They actually produce a lot in the USA, state of Oregon now.Gerber is stepping up their game
I've had a few Gerber knives over the years, and I have not been impressed with their blade steel, it's crap IMHO. I've had better luck with cheap D2 knives from China sad to say.
I do realize where cheap Gerber knives are made and Gerber is no longer on my radar, because they have sold their soul to China.
They sent me an entire new knife! It’s not auto opening like the one it’s replacing most likely because of where I live (bough the auto opener in a freer state) but it is assisted opening.
I can’t decide if I want to keep it as is or skeletonize it for the parts I need for the Auto or if the auto will just become the car backup knife.
Keep vs carry. The auto stays in my car emergency kit now.Your first post leads me to believe the auto opener is forbidden in your State. If that’s the case, seems like a liability to keep it.
Liability might also be why they sent you an entire new legal in your State knife vs parts for you to repair one that is not.
Gerber did not sell their soul to China. US politicians and the NIMBY attitude against factories of all kinds are why companies are making product where they are still allowed to.I do realize where cheap Gerber knives are made and Gerber is no longer on my radar, because they have sold their soul to China.

Ah, legal to own just not have on your person?
That's nice to hear.They actually produce a lot in the USA, state of Oregon now.
What do you not like about Gerber steel, and what knives/steel do you own ? Thanks for any info .That's nice to hear.
Sorry, I don't know where all of those BIG letters came from
I hope Gerber will offer knives with better steel. I've had five and I'm down to three, all but one is US made and I'm still getting tired of sharpening the three I have left.
The one that started this post is s30v which is fine steel for most people in my opinion.That's nice to hear.

It’s one of those things that’s illegal but only enforced in certain areas (like NYC). The cops in my area don’t really care either way. It’s one of those things like, where if you used it in a crime they’d use the fact that it was Auto to put additional charges on but if not, nobody cares that much.Ah, legal to own just not have on your person?

How many cops have seen it and said you are good to go ?It’s one of those things that’s illegal but only enforced in certain areas (like NYC). The cops in my area don’t really care either way.

YeahThe laws that are not enforced are the ones that I really hate, they are just waiting to be selectively enforced...

Correct. There are people who don’t realize these aren’t the same thing lol.Are you in NY state, but not in NYC?
aren’t the same thing
I had no clue assisted open was considered a switchblade in NYS
I agree. The Gerbers I have were purchased 25-30 years ago, the stainless something steel does not hold a edge well.The one that started this post is s30v which is fine steel for most people in my opinion
