Gerber Gear® Propel Downrange™ Automatic Tactical Knife – CPM-S30V Black Tanto Combo Edge – Desert Tan G10 Handles – 30-000717
The Gerber Gear® Propel Downrange™ Automatic Tactical Knife (30-000717) is a premium, military-grade push-button deployment instrument masterfully engineered to meet the strict structural demands of operational forces, tactical personnel, and hard-use survival applications. While conventional folding knives rely on manual thumb studs, flipper tabs, or complex dual-handed openings that can slow down deployment when seconds matter, the Propel Auto platform completely clears those tactical hurdles. This lightning-fast automatic workhorse delivers rapid, one-handed blade deployment at the single press of a button, ensuring you have immediate cutting capability when managing high-stress scenarios or wearing thick combat gloves.
Precision-ground from a monolithic slab of premium American-made CPM-S30V stainless steel, the 3.50-inch blade shatters traditional trade-offs by providing an exceptional blend of edge retention, high impact resistance, and corrosion immunity. The core steel is shielded in a stealthy, non-reflective black oxide finish that minimizes glare and shields the blade matrix against aggressive elements. Formed into a robust tactical tanto profile with a partially serrated combo edge, it features a heavy-duty compound tip optimized for maximum armor piercing and structural punching power, paired with aggressive serrations near the plunge line that effortlessly rip through thick rope, fibrous nylon webbing, seatbelts, and canvas material. To ensure absolute safety under stress, the blade features a robust plunge lock coupled with an innovative **toggle safety slider switch** that deadbolts the firing mechanism in both the open and closed positions, entirely eliminating accidental deployment or mid-work collapses.
The ergonomic frame architecture is custom-tailored for a secure master grip in any climate. The hardened steel liners are seamlessly mated to ultra-tough, 3D-machined **Desert Tan G10 handle scales** featuring aggressive, asymmetrical texturing molded right into the surface. These micro-textured channels provide an unyielding friction lock that grows progressively more secure when exposed to rain, mud, or hand sweat. Engineered for complete multi-position mounting flexibility, the handle frame is outfitted with a heavy-duty, **three-position adjustable pocket clip** that allows operators to customize their carry profile between tip-up, tip-down, left-hand, or right-hand configurations. Completed with an integrated tactical lanyard hole and a steel strike pommel, this hard-use automatic folder delivers professional mechanical confidence at a fraction of the weight of bulky static knives.
Includes: (1) Gerber Propel Downrange Auto Folding Knife (CPM-S30V Black Combo Tanto), (2) 3D-Machined Desert Tan G10 Textured Scales, Integrated Dual-Lock Safety System, Multi-Position Pocket Clip, and Factory Care Sheet.
