Gerber Artifact Minitool
This looks like something airport security would shoot you over if you forgot to take it out of your pocket. The Gerber Artifact is a minitool with a replaceable blade and some hodgepodge hammer parts, but something about the design makes it look like a Klingon sword. The blade folds out of the way to prevent severing your femoral artery while playing basketball with the knife in your pocket, and best of all—the Gerber Artifact only costs $10. I guess Gerber has kept costs low by maintaining the same website for 15 years.

That’s not gerber’s site. This is: http://www.gerbergear.com

Umm, gerber-tools.com is not the Gerber website. It even says that on the page, “his site is not owned by, operated by, or affiliated with, The Gerber Legendary Blades division of Fiskars Brands, Inc.”
The official page for the Gerber Artifact is here: http://www.gerbergear.com/product.php?model=1770

gerber-tools.com is an “independent reseller.” Gerber’s website (which actually looks like it’s from this century) is http://www.gerbergear.com.

That’s embarrassing: there’s a bit of a delay in the comments being posted. When I posted my comment, there weren’t any others yet.

Oh boy, I think I need to go hiking with grown ups or something! You said Gerber and I thought “baby food, why is he blogging about baby food…” Lordy!! LOL. This might just make a sweet present for hubby.

I don’t see what you guys think is so old about gerber-tools.com . If you look around the site a bit you’ll see they make their own graphics, which is refreshing since most of the resellers just slap up the stock image provided by the manufacturer. Futhermore, I see gerber-tools.com even has video footage of many pieces of their merchandise. In my opinion gerber-tools.com has the cool site and gerbergear.com has the cheesy one.
