Replacement Parts and Warranty
Q: My Gerber product failed under normal use, is this covered under the warranty?
A: Please refer to the warranty information that came with your product. If you still have questions, please call Gerber at 1-800-950-6161 or email them at [email protected], and provide your name, address, phone number, and the model of your Gerber product.
Q: I do not live in the United States. Is there a place I can return my Gerber for warranty repair?
A: Currently, Gerber only completes repairs at their main factory in Portland, Oregon. Please refer to Return Section below for the address to return the product.
Q: I returned my Gerber for warranty, how long will it take until I have my Gerber back?
A: Standard turn-around time is two to four weeks, pending product availability, seasonal activity and holidays.
Q: If Gerber uses stainless steel, why has rust occurred on my Gerber product?
A: Gerber products use a 100% high-grade stainless steel. Stainless steel is not completely resistant to rust, but rather is more corrosion resistant to rust. Corrosion can occur in the absence of proper maintenance. Your Gerber product should be cleaned, dried, and re-oiled periodically to inhibit rust and corrosion; this is especially true in a damp or marine environment. If your Gerber product comes in contact with any substance that you are uncertain about, it is always a good idea to wash your blade off with tap water, dry it, and apply a light coat of oil. If your Gerber product comes into contact with saltwater you must flush it with tap water immediately after use and coat it with a good quality lightweight oil. Salt water is extremely corrosive and will attack and destroy any type of steel. After cleaning, re-oil your Gerber product with a good gun oil or 3-in-1 oil. Buff stained areas with a polishing cloth or a non-metallic scouring pad.
Q: My Gerber product was lost or stolen. Will Gerber replace it?
A: No, stolen or lost products are not covered under warranty. Our warranty covers material and manufacturing defects.
Q: I broke a blade and would like to replace the part myself, can Gerber send me the part I need or can I get it from a Gerber retailer?
A: For Liability reasons, we will not send blades or implements for self-repair. For all product defects, please return your product to Gerber for Warranty Services.
Q: The sheath on my Gerber was lost or has worn out can I get a replacement?

Q: The pocket clip on my Gerber knife broke, how could I get a replacement?
A: We can send you a replacement pocket clip, pocket clip screws, and/or handle screws on select products. Complete the Warranty Submission Form and provide details of the parts needed in the section “How was the product being used?”. To expedite this service, please be clear as to which parts you require for self-repair. All parts are proprietary to the product. If you are unsure of the name and model number of your product, visit our website to help identify your product.
Q: I own a Gerber Multi-Plier and want a different blade installed in place of another part, can this be done?
A: Each model of Multi-Plier contains a group of tools that are designed to meet the needs of a vast array of interests and needs. We cannot substitute different blades or implements from one model to another or change the order in which they’re installed.
Q: If Gerber cannot send replacement blades, can they send me the c-clip, spring, button that are used to retract the pliers?
A: Yes, for the MP400 and MP600 model tools these parts are easily self-repairable. Email us at [email protected] and provide your name, address, phone number, the model number of the Multi-Plier and the requested parts.
Q: The triangular tungsten carbide cutters on my Gerber Multi-Plier have worn out or broke, where can I get replacements?
