Gerber Fastball Knife
Gerber has long crafted some of the best American-made knives and the new Fastball is a slim, lightweight finger flip pocket knife that is a premium addition to the Gerber lineup. A superior three-inch Wharncliffe blade provides just the right angle and length to handle any daily task with enhanced precision at the tip. Made from S30V stainless steel, the blade is corrosion resistant and supplies extreme edge retention.
The Fastball is built on Gerber’s B.O.S.S. (Balls of Stainless Steel) Tech system which uses stainless steel ball bearings to provide a stable and consistent deployment. This ensures a super-smooth transition from closed to open every single time. And the cage system keeps the balls contained for sustained, steady functioning over the launch haul. Not to mention, a three-position pocket clip on the aircraft grade aluminum handle also gives the option of ambidextrous carry. Coming in three colorways (flat sage, urban grey and black) this lightweight pocket knife is an everyday carry that you’ll have in your pockets the rest of your life.
