The Gerber FAST draw knife lives up to the company's reputation for making solid, quality knives at an affordable price. The assisted opening mechanism on this knife works as well as pricier models, and so far the blade has kept an excellent edge. I keep this knife in my "go bag" that I carry with me on a daily basis, and am glad I do.
I am really impressed by this very little knife. I have always carried a small pocket knife and this one is far and above any other small knife I have owned.
I got the small fine blade knife to replace another small Gerber knife that I had for 15 years and broke (my fault). Have had it for six months and use it multiple times each day. It takes an edge well with a kitchen steel and holds well. Once open, it will stay open until you use the latch to close it. The latch does not work as well when opening the knife, I think the one handed opening of the knife would work better for me with the larger knife, my fingers and hand are too large to use the small knife latch well.
