Tactical and tough, the Gerber 06 F.A.S.T. clip folding knife is based on the best-selling 06 Auto design and matched with Gerber's proprietary forward action spring technology--or F.A.S.T. 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. The distinctive tanto blade of this Gerber 06 F.A.S.T. excels at thrusting and picking, while the half fine and half serrated edge blade helps with both cutting and ripping. The textured G-10 handle ensures a sure grip, and the pocket clip enables easy carrying. The blade measures 3.8 inches, and it has an overall length of 8.6 inches when opened and 4.8 inches when closed. Easily pocketable, it weighs 5.7 ounces. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Gerber's done it again with a really great knife!! It's a little large for Everyday carry It's the same size as my motorola droid closed. But for those who prefer a bigger EDC knife like myself you'll get used to it in no time. The Grip is absolutley the best grip i've ever had on a knife and i've had my fair share in the past. The ONLY downside to this knife is that the saftey "switch" when it's closed is a little on the loose side for my liking but i haven't really had any major issues with it. The look and overall feel are just great and i'd highly reccomend this knife!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gerber D.M.F. from a military perspective., March 23, 2011

I have a D.M.F. however it is the Auto version, it is a wonderful knife it will take a severe beating and work like a charm. I used mine for purposes it was never meant for while in Afghanistan. The quality is top notch! It never failed to open and only slightly dulled on me throughout my 120 day rotation.

Hey,
For those of you that are LH as I am, this knife is just a little hard to open.
The blade lock is designed for RH users.
Also, if you buy it, don't be dicouraged as the auto open mechanism will break
in and become smoother after about a hundred openings (deployments)
so just pracice with it and keep it oiled.
