Gerber 06 Automatic Tanto Black G10 Black Oxide S30V Automatic Knife 30-001296N

The Gerber 06 is a fully automatic, full size tactical folder that is ready for anything. This knife has a premium design that sets it apart from other tactical autos and is equipped with a high performance, S30V steel blade, robust button lock mechanism and stainless steel striker pommel. This version comes with coarse Black G10 handles and a black oxide coated S30V Tanto blade.

Brand new, direct from Gerber Gear, USA.

Blade: A beefy, saber ground, Tanto blade is made from black oxide coated CPM-S30V for well-balanced all around performance. The American Tanto delivers powerful piercing with added durability and good control for fine work. Giving this 06 an overall stealth look, the black oxide finish is non-reflective matte for discreet use.

Handle: Two, black coated and skeletonized stainless steel liners support the coarse black G10 handle scales which are impervious to the element and extremely high traction. The handle scales are milled with grooves for added security in the hand with a generous double guard to protect your fingers from the blade. A partial stainless steel back spacer extends from the pommel end for striking and is milled with a hole for lanyard attachment. A button lock mechanism provides rock solid lockup and simple, smooth operation with a slide safety for backup in both open and closed positions.

Carries via a Reversible, tip-up only, stainless steel pocket clip.

CPM-S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
