With the release of the Gerber 06 Auto G10 Tanto, the company continues to advance the art of fine knife design and manufacturing. I got to handle a G10 Tanto at the 2010 SHOT SHOW in Vegas and I found it to be a really fun knife.
Improving on the already popular 06 Auto knives, Gerber made the new series even more light-weight by using the G-10 handle. That handle is made of hard anodized 6061-T6 machined aluminum.
The 06 Auto G10 has a S30V black oxide coated stainless steel blade, which is reported to increase edge retention while providing for corrosion resistance. This blade is just under 4 inches long and has a partially serrated edge and Tanto-style tip. The overall length of the knife when the blade is extended is about 8.5″ and with the lightweight material this knife is only 6.3 oz.
