Introducing the Dredge from Gerber Gear: a pinnacle of innovation in camping gear that defines versatility and reliability. With its foldable design, the Dredge is the ultimate companion for campers and hikers, seamlessly transforming from a compact, portable tool to a full-sized shovel.

Engineered with the most durable materials, this steel folding shovel boasts a high carbon steel blade, ensuring it stands up to the toughest digging tasks. Whether you're setting up a tent or managing a fire pit, the Dredge is the folding camping shovel that won't let you down. It's not just a shovel for digging; it's a survival tool that's as tough as the challenges you face in the great outdoors.

Its articulating blade can be locked into three positions: open, hoe, and closed. When your adventure is over, the foldable shovel packs down to a manageable size, saving precious space while you trek or travel.

Gerber came to life in 1939 when Portland's own Joe Gerber made the risky move to turn his ad agency into a kitchen knife company. Joe brought his sons Pete and Ham on board, who would help grow the brand from a small kitchen knife company to an internationally known outdoor icon.

Over the past 85 years, Gerber Gear has made knives and tools that have become legends in their own right, providing knives and multi-tools for soldiers on the front lines and making essential gear for hunters, anglers, adventurers, and trade workers.

To this day, we continue to engineer and manufacture innovative, functional, and dependable tools in Portland, Oregon. Our heritage runs deep, and the legend of Joe Gerber's wild idea still inspires everything we do as we look toward the next generation of innovations.
