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 our lines of assisted opening knives. Review: I've carried a pocket knife for 40+ years. This is the only one for me for a variety of reasons. - I have had this exact Gerber knife in my pocket since they became available. In my opinion it is the very best, most sensible, practical pocket knife one can have. Believe it or not, one of my favorite features is the simple, easily accessible, sliding lock mechinism. If you think this little lock will slow you down I can assure that it will not. The placement of this lock-switch is such that you can activate it and open the knife with your thumb all in virtually one move. You won't even think about after you've had the knife for a little while It just becomes automatic. Then, when you go to close the knife, you slide the little switch to allow the blade to move freely. The reason why this little lock it so important is because a spring loaded pocket knife an actually open in your pocket on occasions just enough to catch your finger when you reach for it. I am not saying this is likely to happen but it can happen and it happened to me many years ago. It also happened to a guy I was working with. That guy is the same person who turned me on to this knife to begin with. I find a use for this knife many times per day and at times I have been very rough on it. I never leave home without it. By the way, I received an expensive pocket knife with a value of around $100 as a gift from my brother a few years back. It is top quality in every way. It sits in my desk drawer and I will not carry it in my pocket because it does not have the locking feature that the Gerber has. I think it is a great value for the money, it's the perfect size for day to day use and I find it very durable in every way. I highly recommend this pocket knife! Review: Great knife. - There are two versions of this knife. The one built in Portland Oregon, and this one which is made in China. The better one is SV30 steel, push button, standard military issued, and around 250 dollars. It’s heavier. Built completely out of steel. I think they’re no longer available. Haven’t seen them around in a while. This is the cheaper version. The handle is made out of something that feels like graphite, and the steel is a lower quality. Instead of a button, there’s a switch, and the blade will Fast Assist from the side with pressure from your thumb. I have the better version, and I adore it so much that I wanted the cheaper version. I primarily carry this cheaper version around because one, it’s legal in my state whereas the latter is not, and two, I figure if I lose the inferior one, it’ll be an easier loss. I’m happy with it. I’m a big fan of this Tanto Gerber knife. I’ll include a picture with both versions. The better on the left, and this one on the right.

Good luck… ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, general use knife *by D***8 on January 29, 2012* I work in Kandahar, Afghanistan and had need for a light, general use knife. After six months of daily use I like this knife so much that I plan to buy another and one with a regular blade so that I have them when Gerber stops making them! The spring action is easy to use and quick. I did have it open in my back pocket which was because I didn't set the lock after use. It opened my pants very well! The lock is a bit stiff at first but both it and the spring action smooth out with time. I don't worry about it failing because all hinged knives have weak points and will fail under constant use. Just how long - who knows? The stainless steel blade takes a edge quickly, and goes dull just as fast - as all stainless steel blade do. I recommend you always keep a pocket sharpener with you. The serrated blade is a bit to short for many jobs such as sawing through a big box or rope, but works well for most things. I have a small tapered round sharpener to keep an edge on the serrations. The clip is getting weak from use. But it takes only a minute to remove it, bend it a bit and you're back in business. The clip even has a hole to access the blind screw. For the price you will be hard press to find a better day to day carry knife. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gerber Gear - Gerber Gear Truss 17-in-1 EDC Needle Nose Pliers Multi tool - includes Pocket Knife, Screwdriver, and Bottle Opener Accessories - Gifts for Men, Fishing and Camping Gear - Black with Molle Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5784256-gerber-gear-06-fast-folding-pocket-knife-tactical-tanto-pocket](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5784256-gerber-gear-06-fast-folding-pocket-knife-tactical-tanto-pocket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
