The Gerber Fast Draw assisted-opening knife, Original (Gerber part no. 22-07162) was the first assisted-opening knife Gerber produced, and the design helped define the brand. It uses the proprietary F.A.S.T. (Forward Action Spring Technology) spring assist, so a push on the thumb stud gets the blade moving and the spring finishes the job. Gerber gives it a 3-inch blade, a sliding lock and safety on the handle, and textured glass-filled nylon scales over a steel frame. The tip-up pocket clip makes it an easy everyday carry knife.
