My response from Gerber:
Following Jim Zumbo's recent comments, those of us at Gerber would like to clarify that we respect the opinion of our sponsored hunters and users however, we do not necessarily agree with all their opinions, nor do we endorse their public statements. Our presence and development in the tactical and hunting markets is proof-positive we are committed to supporting these industries and all those involved. Since Jim's blog was published he has issued this apology:

Thanks for supporting our rights and for supporting Gerber Legendary Blades.
Sounds like they are ignoring the issue. I'll ignore them.
A bigger issue is that his retraction didn't say anything about the "terrorists" he labeled in the initial statement. Hmmm...
