Gerber Covert Auto & Impromptu Tactical Pen

摘要

THE Gerber Covert Auto is an evolution of the Gerber Apple-gate Combat Folder designed by the late Colonel Rex Applegate in conjunction with custom knife maker Bill Harsey, Jr. It's based on the Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Knife (a variation on the famed Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife) designed by Col. Applegate, who was recognized as America's foremost authority on close-quarters combat with and without weapons. During World War II, he was recruited by Gen- eral William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan to oversee close-combat training for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). His book Kill or Get Killed is considered one of the most influential books on close-quarters combat ever published.
