Gerber Gear EAB Utility Knife, Clips to Pocket or Keychain with Replaceable Razor Blade for Everyday Carry, EDC Gear with Box Cutter Retractable, Lite

I love this little clip on utility knife. I have purchased probably at least 8 of these before and I keep coming back for more. They are simple to use and light weight and look very nice and I have never had any problems with any I have owned. The only reason I keep buying them is I have lost and misplaced several over the years. But they are my go to small pocket knife. I have also used the clip for a money clip before as this knife is so slim and light weight you can just slip it into your pocket and forget that it is there. One of things I love about it the most is that it is never dull because you just simply take one of the utility blades out and replace it with a new one whenever it starts to dull.

This is a wonderful knife to have on you all the time, but a terrible knife to use all the time. If you are looking for something to subject to frequent, heavy duty use, this is not the knife for you. That's not to say it's not durable.. it seems plenty durable to me, but it just doesn't have the ergonomics for it. I'm a graphic designer/production manager. I need to open a few packages a day usually. Sometimes cut off strapping, tape, or other mounting. In my office I had one of those cheap snap-off cutters, but if I was out of the office it was always a total pain to find a cutter. In a warehouse you keep things in one spot generally, but with daily use they get scattered. Every time I needed a knife I had to spend a few minutes just looking for one. It was a massive waste of time. My warehouse manager got me a decent little collapsable knife, but it was too big to keep on me all the time with my keys, wallet, phone, etc. That's where this comes in! You know that little pocket-within-a-pocket on your jeans that no one ever has a use for? This fits perfectly in there!, clip it on with the knife inside, clip out and it is so tiny you'll forget it is there. Now whenever I need a cutter I just reach down and it's right there. I haven't found another knife that is this compact that still has a full-sized blade. There are a few that are close to this size.. but they have mini blades that impair their functionality. The blade on this is extremely high quality, it is full sized and actually quite a bit thicker than the bulk blades we normally buy for our warehouse. Now for it's short comings.. I don't see these as marks against it (per my 5 star rating). They are just design compromises that needed to be made to reduce the size: * This is a two hand open, two hand close knife. If I know I have a number of packages to open, or I have to cut down a lot of corrugated for flat-packing, I'll grab a larger, better suited knife. There's not room for a complex locking mechanism.. so deal with it if you want a knife this small. * The blade is much more time consuming to change than the alternatives. If you're doing a lot of cutting, this isn't for you. This is something you keep on you for when you need it, not something you use as your workhorse. * Price. This isn't a $3 knife. if you're going to keep it on you, $12 is not a lot for the utility and engineering of this thing.. but if they start disappearing it's going to get costly. Keep it on you. Don't lend it out. Keep track of it and it is more than worth the cost. * The clip?? People keep complaining about belt-clip issues. The clip is designed to be very slim-one of my problems with a lot of other folding cutters is how fat the clip is. I had to take it off my previous ones and they were STILL fatter than this one with the clip. This clip is not designed for a full-thickness leather belt-that is going to wreck it! I've put it over the edge of my pocket every day for months with no issues.. with a thinner woven belt thrown in for good measure! If you try to use this knife like a contractor-grade cutting tool, you are going to have a bad time. If you want to have an ultra-compact, high-quality cutting tool on you all day, every day, for as-needed use, this is the perfect tool. I love this thing and I never leave home without it clipped inside my pocket! (unless I know I'm going somewhere with tight security!... be careful, it's easy to forget it's there!)

I love these little things so much that I give them as gifts to pretty much everyone. The form factor is perfect for a EDC knife that you'll actually use all the time because it's always with you. Folded up, it fits neatly in the coin pocket of most jeans and it opens to provide just enough handle length to be safe to use without serious concern. You never need to worry about sharpening it since you can just reverse and eventually change the standard utility blade it uses. A dime is perfect for use as a screwdriver for undoing the little blade retention screw. Additionally, that little screw protrudes just enough that one handed opening with your thumb always just works. I've been using one as my daily driver for a few years and the hinge and liner lock are both as solid and smooth as when I got it. It may be a small little thing, but the aluminum body is tough where it counts. Between the compact size and ease of blade replacement, it's just about the perfect carry knife to keep with you all the time for those daily pocketknife tasks. On top of that, it's inexpensive enough that even if you were to lose it, it wouldn't be a huge deal. Huge value and a quality product that receives top marks for just being a useful tool.

This is a nice little pocket utility knife. It comes with a single unbranded standard size double-notch heavy duty blade that is 1mm thick. The blade is held in place by the geometry of the knife frame and a single M3-0.5mm narrow cheese head slotted screw. The folding blade mechanism uses a liner lock to prevent accidental closure. When folded closed, the blade is entirely enclosed by the frame of the knife. There is no locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening, but the friction fit and design of the blade has kept that from happening in my experience. The money clip doubles as an extremely sturdy pocket clip that holds the knife with blade tip pointed up. There are similar heavy duty replacement blades that can be found from Stanley and others, but I've found the best replacement blade is the Jewel Blade Ultra HD Stainless Steel Straight JB92M0401. These match the 1mm thickness of the original blade exactly, they are stainless (which is great considering pockets do get damp with sweat from time to time), and are made in Sheffield, England. I've found them to be of the equal of or better quality than the original blade. I didn't care for the cheese head slotted screw that secures the blade. It works, but you have to be careful when tightening it, or you'll strip the threads. I replaced it with an M3-0.5mm x 4mm low-profile 316 stainless steel socket head screw and a M3 x 5.0mm OD x 0.5mm nylon washer to prevent loosening. That socket head screw diameter of 5.5mm perfectly fits the hole in the side of the frame and sits perfectly flush on both sides when used with a 1mm blade as supplied. If using thinner "regular" blades, you need to reduce the length of the screw to 3mm or less or use multiple washers to compensate.

Mooi klein mesje, voelt erg stevig aan.

This is a great little knife. It feels well built, sturdy and will always be as sharp as the blade you put in it. One word of caution though, this is not suitable for everyday carry in the UK. It would pass on blade length, but the locking mechanism (not mentioned in product description) would make it illegal to possess in public without an EXTREMELY good reason. Discrete though it is, If you need it for work, keep it in your tool bag when travelling.

Excelente Calidad y muy buen peso y tamaño Recomendable 💯

while not the most comfortable to hold (an expected compromise given the design and size), it's a robust and well built knife and has lasted without issue for months. i use it every day at work.
