The different Gerber Remix knives are very handy for general outdoor use. Each knife is lightweight but strong and durable. As with most of the Gerber range, the Gerber Remix knives are designed to last a long time.

The Gerber Remix knives have the easy one-hand opening feature with a large hole for your finger so it can add extra grip and stability. They have two thumb studs which enable them to be opened easily and the slide locking mechanism keeps the blade securely in place when open.

The handles of the Gerber Remix knives are made from titanium coated aluminum which makes them resistant to corrosion. You have a choice between the Gerber Remix and the mini knife if you want a smaller version.

The Gerber Remix knife has a partly serrated blade and this adds to the versatility of the knife. The Gerber Mini-Remix knives offer a choice of a single blade or two blades (one straight and the other serrated) so you can decide which one would suit your needs better. Each blade pivots and locks into place for safety.

The Remix mini version is featured in the September edition of the very popular magazine “Men's Journal.” The reason for this is because of its brilliant design. The magazine features a range of “Perfect Things” such as tools, gear, toys and technology that men enjoy using or playing with as they enjoy a typical male lifestyle.

This is a fantastic recommendation for the Gerber Remix knives. Gerber gets to share the limelight with other prestigious brands such as Porsche and Patagonia. This is not the only magazine that has proudly advertised the Gerber range of knives. Other magazines that have done so in 2010 include: Knives, Outdoor Life, Maxim and SNews.

You can clip your Mini Remix knife to your belt, backpack or pants using the clip. You could also tie a lanyard through the hole and attach it that way if you prefer. Because it is only 3.4 ounces in weight, you can slip the Mini-Remix2 into your pocket and not even notice it's there.

This knife can be used in either hand. This means that left handed people are certainly not discriminated for a change. Buy yourself a Gerber Remix or Gerber Mini-Remix knife when you need to make your next purchase. You won't regret the small investment and you'll be able to brag to your buddies about it, too.

Whatever the job, when you're hunting game, night fishing or trying to survive the wilderness, the right Gerber flashlights will make any night task easier and give you more confidence in your ability to remain safe, whatever you're doing at night.

For instance, the Gerber LED Blood Tracking Light is the pioneer of Gerber flashlights, being one of the first such lights produced beginning in 2005. Today, Trax Technology in Gerber makes this light even more effective with its three-color LED display that allows a user to distinguish something that is actually red such as blood, from items that only contain red, such as leaves, wood, etc. This technology makes Gerber flashlights stand above the rest.

In addition, the Game Tracker is much brighter than other Gerber flashlights and helps ensure your success in tracking, and ultimately retrieving, the game you work so hard for.

Another one of our popular Gerber flashlights is the Omnivore Multi-Battery LED Flashlight with its patent-pending multi-battery feature that allows you to use a number of battery sizes including AA, AAA or CR123. And the .7 watt LED beam offers a bright beam housed in aircraft-grade aluminum to keep it safe.

The LED Infinity Ultra Task Light in black or green is another one of the most popular Gerber flashlights offering approximately 60 hours of light on just two AA batteries. Its tight, patent-pending design ensures you can stash this flashlight in even the smallest space and still access a bright light as needed.

The epoxy-coated circuitry makes the Infinity Ultra Task one of the most durable and reliable Gerber flashlights you can buy. And it's water resistant, which is always a plus when you're out in the wild. It comes with an LED bulb that gives light up to 30 feet away and never needs replacing.

The TriTac Tactical is a three-bulb, extra bright example of how Gerber flashlights combine compact design with rugged capability. Able to provide impressively bright light for up to 50 feet, the TriTac Tactical weighs only 4.6 ounces, but its anti-roll design, coupled with anodized aircraft-quality aluminum showcases the extraordinary properties of this flashlight

It runs on two AA batteries, and comes equipped with a lock-off switch to prevent its being turned on accidentally. This is an ideal light for survival training with its permanent-on and intermittent signal modes. Gerber flashlights like this one are used by military personnel as well as civilians.

There are many other Gerber flashlights that offer a variety of technological advances such as the Recon M-CPL Task Light, a military-grade light offering red and white lenses with a green Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) output that allows for full color rendering compatible with night vision goggles.

Or there's the RX350 Xenon, one of the Gerber flashlights that offer a blinding high output Xenon beam cased in an aircraft-quality aluminum body with rear switch actuation. This model weighs only 2.9 ounces comes equipped with an effective spot to flood reflector that's good up to 225 feet away.

Whatever your need, there's Gerber flashlights to provide the illumination you need for the job. Compare Gerber flashlights quality construction with their recognized name and reliability and you're sure to choose Gerber the next time you buy.

Each Gerber LMF is a rugged, adaptable survival knife chosen for versatility and strength. Designed by former military man, Jeff Freeman, the Infantry knife is in use by military personnel who know the need for a dependable knife they can count on in tough situations.

This 10" survival knife offers a blade of almost 5" made of sturdy stainless steel. The Gerber LMF was field-tested by military troops who proved this knife as dependable as the men and women who carry it. The LMF can slash through fuselage, quickly disconnect a stubborn strap or seat belt, or cut up firewood and other materials for erecting shelter in the wilderness.

The Gerber LMF is a strong, adaptable survival knife that can double as a spear when needed. The ballistic nylon sheath, complete with fire retardant coating contains a built-in sharpener to ensure the drop point stainless serrated blade remains sharp and efficient. The LMF also comes in three colors, coyote brown, black, and green.

Weighing only 11.4 ounces with it's over molded handle, the Gerber LMF knife offers its users peace of mind when survival depends on the tools they have on hand. In addition, the shock-prevention over molded handle is designed to remain a snug fit even under wet conditions while protecting against shock caused by hammering or electricity.

Americas 1st Freedom Magazine of October 2006 tells the story of Dillard Johnson, a platoon sergeant with the 3rd Cavalry who proved the worth of his own Gerber LMF II.

Undermanned and facing an enemy attack while stationed in Iraq, Sgt. Johnson was able to use his Gerber LMF to successfully sever two 220-volt power lines that powered a wall of floodlights and that placed their troops in danger.

Needing the cover of darkness for their safety, Johnson, though unsure if the knife would protect him, wedged the Gerber LMF behind the power lines and used his body weight to cut the lines. While he could feel the heat from the lines as they arced, his mission was successful and darkness was restored allowing Johnson and his partners to wait for rescue without detection.

If you're looking for a dependable, rugged survival tool that you can use with confidence, knowing that it will provide the service you need, consider the Gerber LMF. Not only can you be proud of the USA construction, but you can know that you're in the company of a great company of users - United States military personnel.
