Awesome EDC
Love this utility EDC! Carry it every day, for all kinds of chores. Assisted opening is quite snappy also. Button works good too. Not too hard to sharpen either. Good bang for the buck!

Gerber
As Gerber's first assisted opening knife produced, this knife inspired innovation and helped to define a brand. The lightning-quick opening mechanism is still employed today, yet the classic, functional design is all its own. The mechanism was created exclusively for Gerber and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton.

Own one and you'll never carry another
I have two of these knives. Live on a farm and occasionally misplace one but at 63 wht do you expect. My knife goes everywhere with me. Church on Sundays, if i'm jet sking in the lake, or farming cutting hay string. They don't show it in this picture, but the clip is fixed where when you pull this knife from your pocket, your right thumb is positoned on the thumb stud for quick opening of the blade. When carried in the back pocket, you can pull your knife in such a way that its fully opened the second you pull it out. This knife is quicker than any knife ive ever used.
