Gerber Propel Tanto Knife. Finding the ideal utilitarian tactical knife is no easy task. It needs to be familiar, like a well-worn pair of boots, yet still capable of quick action and worthy of long-term use. Drawing on its decades of knife design experience and critical feedback from military and law enforcement personnel, Gerber set to design a full-size, automatic knife that's as easy to handle as it is durable and fast to deploy in tactical situations. The Gerber Propel Auto knife offers proven fast, one-handed opening with a slim handle profile that fits comfortably in your hand, and pocket.
High-Carbon Steel Tanto Blade
At the core of any good knife is the steel of its blade. Gerber knows that a tactical knife sees many uses, some of which are not easy on the blade, so the Propel Auto's tanto blade uses 420 high-carbon steel for long-term durability and a dependable edge. Add a reliable plunge lock and safety switch, and you know the blade will stay where you want it, be it open or closed. The partially serrated blade adds utility when cutting stubborn materials like nylon cord, webbing or even thin metal. The black oxide coating and black G10 handle minimize reflectivity in critical situations where traditional stainless construction could give you away. Three-Position Clip
We all have different preferences for the way we carry a knife, so Gerber created an adjustable clip on the Propel Auto that allows you to customize the knife's orientation in your pocket or on your belt. You can set it up for tip-down or tip-up storage and left-hand or right-hand bias.
Designed for Discreet Carry
A utilitarian tactical knife like the Propel Auto needs to feel good in your hand. The machined composite G10 handle complements the knife's balanced feel, while its textured surface adds grip security in cold or wet situations. Most importantly, you get a full-size, auto-opening blade that carries discreetly and comfortably day in and day out. Moreover, the handle has a lanyard hole and a window breaker on the pommel.
