for hunters, anglers, adventurers, and trade workers alike.
To this day, they continue to engineer and manufacture innovative, functional, and dependable tools in Portland, Oregon. Their heritage runs deep, and the legend of Joe Gerber's wild idea still inspires everything they do as they look toward the next generation of innovations.
