Ahhh Gerber. I have great memories of the brand from childhood … but that was the 1970s.
In recent years Gerber knives have mostly not been up my alley, but when the Gerber Flatiron came out it turned my head for sure.
Only a Knife Junkie ignores the lessons of experience and buys a knife purely on looks.
Well that’s what I did and I regret/don’t regret it (not exactly a ringing endorsement) — if ergonomics and action are important to you the Gerber Flatiron might leave you cold.
