The Gerber Propel Tactical AO model 30-000840 is made in USA. This knife is assisted opening and has a plunge lock used to hold and release the blade. The blade itself is partially serrated and made out of American 420HC steel. Integrated into the handle is a safety lock that can prevent the knife from accidentally opening. The pocket clip can be arranged such that you can carry the Propel Tactical in an up, down, left, or right fashion. Just look at that attractive tanto blade and those aggressive serrations. You know you want one!
