Gerber's best-selling fixed blade, engraved so it stops being a knife and starts being his knife.
The StrongArm is iconic for a reason. Full tang, 420HC steel blade, rubberized diamond-texture grip — a knife you can rely on for decades. The MOLLE-compatible multi-mount sheath system was the first of its kind and offers real customization in how you carry it.
What we add
We take the best knives available and combine them with our precision laser engraving. A name, a unit, a date, a message — or pick from several patterns we already have. This is the gift for the person who has everything, because they do not have this one.

Common questions
How does engraving look on the coated blade?
We remove the ceramic coating where the design goes, leaving bright steel lettering against black. High contrast and very legible.
Does engraving affect the Gerber warranty?
Modifying a knife can affect a manufacturer's warranty. If that matters to you, check with Gerber before ordering.
Can you engrave the sheath too?
We engrave leather sheaths. This sheath is a MOLLE-compatible system rather than leather, so ask us first and we will tell you what is possible.
Is this a good military or first responder gift?
It is one of our most requested. A name, a unit, and a date on a USA-made fixed blade carries well.
Popular for: retirement gifts, military and first responder recognition, graduations, and Eagle Scout presentations.
