Strong yet lightweight, this fun and easy-to-use pocket knife features the patented f.a.s.t. Blade opening technology that is pleasingly easy to open with just one hand, making it an excellent choice for self-defense and outdoor adventures. The fast draw relies on forward action spring technology, or f.a.s.t., designed exclusively for gerber and patented by famed oregon knife maker butch vallotton. Known as 'mr. Mechanism' in the custom-knife world, butch's unique designs and exceptional understanding of opening and locking mechanisms shine in this folding knife. This proprietary blade opening concept allows you to deploy your knife quickly and easily using just one hand, rivaling the speed of a box cutter. When a job calls for more deliberate actions, you can also open this outdoor knife in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer to use. With a strong, sharp blade, you can make the cuts you want quickly and efficiently. That's why gerber uses a high-carbon stainless steel blade on the fast draw. This large, 2.99-inch blade offers a serrated cutting surface that is perfect for tough jobs like cutting rope or scaling fish, making it an excellent addition to your hunting knife collection or survival gear kit. Review: I've carried a pocket knife for 40+ years. This is the only one for me for a variety of reasons. - I have had this exact Gerber knife in my pocket since they became available. In my opinion it is the very best, most sensible, practical pocket knife one can have. Believe it or not, one of my favorite features is the simple, easily accessible, sliding lock mechinism. If you think this little lock will slow you down I can assure that it will not. The placement of this lock-switch is such that you can activate it and open the knife with your thumb all in virtually one move. You won't even think about after you've had the knife for a little while It just becomes automatic. Then, when you go to close the knife, you slide the little switch to allow the blade to move freely. The reason why this little lock it so important is because a spring loaded pocket knife an actually open in your pocket on occasions just enough to catch your finger when you reach for it. I am not saying this is likely to happen but it can happen and it happened to me many years ago. It also happened to a guy I was working with. That guy is the same person who turned me on to this knife to begin with. I find a use for this knife many times per day and at times I have been very rough on it. I never leave home without it. By the way, I received an expensive pocket knife with a value of around $100 as a gift from my brother a few years back. It is top quality in every way. It sits in my desk drawer and I will not carry it in my pocket because it does not have the locking feature that the Gerber has. I think it is a great value for the money, it's the perfect size for day to day use and I find it very durable in every way. I highly recommend this pocket knife! Review: Great personal knife. I highly recommend. - Love the Gerber knife. It definitely goes with my collection. Very sharp, the weight is nice and very sturdy, and opening and closing the knife works perfectly. I have had it probably two years. but, I don’t use it for working. I just wanted a Gerber. I carry it all the time. ## Features - EASY DEPLOY: Fast draw compact folding knife deploys quickly and easily with one hand, perfect for EDC and self-defense - COMPACT AND CONVENIENT: Overall length 7.13", closed length 4.17", blade length 2.99", weight 3.6 oz - compact and lightweight for everyday carry - SLIM DESIGN FOR EASY CARRY: Tactile texturing on nylon handle ensures a secure grip for improved control in various outdoor situations - COMPACT AND CONVENIENT SIZE: High carbon surgical stainless steel blade offers durability and sharpness, ideal for survival and hunting tasks - EASE OF USE: Sturdy pocket clip keeps your survival knife close and easily accessible for quick deployment; Backed by the Gerber Guarantee, a limited lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000EDVU4S | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #209,661 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #476 in Pocketknives | | Blade Edge | Serrated | | Blade Length | 2.99 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Clip Point | | Blade Type | Serrated | | Brand | Gerber | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 519 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658471610 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Nylon | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Included components | Pocket Clip | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 7.13 Inches | | Item Weight | 3.6 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Gerber Legendary Blades | | Model Name | Gerber Blades - Fast Draw - Assisted Open, Serrated Edge in Clam Pack | | Model Number | 22-47161 | | Model name | Gerber Blades - Fast Draw - Assisted Open, Serrated Edge in Clam Pack | | Orientation | upright | | Part Number | 22-47161N | | Power Source | AC/DC | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor activities, utility tasks, and rescue operations | | Recommended uses for product | Outdoor activities, utility tasks, and rescue operations | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3 بوصة | | Special Features | Folding,Lightweight,Locking,Pocket Clip | | Special features | Folding,Lightweight,Locking,Pocket Clip | | Style | Serrated | | Theme | Outdoor | | UPC | 971477675223 617407556605 803983117136 015568868603 013658471610 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Gerber - **Model name:** Gerber Blades - Fast Draw - Assisted Open, Serrated Edge in Clam Pack - **Recommended uses for product:** Outdoor activities, utility tasks, and rescue operations - **Special features:** Folding,Lightweight,Locking,Pocket Clip ## Images ![Gear Gerber Fast Draw Knife, Assisted Opening, Serrated Edge [22-47161], Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615+CeKJDOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've carried a pocket knife for 40+ years.
