The Gerber 06 Fast Tanto Folding Knife (brand part no. 30-000118) is built for quick access on the go. Gerber pairs a tanto blade with its FAST opening mechanism, so the blade deploys quickly with one hand, and wraps the handle in textured G-10 that holds on even when wet. A side lock keeps the blade open while you work. At 5.7 ounces it carries as a sturdy everyday folder rather than a light pocket knife.
