Gerber Propel Tactical Auto Black G10 Serrated Black Oxide 420HC Automatic Knife 30-000842N

The Propel Tactical Automatic is a slim yet robust button operated auto that offers fast, one-hand operation. Steel liners and back spacer give this knife a rugged build with coarse Black G10 and a partially serrated, Black Oxide coated 420HC blade providing optimal performance for everyday tactical carry and use.

Brand new, directly from Gerber Gear, USA.

Blade: The Tanto profile blade delivers strength and cutting performance with a durable tip, saber grind and partially serrated section for tackling tough, fibrous material. 420HC is a tough, highly corrosion resistant steel with balanced edge retention and ease of sharpening. The black oxide finish is non-reflective for discreet use and hiding wear over time. The blade deploys rapidly with a touch of the steel button on the front of the handle.

Handle: High traction Black G10 has milled grooves for even more grip in the hand. The G10 is mounted to inset, stainless steel liners which house the coil spring and rock-solid plunge lock mechanism. A slide safety adds additional security, arresting the lock in both open and closed positions. Slide the safety to ‘red’ and you are ready for operation. Construction is rounded out with a steel back spacer with pointed pommel end that can be used as a glass breaker or impact tool.

Carries via a 3-position (RH/Reversible, LH/Tip-Up), black oxide, stainless steel pocket clip.

420HC Stainless Steel: 420HC is a stainless steel that provides excellent rust resistance, ease of re-sharpening and moderate edge retention while being exceptionally tough for a stainless steel. With proper heat treat it is said to preform similarly to VG-10 in wear resistance.
