To honor the heritage and time-tested durability of the 06 Automatic family of knives, Gerber introduces a special, commemorative edition of this military favorite. This knife celebrates a decade of service, developed specifically to support American service members deploying globally. With hundreds of thousands issued to soldiers and marines over the years, the iconic platform is a familiar favorite to many.

The 10th Anniversary Edition offers a few distinct features:

§ An Olive Drab Cerakote® coated aluminum represents the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) of American Soldiers deploying early in OEF and OIF.

§ A Stone Washed, Fine Edge, S30V blade pays homage to the unrelenting durability of the platform, battle tested globally.

§ Unique laser mark. To commemorate 10 years of service, the laser engraving features a reverse flag. The reverse American flag originates from the action of early US cavalry and infantry carrying the flag into battle. Always charging forward, the flag would be seen with the stars in front and stripes flowing behind. Today, Army Regulation 670-1 addresses the application and wear of the flag on the uniform, ensuring that the "star field faces forward, or to the flag's own right". Rich in historical symbolism, the reverse flag represents the will and bravery of those deployed in service of the United States.

Review:

"In 2006, during combat operations in Iraq, this knife [06 Auto] was issued to my platoon. 4 combat deployments later and she's still holding on strong. This is my favorite knife by far! I am going on 10 years with her and I haven't had one complaint. In short, this is a great, tough product that is ready for whatever comes its way."
