Gerber Radius in LA Times

From The LA Times:

First look: Oregon-based Gerber Legendary Blades has been in the
business for 70 years, making shovels, knives and hydration packs for civilian
and military use. We tested the Gerber Radius, which has ergonomically
comfortable rubber handles and tools that fold out of the sides so you don’t
have to open the butterfly-style pliers to use the gadgets. The Radius packs
four tools — scissors, screwdriver, can opener and a 2.5-inch blade — besides
the needle-nose pliers.

Likes and yikes: Sure, the Radius is a behemoth compared with other
multi-tools, measuring 4.75 inches and weighing in at about 9 ounces. But we
liked the Radius over all the other models tested because the design and rubber
grip handles make it feel more like an instrument than a piece of hardware. The
blade is wickedly sharp; the tools have protruding knobs, making them easy to
open; and the pliers are spring-loaded so they can be used easily with one
hand.

The 411: $75, available at REI, Cabela’s and other sporting-goods
stores, or call (800) 950-6161, www.gerbergear.com.

Racing the Planet held the Brunton and Gerber sponsored "Atacama Crossing" leg of the 4 Deserts race series this past week in Chile.

The Atacama Desert in Chile is reportedly the driest place on earth. Along with being a race sponsor, we also sponsored an individual team.  Partnering with our distributor in Chile, Andes Gear, who assembled the team on the ground in Chile and stocked them with Gerber and Brunton tools for the race.  The team was known as: Team  Brunton, Gerber, Andes Gear.  One of the members, Matias, had to withdrawal from the race due to some severe injuries.  But the remaining members, Juan and Pablo did very well individually.  Juan won the last stage of the race, Stage 6 and placed 9th overall and Pablo came in 13th out of 51 competitors. 

Here’s a link below to the RTP website that shows the leaderboard of the race and has links to some 900 photos of the race, including the attached photos of our team and products in use.

Brunton makes another great showing in the 2008 Camping Life Gear Guide. The Polaris lantern and Cub Stove were featured in this year’s issue.

"Brunton equipment is known for durability and reliability, and the Wyoming-based company offers a full range of camp stoves, from the sophisticated Wind River Range to the simple and elegant Gannett Grill. New is the diminutive, yet powerful Cub, the economical, compact stove for the car-camping couple that is also perfect for backpacking."

Men’s Journal (circ. 700K) featured 5 "beautiful" knives in their May Gear Guide. As you might guess, Gerber’s Freeman Folder made the cut.

"Grasp the thick, lacquered pear-wood handle, letting the 3.63-inch carbon-stainless-steel blade project savagely from your fist, and you’ll understand why hunters love the Freeman."

"Whether skinning a deer or just cutting open a package of mail-order bacon."
