Product Description
The Gerber Propel Auto GB-30-000842N combines fast automatic deployment with the rugged, dependable design of Gerber's Propel series. Built for users who want a substantial automatic folder without the bulk of a traditional full-size tactical knife, the Propel Auto offers a practical combination of performance, durability, and carry comfort.
Its tanto-style blade is made from 420HC stainless steel, a proven blade steel known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The partially serrated edge adds versatility when cutting through rope, webbing, packaging, and other fibrous materials.
The automatic mechanism provides quick, one-handed blade deployment, while the ergonomic handle offers a secure grip. A three-position pocket clip allows you to customize the knife's carry position, and the pommel includes a lanyard hole for additional attachment options.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The Propel Auto is a great option for anyone who wants the speed of an automatic knife in a slimmer, easier-to-carry package. The 420HC tanto blade offers a rugged, practical cutting profile, while the partially serrated edge adds versatility. We also like the three-position pocket clip, which gives you more flexibility when setting up the knife for everyday carry.

About brand
In 1939 Joseph Gerber hired a local knife maker to build 25 sets of kitchen cutlery to be given as Christmas gifts. The knives were so popular that Joseph Gerber left his advertising agency to start Gerber Legendary Blades®. The unique style and high quality manufacturing of Gerber cutlery soon developed wide spread acclaim. In fact, Gerber Legendary Blades are the only cutlery on display in New York?s famous Museum of Modern Art.
From very early on, Gerber collaborated with top knife designers, setting a standard of quality for everyone else to follow. Renowned designers such as Al Mar, Bob Loveless, Paul Poehlmann, 'Blackie' Collins, William Harsey Jr. and Ernest Emerson have all designed knives for Gerber. In 2002 this tradition continued as Gerber released the Silver Trident?, designed by Chief James 'Patches' Watson (U.S.N. Ret.) and Bill Harsey Jr.
Today, Gerber continues to design and manufacture unique, high quality outdoor recreation products. In 2003 we are proud to introduce the next generation of multi-tools: the Recoil? Auto-Plier. By constantly utilizing new technology and innovative design to develop new products, Gerber continues to be an industry leader.
