Tactical and tough. That's what you get with the 06 FAST, a quick opening knife with G-10 handles for extra grip when wet. The Tanto shaped blade is designed for thrusting.
F.A.S.T. Technology
In 2005, Gerber introduced the proprietary blade opening concept - Forward Action Spring Technology - or F.A.S.T. Using one hand, the blade is opened approximately ten degrees, allowing the spring to drive the blade lightening-quick the rest of the way into the open position. This exclusive mechanism was developed by acclaimed Oregon custom knife maker Butch Vallotton, whose name graces one of Gerber's line of Assisted Opening Knives.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.

Gerber 06 FAST Assisted Folding Knife 3.8" Black Tanto Combo Blade, G10 Handles

Gerber 06 FAST Assisted Folding Knife 3.8" Black Tanto Combo Blade, G10 Handles
I don’t use a knife for work. My interest is self defense.I have several high end custom knives that are similar to this Gerber (I bought the tanto blade/G10). I find this knife to be a very good value. The piece I received had no problems out of the box. The handles feel good. The blade is sharp and the knife locks up strong. I think it opens plenty fast. The balance and weight are perfect for me (I wear a large shirt).I don’t think you can go wrong here. Some might think it heavy for an EDC but for my purposes it’s not a concern. Knife Center got it out fast after very good customer service answered a couple of my questions. I’m satisfied with this purchase.
Gerber 06 FAST Assisted Folding Knife 3.8" Black Tanto Combo Blade, G10 Handles
I am a faithful Gerber owner going on my 5th year with this very knife. This knife gets use from outdoor, construction, recreational, and as protection. Comfortable in the hand, though it will take singe time and use to break in. Only downfall I've found is upon accidental drop, the knife can, and will asy times open unexpected. But all in all I'd Highly recommend!
