Gerber 06 OTS Auto Black G-10 Handle Black Partially Serrated S30V Tanto Blade

Built for serious use and engineered with purpose, the Gerber Knives and Gear 06 OTS Auto delivers uncompromising performance in a lightweight, duty-driven package. This out-the-side automatic knife takes a proven platform and refines it with modern materials, giving you a tool that’s as dependable as it is capable when conditions get tough.

At the core of this knife is a premium S30V stainless steel blade, finished with a black oxide coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip that excels at piercing and hard-use tasks, while the partially serrated edge adds versatility for cutting fibrous materials like rope and webbing. Whether you're working in the field or responding in a high-pressure situation, this blade is built to hold its edge and perform without hesitation.

Deployment is fast and decisive thanks to the fully automatic mechanism, activated by an oversized blade release button that’s easy to access even with gloves. This design ensures reliable, one-handed operation when every second counts. Integrated finger guards add another layer of control and safety, giving you confidence during demanding tasks.

The handle features lightweight black G-10 scales, reducing overall weight to just 6.3 ounces without sacrificing strength. G-10 provides excellent grip in wet or slippery conditions, ensuring the knife stays secure in your hand when it matters most. At 8.5 inches overall, it strikes a balanced profile—large enough for serious work, yet streamlined for carry.

Rounding out the design is a hardened pommel with a strike point, making it suitable for emergency egress or impact tasks. A generously sized lanyard hole accommodates 550 cord or webbing, giving you additional carry and retention options.

Proudly made in the USA, the 06 OTS Auto represents Gerber’s commitment to quality, durability, and real-world performance. It’s not just a knife—it’s a tool you can rely on when failure isn’t an option.
