Last month, Gerber launched the Gerber Reserve Program to add a little extra exclusivity to a line of premium, American-made knives available only online.
Gerber is an industry leader in knives, multi-tools, and cutting tools, but the brand has also been making several plays to reach consumers who are looking for those more exclusive options, as well. Gerber introduced a custom shop this past summer to give customers thousands of design options and an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind blade. The Gerber Reserve program takes this whole “exclusive” concept to another level.
The whole idea is these knives are 100% American made in Portland, Oregon. Not just that, they’re also made exclusively in small batches using “premium-grade materials” and sold directly to consumers.
Gerber Terracraft
Gerber kicked the program off in late October, starting with the Terracraft. It’s a full-size fixed-blade knife designed to handle “all safety, security, and survival situations the outdoors may throw your way.” The knife’s full-tang construction coupled with an extra-thick S30V blade provides resilience to abuse, and stays sharp job after job.

- Extremely ergonomic layered G10 scales
- Full tang construction
- Through holes for lashing
- 90 degree spine for fire striking
- Hammer-ready pommel
- American leather sheath

Gerber Sedulo
Today, a new player in Gerber’s Reserve Program becomes available for pre-order, the Sedulo.
This model is a pocket knife built for every day carry purposes. It’s a folding knife with an S30V steel blade with a plain edge and full-panel grind. The easy-to-operate pivot lock can be accessed from both sides of the knife. When not in use, the Sedulo slips out of sight with a deep carry pocket clip. A built-in lanyard hole offers a secondary carry or security option.
Pre-orders will ship on November, 24.

“The new products coming out in the Gerber Reserve Program set themselves apart with American-made craftsmanship, premium materials, and top-quality construction,” said Seth Jaramus, Gerber industrial design manager. “These knives will blur the lines between utility use and the gentleman collector looking for the best everyday-carry option.”
