Gerber makes great stuff, I often carry a Gerber multi-tool.

For folding knives...mostly Gerber, Victorinox, and Buck, but lots of others that I don't carry.

For sheath/fixed blades...mostly Buck, but I have a lovely short, 3" K-Bar that has been way better than I would have expected, and a couple of ancient Boy Scout issue knives.

For multi-tools...Gerber and Leatherman.

I started carrying a pocket knife as a kid and never stopped. We pretty much live in the golden age of knives right now, there are so many choices I guy could buy his way to the poorhouse.
