The Gerber Fastball is a cool EDC pocket knife, made in the United States. The term 'Fastball' comes from baseball. In this sport this is a type of fast throw. The Gerber Fastball opens quickly, so you see where this name comes from. A row of ball bearings was placed around the pivot, the so-called B.O.S.S. system. As such it will open quickly with the flipper.
When opened the blade is blocked by a solid linerlock. This makes sure that your fingers are not in any danger. Gerber used aluminium for the handle. As such the Fastball is, with its 80 grams, very light. The blade is made from CPM S30V steel. This is a premium type of powdered steel that was developed for top-quality knives.
The Gerber Fastball is made in the Gerber factory in Portland, Oregon, USA. One of the showpieces from this factory. A perfect knife for daily use.
