At first I was disappointed with the spring action on this knife and considered returning it. But now that the knife is broken in and I have gotten used to opening action, I have become very happy with it. The blade is sharp and opens easily with one hand.

I have the serrated and non-serrated models and they are both excellent knives.
Gerber blades come sharp from the factory and, unless you are a purist like me, rarely need a touch-up.
The lock prevents the knife from opening (and closing) when you don’t want it to. The scales are of good materials; however, I still prefer those found on the Gator series knives as they prevent your hand from slipping.
All in all, a very good product from Gerber.

The Gerber FAST Draw is a very good knife. The handle is made of glass-filled nylon zytel (very comfortable and a great grip in your hand). The blade is made of high-carbon surgical stainless steel and comes very sharp straight from the factory and right out of the box. To open: Press the safety button up, and then either push the thumbstud out, or, use the flipper on the back of the handle. The blade will then spring into the open position and will lock automatically. To close the blade, hold the safety button up, then push the blade down with your fingers. The blade opens very quickly and when Gerber tested it against automatic knives, (not Gerber automatics), the FAST draw deployed its blade faster than the automatic knives deployed theirs. Meaning that this knife is faster than some automatic knives. When you open the blade, it locks with an impressive “click”, and the blade is very sharp, sharp enough to cut anything that you would need to.
The FAST draw is an extremely high-quality knife and I highly recommend it!

I love gerber knives but this model has a very small and slippery handle. The thumb notch on the back is waaaaaaaaay to smooth. Is seems to be made more for looks than use.
