Gerber Assisted Opening

In 2005 Gerber introduced an innovative blade opening concept which became known as Forward Action Spring Technology, or the F.A.S.T. system. Only one hand is required to open the blade approximately ten degrees. Then the spring-assisted mechanism drives the blade open at lightning quick speed. Some may question the legalities of this system, but the manufacturing and use of these fine quality knives comply with all federal laws and are well within all legal limitations in all states according to Gerber.

These folding lockblades feature high quality stainless steel, and most models feature a pocket clip and safety button to keep these knives securely safe at all times. Gerber has been manufacturing state-of-the-art knives and gear for over 65 years, and Gunther Gifts is proud to offer the entire Gerber product line.

Gerber is a classic American brand. Gerber was actually a very sucessful advertising firm in the early 1930's until they decided to commission a quality set of kitchen cutlery to be made for a campaign. The style of this first set was so remarkable that to this day, one just like it resides in the halls of the world famous New York Museum of Modern Art simply for its design. With a multitude of successful products and knives ranging from classic stag handles, to timeless and elegant presidential collections, Gerber started forging the path to leading an industry and nation in innovation and manufacturing. By the 1980's they were well established in the cutlery industry and decided to start making tools and other items that brought them further success. Even now, some very fine people are putting the finishing touches, by hand, on some high quality knives in the very same factory they've had since 1966.

The assisted opening innovation developed by famed knife maker Butch Vallotton, is just another of these new steps that could possibly change the way knife making is thought of. A spring that holds the blade closed in a tense position, and when relaxed, springs the blade open is such a unique way to approach these knives. The assisted openers will have you talking for years to come about your discovery of Gerber, a remarkable, history-making brand.
