Product Information:

Gerber is an iconic American company whose brand and products have global reach and relevance. For more than 70 years Gerber has provided its customers with quality, reliable and innovative products that our end-users have come to expect.

All Gerber products are designed and engineered in Portland, Oregon where many are also manufactured. However, unauthorized individuals and companies are creating and distributing counterfeit Gerber products. Counterfeit products do not meet Gerber's exacting quality and safety standards, and do not have Gerber's Full Lifetime Warranty.

Counterfeit products are visually deceptive and may fool unsuspecting consumers. This is a serious issue that impacts Gerber's customers and brand. Once identified, Gerber takes aggressive actions to shut illegal activities down and stop unsafe fake Gerber products from entering the market.

Counterfeit products are often listed on e-commerce websites including Alibaba, eBay and Amazon, and sold to unsuspecting buyers as "genuine" or "100% authentic" items at prices close to retail.

To ensure you are receiving a quality, authentic Gerber product and Gerber's Full Lifetime Warranty, always buy from an authorized Gerber retailer or directly from Gerber.

Purchase quality Gerber products from legitimate authorized retailers. There are many counterfeit products being sold on e-commerce websites including Amazon, eBay and China's Alibaba/AliExpress.

When in doubt, check the Gerber website, or compare a suspected product to an authentic Gerber knife at an authorized retailer.

If you purchased a counterfeit from an e-commerce website (including eBay, AliExpress or Amazon) always keep the counterfeit product as proof for your dispute, the manufacturer or authorities. If returned, the seller will claim it is not counterfeit, or re-sell it to another unsuspecting consumer. Contact your credit-card company and dispute the charges - you have the counterfeit product as proof. Leave negative "Counterfeit" feedback for the seller.
