View larger.Innovative Technology for Quick, Reliable Deployment
The FAST Draw relies on Forward Action Spring Technology, or FAST, that was designed exclusively for Gerber and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton. Butch is known as "Mr. Mechanism" in the custom-knife world, a tribute to his unique designs and exceptional understanding of opening and locking mechanisms. This new, proprietary blade opening concept means that you can deploy your knife quickly and easily using just one hand.

Of course, when a job calls for more deliberate actions, you can also open this knife in the traditional way, using the thumb stud.

Convenient, Safe, and Dependable Over Time
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 fine-edged cutting surface that can easily be sharpened using standard methods. FAST Draw is the first in a series of knives utilizing "Fast Technonogy." Others include the Mini-Fast, Draw, Aluminum Presto 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, Vallotton, PR2.5 and PR3.0, Convert Fast, Mini Convert Fast, Answer 3.25, Tanto and Drop Point FAST

This drop-point blade, which is stronger than the clip-point style blades used on many pocket knives, fits neatly in the handle when not in use, so you don't have to worry about damaging it or hurting yourself.

The knife is precisely balanced to sit comfortably in your hand and features a glass-filled nylon handle for strength and durability. Texturing on the handle surface ensures a secure grip for improved control.

At just 3.6 ounces, the slim FAST Draw knife is light enough to take with you anywhere. And with the included sturdy pocket clip, you always know right where your knife is.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.

Customers are mixed about the ease of opening the knife. Some mention it opens quick, has a firm grip, and it's very sharp. The spring assist is really nice as it helps it open a little fast and smooth. However, others say that it was nearly impossible to open as you would expect for it to work and as it was so incredibly stiff and impossible to opening with one hand. Initially, it was a bit difficult to get it to snap open, but after playing with it a.

Customers are mixed about the lock. Some mention that the locking mechanism is very nice and intuitive, while others say that it doesn't lock unless they put extra pressure on it. The locking switch is finicky and catches sometimes. The lock is hard to shift and this interference prevents the lock from fully seating.

This is a great knife. I lost my last one so bought another. In the description it says blade length Is 2.1 and overall length is 5” which it is. Under measurements however it says it’s 6” overall which it isn’t. Some may not be concerned if it’s said to be 6” but is actually 5” or 7”, but to me it matters. Otherwise it’s a great knife, durable, holds an edge, and easily sharpened. Why I replaced the one I had for years with the same exact knife.
