Case & Sons Cutlery Company and subsequently left to form his own cutlery business called Rockwell Knife Company which operated from 1909 to 1910; he eventually went on to form Ridge Tool Company of Elyria Ohio where he designed and manufactured bits for rock drills used in coal mines . His nephew Peter Gerber (1910–1996) apprenticed under him at the tool company before eventually moving to Portland Oregon where he started an advertising agency that specialized in promoting outdoor products; one of his clients happened to be Rockwell Knife Co.. In 1939 during the build-up prior World War II ,Gerber recognized the need for quality knives that could be used by American soldiers especially paratroopers ; your average pocket knife just wasn't going cut it (no pun intended).
