Let’s continue to explore the story behind Gerber Touché.
The story of Gerber Touché began in 1979, when Mark Allan Boucher was hired by Gerber, a company known for producing high-quality knife. Initially hired to sharpen knife in the factory, Boucher’s fate took an unexpected turn. His creative talent as a carver and a floral artist earned him a promotion in the company, until he became Gerber’s senior graphic designer.
Another key figure played a role in shaping Gerber’s identity. Carver Jim Blair contributed his artistic skills, creating charming wildlife illustrations on Gerber blades, adding a unique style to the company’s products. Jim may be known for his engraving on firearms in the later part of his career, but many of the carvings you see on Gerber handles were made by him. Boucher and Blair incorporated these wildlife carvings into their products, enriching Gerber’s product line and also serving as an eye-catching advertising form, resonating deeply with the customers’ hearts and minds.
The wildlife-centered carvings appealed to the customers, who were mainly outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, hunters and fishermen, who had a deep appreciation for the natural world. The majestic wildlife images etched on the blades and accessories increased the connection with the environment they spent time in, creating a strong sense of resonance between the product and the target user, which we admire very much.
