Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-41578 Gorge Folding ShovelCustomer Review: A backpacking shovel?
When someone comments on a shovel's usefulness for backpacking they lose all credibility. Can you please describe a scenario in a normal backpacking trip where you will need a shovel, or even a saw? This isn't the 1950's, woodcraft is dead and you don't need to be digging a trench around a tent.

Fold-Down Design for Space-Saving Portability
Because the Gorge folds down from 16.25 inches to just 9.25 inches, it won't take up too much space and is easily packable. At 28 ounces, it's small enough to toss in a bag or backpack without weighing you down. For added convenience, it comes with a nylon drawstring bag for storage and portability.
Fast Push-Button Slide Mechanism for Ease of Use
Made to be responsive and easy to use, the Gorge features a fast push-button slide mechanism, as well as an ergonomic, fiberglass-filled nylon handle with rubberized overgrip for a secure, comfortable hold. Its durable blade is crafted from carbon steel for extraordinary durability, no matter what the conditions. To extend its usability, this blade can also be sharpened.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.
