Gerber Propel Downrange OD Green Black Oxide S30V Automatic Knife 30-001317N

The Propel Downrange Automatic is a slim yet robust button operated auto that offers fast, one-hand operation. Steel liners and backspacer give this knife a rugged build with OD Green G10 and a Black Oxide coated S30V blade providing optimal performance for every day carry and use.

Brand new item directly from Gerber Gear, Made in the USA.

Blade: The Tanto profile blade delivers strength and cutting performance with a durable tip and saber grind. S30V offers a great balance of performance for a high-wear stainless steel. 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 OD Green 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. The Propel is rounded out with a steel backspacer 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.

CPM-S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
