This Blade HQ Exclusive Fastball has a black coated CPM-20CV cleaver blade with a marbled carbon fiber handle.
The Gerber Fastball offers American made durability and a precision EDC design. This flipper knife sports a cleaver blade and a marble carbon fiber handle with a gold-colored stainless steel liner. Item includes a matching, 3-way reversible stainless steel pocket clip for versatile, everyday carry.
Features:
Premium 20CV steel provides a high performance cutting edge.
3-way reversible pocket clip for ambidextrous left or right side carry.
Slim, and lightweight build offers streamlined everyday carry comfort.
I agree with Jeffery. Luckily for me, BladeHQ stands by their policies and I will be returning the knife.
Blade was scuffed and scratched new from box.
Edge has uneven grind
Action is OK at best. My benchmade knives (I have about 6 floating around at the moment) all have better action and engagement - including a barrage I put through hell on the daily.
Liners were painted with zero prep for finish quality.
Save your money, or invest another $40 and buy an S90V blade from Benchmade or Spyderco.
Sorry Gerber, your QC needs some serious change if you expect knife people to buy higher priced items.
Not worth the money

I was super excited when I saw this version of the fastball come out, and honestly, the price almost ran me off. Thats a ton of money for a knife, especially a gerber. I shouldve listened to my gut. The build quality just isnt there, the blade and carbon fiber was scratched when i opened the box, the liners have rough edges from being stamped out, terrible flipping action, just all around a bad experience. Maybe for 60-70 bucks, but no where near the asking price. Do yourself a favor, buy a spyderco, benchmade, ZT, Kizer, hell a china made CJRB is a better buy than this thing. Super bummed :(
