The Gerber Empower OTS Auto is built for serious EDC enthusiasts who demand speed, reliability, and rugged performance in a compact package. Designed and crafted in the USA, this automatic knife blends advanced materials with precision engineering, delivering a tool that performs flawlessly under any circumstance. Its combination of strength, ergonomics, and tactical styling makes it a versatile addition to any knife collection, whether for daily carry, outdoor adventures, or demanding tasks.
At the core of the Empower is a 3.25-inch spear point blade made from CPM-S30V stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, S30V steel ensures that the blade maintains its sharpness through repeated use. The black oxide finish enhances both durability and visual appeal, giving the knife a tactical, professional look. The spear point profile offers a precise tip and a versatile cutting edge, capable of handling everything from slicing and piercing to detailed cutting tasks with ease.
The handle is crafted from Type III hard anodized aluminum, offering a lightweight yet durable frame. Gerber's proprietary Armored Grip™ technology incorporates electroformed stainless steel inserts, providing a secure, non-slip surface for confident handling. This design ensures a firm grip even in challenging conditions, whether your hands are wet, gloved, or engaged in intensive use. The ergonomic shape of the handle balances comfort with control, allowing extended use without fatigue.
Safety and deployment are built into every aspect of the Empower. The knife features a plunge lock mechanism paired with a safety slide, giving you secure blade retention and preventing accidental openings. Its push-button automatic opening system is fast and reliable, allowing instant access when needed, while the safety slide adds peace of mind during carry.
Weighing approximately 4.6 ounces and measuring 8.4 inches overall, the Empower is designed for everyday carry without being cumbersome. The reversible pocket clip supports both tip-up and tip-down carry for left or right-handed users, and the included lanyard hole expands carrying options. Rugged, reliable, and engineered for high performance, the Empower delivers the precision and durability that serious knife enthusiasts expect. Deploy fast and cut with confidence—the Gerber Empower OTS Auto combines rugged S30V steel and a black aluminum handle. Available at SMKW!
