As Gerber's first assisted opening knife produced, this knife inspired innovation and helped to define a brand.

The FAST draw relies on our proprietary blade opening concept Forward Action Spring Technology, that's so lightning-quick, so pleasingly easy to open with just one hand, its already drawing a lot of attention among knife folks everywhere. The mechanism was created exclusively for Gerber and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton.
