Be the first with your knife out when you carry the Gerber Fast Draw. With a fine or serrated edge and two ways to open it, this Gerber assisted-opening knife is ready to chop, slice, or carve. Open the Fast Draw manually with your thumb and forefinger. Or use Gerber's Forward Action Spring Technology—trigger the blade's sudden-release button with your index finger to allow the Fast Draw to jump into action. A fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle with a textured grip absorbs impact and ensures years of reliable use.

Bottom Line: Be quick on the draw in the backcountry with the Gerber Fast Draw Knife.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Great Knife for the Value

By:
February 24, 2012

This is a great day to day pocket knife if your looking for something a little larger than your average blade. Fast draw is super handy and makes it easy when only one hand is free. However, Gerber metal is Gerber metal and seems to dull quite easily which doesn't seem to bother me much, I simply resharpen. If you don't know how to sharpen a knife I suggest you learn because this knife will keep you busy. Also, after about 2 months of use the knife lost the majority of its rigidness and loosened up. Simply put, great knife for the value, if you want a top of the line knife go Benchmade, forget Gerber.

This is not an automatic knife/switchblade. It uses spring assisted opening which is legal in all states. You open the "Fast Draw" with the thumb stud mounted on the blade & the spring helps with the opening initiated by that action. An automatic knife uses a button mounted in the handle to release the blade which is already under tension to open.

Release the blade by using the switch on the handle. This action is detailed on the product photo above...F.A.S.T.

Good so far

By:
February 15, 2012

I just got the Gerber Fast Draw Knife and I have to say that it seems to be a pretty solid knife so far. I like that it has a spring assist to help you open it with one hand. I also love that it has a switch on it which locks the blade in the down position so that it won't somehow open in your pocket.
Bottom line, its a sweet knife with a sharp blade and solid handle, which makes it ideal for daily use.

Love it

I can always be the first with my knife drawn. Its absolutely perfect except for the pocket clip. It bends easy if you get it caught on anything. Had to straighten mine with some pliers several times. I wish they would revamp the clip design.

Great Knife Cheaper at Wal-Mart or Amazon

By:
December 2, 2011

I carry this knife every single day, and have for about 5 months. I use it probably 100 times a day (I work in a warehouse) It holds and edge even through tape, cardboard and even the occasional METAL strap. I can easily open and close it with one hand. Only con is that every 3 or 4 weeks I need to tighten up all the screws as it gets a bit wobbly, and the clip starts to loosen, but if you just do that whenever you sharpen it it works out fine.

Unlike a few people I have NEVER had this knife unintentionally open. That being said I always put the switch to the lock position before returning it to my pocket.

I love this knife! I have had no problems with it opening unexpectedly but when I want it to open it does so in a hurry...with only one hand. Two thumbs up!!

Unsafe Knife!

By:
September 13, 2007

Do NOT carry this in your pocket! It will open on any sort of impact [bump into something, flick, it's open in your pocket]. If you own one, try dropping it on the ground from about waist level. It will open. I had one open in my pocket and sink about 1/3 of an inch into my leg. This knife is UNSAFE to use as a pocket knife!
