Whats up with Gerber?
on: December 21, 2014, 06:08:55 AM
Last night I checked out gerbergear.com to see if there was anything new out. There wasnt.
So i tried to find the 2014 catalog, but there was none, just the 2013 catalog. And the news page had not been updated at all in 2014.
Gerber used to be the king of marketing, with lots of cool camapigns. Now there was none.
Also as far as I know, there havent been any new tools this year. Gerber used to be at the front with new and sometimes strange designs every year.
Whats going on?

No new products and a unupdated website is usually one of the first signs of a company going down the drain.
Has anyone else also noticed this?
I hope this is not the case, and Im just imagening things.

Edit: there are also a lot of tools and knives that has been removed from the site. There was no military knives, and just two military tools and  Just one tactical knife.

Edit: it seems im living in the wrong country and using an older Ipad is the problem.
Please Ignore my my previous statements about Gerber.

Are we looking at the same site?
I can see the 2014 product catalog and the 2015 tactical product catalog.
And also a new for 2014 page.

Smurf their "you are not living in the right country" filter. Whats the point in not diplaying all available tools to everyone?

Thanks zoidberg!

Can someone post their 2014 catalog in pdf?

I tried.  The Gerber 2014 product catalog is over 23 MB and the tactical catalog is over 16 MB.  They exceed the maximum allowable size attachments for the forum.

The Gerber page is one of the most annoying pages... but you can easily remove the country limitation, but only once you're away from the main page.

So, just make sure there is a www instead of your country code.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.
