The Gerber Fastball Blue is a modern everyday carry folding knife designed for those who appreciate precision, reliability, and sleek style all in one streamlined package. Proudly made in the USA, this manual folder combines premium materials with smooth mechanics and a clean, minimalist design that feels as good in your hand as it looks in your pocket.
At the core of the Fastball is a 3-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from high-performance CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut gives this blade the power to hold up to repeated use without letting you down. The Wharncliffe profile provides a straight cutting edge and a fine tip that’s ideal for precision tasks—perfect for detail work, slicing, and utility cuts. Finished in a stonewash for added durability and a rugged, low-key aesthetic, this blade is built to take on your daily tasks with ease.
Blade deployment is fast and satisfying thanks to the flipper tab, which activates a smooth, crisp action that makes opening the knife one-handed feel effortless. The linerlock ensures the blade stays securely in place once deployed, giving you confidence in every cut. Whether you’re breaking down boxes, trimming rope, or working in tight spaces, the Fastball is quick on the draw and steady in the hand.
The blue aluminum handle is lightweight, durable, and shaped for a comfortable grip. It adds just the right amount of color without being flashy and feels refined without sacrificing toughness. At 4.1 inches closed and weighing just 2.7 ounces, the Fastball carries light in the pocket while offering a solid feel in use. Its slim profile makes it easy to forget you’re carrying it—until you need it.
Versatility is built into every detail, including the pocket clip, which offers both tip-up and tip-down carry positions to match your preference. A lanyard hole gives you another way to customize your carry setup, whether it’s for quick access or adding a bit of personal flair. The knife’s 7.1-inch overall length when open strikes the perfect balance between compact and capable, giving you the reach and control you need without the bulk you don’t.

Whether you’re upgrading your carry or picking your first premium folder, the Gerber Fastball is a smart, sharp choice that’s ready when you are.
