Gerber Propel Automatic Knives

Friday, August 16th, 2013

Gerber has expanded their line of automatic knives to include the Propel series knives: the Propel Auto and the Propel Downrange Auto.

The Propel Auto sports a tanto-style 420 HC stainless steel blade with partial serration; a black oxide coating offers limited reflectivity and corrosion resistance. The grip uses a black G-10 composite handle and Gerber’s Assisted Opening 2.0 for seamless, one-handed opening. The plunge lock and safety switch fix the blade in place, open or closed. The pommel features a lanyard hole for utility.

The Downrange shares all the features of the Propel Auto, except it exchanges the black G-10 handle for tan and the 420 HC steel for an upgraded S30V steel blade. Both knives have a blade length of 3.5″ with an overall length of 8.52″ and a weight of 4.28 oz. The Propels also share a three-position adjustable clip that allows the user to customize the knife’s orientation: tip up, tip down, or left side carry.

Warrior West – Gerber

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

I’ve written about most of Gerber’s new products but as I per used their wares, something caught my eye. It was a lock blade knife with a drop point sheeps foot blade. It was kind of funny. At first they were like, “You’re interested in this old thing?” But then one of the the guys thought about it and related, “ya know, that knife has been around a long time and it’s got a great price. In fact, I’ve been carrying one since I was a kid.”

The EZ-Out DPSF Black is based on the commercial EZ-Out model many of you may already have at home and is made from S30V steel. It’s even got an NSN (5110-01-452-2215).

Overall Length: 8″
Blade Length: 3.5″
Closed Length: 4.5″
Weight: 2.8 oz.
Lock Mechanism: Lockback
Blade Style: Serrated / Fine
Opening Style: One-handed opening

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

GCS is welcoming in March with a preorder special for Gerber’s latest; The Downrange Tomahawk.

Specifically designed to accomplish three breaching tasks, the axe head cuts through walls and rope while the hammerhead is the perfect size for smashing through obstacles like hinges, door knobs and locking devices.

Gerber Makes Improvements to Pro Deal

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

Gerber has announced its improved Professional Purchase Program (commonly called the Gerber PRO Program) which offers exclusive, discounted access to Gerber’s Military and Tactical specific product lines.

As a leading manufacturer of knives and multi-tools for the US Military, Gerber has a large assortment of tough, American-made products designed specifically for our men and women in uniform,” said Andrew Gritzbaugh, Military / Tactical Marketing Manager for Gerber. “Due to the specialty and frequent restrictions on some of this gear it can be a challenge to find items locally, or even impossible if you’re downrange. The Gerber PRO Program allows qualified personnel direct access to all of Gerber’s military-grade gear at a discount.

Just a year old, application for the program now takes just a few quick steps and once approved you have access to over 70 items, all at a discount.

The Gerber PRO Program is available to:
-Active duty military, National Guard & Reserve
-Federal, State & Local Law Enforcement
-Fire, EMS and other first responders
-Those holding military retiree credentials

Products that are available through the Gerber PRO Program include automatic knives, weapons maintenance tools, IR flashlights, MOS-specific kits and more.
