Gerber 06 Automatic Button Lock Folding Knife - 3.80" CPM-S30V Black Oxide Serrated Tanto Blade - Black Anodized Aluminum Handle (30-000850N)
Product Description
When military operators, law enforcement officers, and first responders need an automatic knife that fires reliably in high-stress tactical situations, the Gerber 06 Auto stands in a class of its own. Issued to military personnel across multiple deployment theaters, this USA-made heavy-duty automatic folder is engineered for hard, uncompromising duty use where mechanical failure simply isn't an option.
At the center of this battle-proven folder is a 3.80-inch tanto blade forged from American CPM-S30V stainless steel. Valued for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and resistance to chipping, S30V ensures this knife holds a working edge through heavy utility cutting. The tactical tanto profile provides superior tip-penetration strength, while the aggressive serrated edge (SE) effortlessly powers through thick nylon webbing, vehicle seatbelts, and heavy cordage. The entire blade is treated with a non-reflective black oxide coating for enhanced corrosion defense and low visual signature.
Functionally, the Gerber 06 Auto fires hard and fast with the press of its oversized release button—designed specifically to be easy to operate even when wearing thick tactical or cold-weather gloves. A slide safety switch positioned right behind the button prevents accidental deployment in your pocket or on your gear grid. The ergonomically sculpted 6061-T6 aluminum handle is finished in a hard-coat black anodization, featuring deep finger choils and spine jimping to ensure a non-slip grip under extreme conditions. Outfitted with a black pocket clip for tip-up carry, the Gerber 06 Auto 30-000850N is a top-tier tactical tool built for absolute reliability.
*Bench Notes & Care Guidance:*
The Gerber 06 Auto features a high-tension firing spring and an oversized push-button deployment mechanism. Because automatic knives have internal coil springs, keeping the button lock cavity free of sand, field grit, and lint is essential for smooth action. Periodically blow out the handle channel with compressed air, and apply a light drop of synthetic knife oil to the pivot and button mechanism. Make sure the manual safety switch moves freely to guarantee positive engagement during pocket carry.
