Gerber Legendary Blades is proud beyond description to introduce our first spring-assisted knife. The FAST Draw relies on our proprietary new blade opening concept—Forward Action Spring Technology—that's so lightning-quick- so pleasingly easy to open with just one hand- it's already drawing a lot of attention among knife folks everywhere.The mechanism was created exclusively for us and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton. Should you choose- you can open the FAST Draw in the traditional way- using the thumb stud. Or- if speed is the order of the day- you can simply trigger the blade's sudden release with your index finger. It's an exciting knife concept that certainly belongs in your collection.Overall Length: 7.13- Length Closed: 4.17- Length of Blade: 2.99- Weight: 3.6 oz.
