Innovative Technology for Quick, Reliable Deployment
The FAST Draw relies on Forward Action Spring Technology, or F.A.S.T., 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. This is the closest you can get to a street legal switch-blade.

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 F.A.S.T.

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.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-47162 Fast Draw Spring Assisted Opening Stainless Steel Fine Edge Knife

Customer Review: good RIGHT HANDED edc knife
Summary: 5 Stars

The basic design of this knife is very good for right handed use. It is very fast and easy to open one handed, the cross hatched design is very nice, it is very easy to grip and it looks great.

cons: my brother is a lefty, and he doesn't like this knife at all because it is hard to take the safety off and open the blade without putting the safety back on, it also doesn't clip into a left pocket very well and is more likely to open up in your pocket if it is carried on the left side. 4 stars overall would be 2 if I wanted to use this knife left handed. Also, this blade seems pretty sharp out of the box, and I know that the steel is very hard, but it doesn't cut very well for some reason. The only reason I can think of for this is that it has a noticeably concave grind on the edge which makes for a less durable edge. Hopefully, successive sharpening will re-profile the edge enough to fix this.

*edit*
My brother ended up getting an SOG assisted open knife, which he likes pretty well as it is more ambidextrous than this gerber, however, the gerber has a nicer feel to it, the handle has a metal liner which makes it stiffer and thinner compared to the plastic bodied SOG, and the assisted open action feels more positive. I've had it for about 3 months now and it has grown on me to the point that if it broke tomorrow, I would buy another one without a second though. I've also re-profiled the edge a little bit, it isn't terribly sharp as far as that goes, but it holds it's edge very well and after 4 or so initial sharpenings to get the blade where I wanted it, I haven't had to do anything in over a month to keep it there. I am raising my review from 4 to 5 stars for right handed use, still 2 for lefties.
