Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-47161 Fast Draw Spring Assisted Opening Stainless Steel Serrated Knife
Customer Review: (4/5) Great Urban EDC knife
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this knife when it first came out and I must say that it is still one of the best 3" and under knives on the market for its price (especially in areas that allow only 3" and under folding knives, like Los Angeles).
Pros:
- Very strong stainless steel blade (ran it through a brick and it still sliced paper like butter)
- F.A.S.T. (spring assist)
- Definitely one-hand operation
- Has a safety switch
- No pointy, sharp, uncomfortable edges/corners when the knife is closed (aside from the blade obviously having a very sharp tip); this prevents any snagging when extracting the knife (very crucial and can give you an extra second or two)
Cons:
- Although it has dual studs for Left/Right handed people, this knife's safety feature suits right handers best
- If dirty, not exactly the easiest thing to take apart and clean
- The spring action sounds very gritty (this hasn't changed since my first purchase of this same knife), but this may concern some of you
My Recommendation(s)/Suggestion(s):
- I use Remington Gun Lubricant 10 oz Md: 24027. to increase the smoothness of the spring action
- *** This knife should be used as an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife; however, I highly suggest not bringing this knife to the beach or any sandy areas (this knife's spring action performance MAY degrade as a result of sand or small hard particles trapped inside)
So with that, this knife is a great indoor/outdoor knife mainly in "urban" areas. As for the more outdoorsy warriors, I suggest buying a knife that is not spring assisted so you won't have any potential mechanical problems. There is another great knife by Gerber that's 2.75" Gerber 22-41493 EVO Jr. Serrated Edge Knife; just as effective and complies with the 3" and under law
Cheers

The FAST Draw relies on Forward Action Spring Technology, or F.A.S.T., that was designed exclusively for Gerber and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton. Butch is known as "Mr. Mechanism" in the custom-knife world, a tribute to his unique designs and exceptional understanding of opening and locking mechanisms. This new, proprietary blade opening concept means that you can deploy your knife quickly and easily using just one hand.
Of course, when a job calls for more deliberate actions, you can also open this knife in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. This is the closest you can get to a street legal switch-blade.
Convenient, Safe, and Dependable Over Time
A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer to use. With a strong, sharp blade, you can make the cuts you want quickly and efficiently. That's why Gerber uses a high-carbon stainless steel blade on the FAST Draw. This large, 2.99-inch blade offers a serrated cutting surface that is perfect for tough jobs like rope and scaling fish. FAST Draw is the first in a series of knives utilizing "Fast Technonogy." Others include the Mini-Fast, Draw, Aluminum Presto 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, Vallotton, PR2.5 and PR3.0, Convert Fast, Mini Convert Fast, Answer 3.25, Tanto and Drop Point F.A.S.T.
This drop point blade, which is stronger than the clip-point style blades used on many pocket knives, fits neatly in the handle when not in use, so you don't have to worry about damaging it or hurting yourself.
The knife is precisely balanced to sit comfortably in your hand and features a glass-filled nylon handle for strength and durability. Texturing on the handle surface ensures a secure grip for improved control.
At just 3.6 ounces, the slim FAST Draw knife is light enough to take with you anywhere. And with the included sturdy pocket clip, you always know right where your knife is.

Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.
