Gerber Legendary Blades has recalled about 2,900 sets of its Gerber Uppercut Fixed Blade Knife and Sheath Set because the rigid plastic sheath does not hold the knife securely, allowing it to come out of the sheath unexpectedly, posing a laceration hazard.

Gerber Legendary Blades is asking consumers contact it directly for instructions on returning the sheath for a free replacement sheath.

Gerber Legendary Blades has received one report of a laceration to a consumer that required medical attention, but no stitches. The set was manufactured in China and sold at sporting goods stores nationwide and online at www.gerbergear.com from March 2013 through June 2013 for about $60.

All Uppercut Knife and Sheath sets include a black nylon sheath with an engraved Gerber sword and shield logo printed on the front and “GERBER” engraved on the snap clip on the back. The sheaths are approximately 2.25-inches long and 1.25-inches wide at the top, tapering down to 0.5-inch at the base. The knife sold with the sheath is a T-handled knife with an overall length of 4-inches and a 2-inch double-edged blade that snaps into the molded sheath. The knife has a laser marked white sword and shield logo on the front and a white alphanumeric code on the back tang of the knife. The Uppercut sets that were sold in a box have model number 30-000650 printed on the box. Sets sold in blister pack packaging have model number 31-001727 printed on the packaging.
