Description
GB000118: Gerber 06 FAST - Tanto, Serrated
Gerber
 
Tactical and tough. That's what you get with the 06 FAST, a quick opening knife with G-10 handles for extra grip when wet. The Tanto shaped blade is designed for thrusting.

F.A.S.T. Technology
In 2005, Gerber introduced the proprietary blade opening concept - 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. This exclusive mechanism was developed by acclaimed Oregon custom knife maker Butch Vallotton, whose name graces one of Gerber's line of Assisted Opening Knives.

Cons: Lock Type, None
look ready
i like the 06 & dmf series tanto blades they pierce great and cut even better. the only beef i have with this knife is the locking mechanism. though ive had no problem with this knife one of the last knives from gerber i had with this mechanism literally fell apart. however gerber has great customer service and warranty. so if it does snap il be getting another one

Pros: None
Cons: None
Poor
Slow assisted opening, g10 is slippery, dull blade. Really disappointing as I have other Gerber blades which are built much better and cost way less. I recommend handling this knife before purchase if possible.

Cons: Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Gerber vs SOG
I bought this knife to replace my SOG Aegis tanto I lost. Out of the box, this Gerber was not as Sharp as the SOG and the serrations were not as Sharp either. I sharpened them and now they're sharp, but it took a little work. The action of the spring assist is nice and tight. Lock is tight, but now I've used the knife and carried it for a couple of weeks, I have noticed a little play after the blade locks open. The handle is Very nice and is easy to get a good grip! G10 should be on every knife! Overall, its a good knife but a lil disappointed with out of box sharpness. I would give it a 3.5 but I can't.
