Gerber Gear Curve EDC Multitool 6-in-1 Pocket Knife Keychain with Pocket Screwdriver, Gifts for Men, Gray

this little multi tool is so cool and tiny lol. but I think it'll be perfect to bring to work with me to open boxes and stuff. you can clip it to your keychain cuz it has a carabiner on it. the blade locks in place and has a release switch that works great. I can't believe how small it is but its pretty cool. I collect knives and multi tools so this is a great addition to my collection.

I gotta say, this thing is really well made. Fit and finish are outstanding, and the small screwdriver works great on my glasses, which i wasn't expecting, so that's kind of a bonus. The knife came sharp out of the package, and the carabiner spring clip thing? Well, not sure what to call it, but i saw in several reviews, that it had the tendency to pop off on its own, say from getting twisted by your keys, what have you. On mine, one end is twisted on one end, in such a manner that even if it popped off, it looks like it would just hang there, not fall off completely. Maybe they addressed the issue after those reviews were done, because it sure looks like it on mine. As i said, fit and finish are fantastic, the way the tools fit together, how they slide out, how the knife locks into place, It seems every element was carefully thought out, except for a couple of areas. One thing about the unusual shape and size that bothers me is I really wish I could carry it in my pocket, but it just doesn't sit flat, it's kind of like having a toy car in your pocket. Trying to take it out can be a chore, since it falls all the way to the very bottom of your pocket and can kind of tumble around when you are trying to dig it out. I haven't tried carrying it on a carabiner, but i think i will start. Not sure how convenient carrying it on a keychain will be when I need to use the bottle opener, to me that kind of seems like an oversight, having the spring clip on the opening to the bottle opener. Plus due to the small form factor, it takes a bit of doing to get it on and off a keychain, you have to twist and angle the multitool just so to slide it off and on. I guess only using it will tell. All in all though, I'm happy with my purchase.

Very compact and cute. Very sturdy, handy, and useful. The clip broke almost immediately and then had to be carried in my husband's pocket which didn't last long because like many men he doesn't like having a bunch of stuff in his pockets. It now decorates my coffee table and hardly gets used. If they fix the clip I would highly recommend this product.

Best little multi tool! It’s one of the most used pocket tools my man keeps in pants pocket. Never leaves home without it! Solid built and so useful in many applications. Bought several over the years for others because even should have one or two!

Let's look at the claims for the Curve: "The Gerber Curve Multi-Tool is a stylish multi-tool that you can take with you wherever you go." Style may be personal but this is a claim many would agree with. "The Curve has many useful tools that you will find helpful for everyday tasks." I haven't found anything new to use this on that I couldn't do with my mini-Victorinox "The 1.25" drop point blade, medium and small flat head screwdrivers, philips screwdriver, fingernail file, and bottle opener all lock into place when needed." I have yet to turn a screw with either blade but the knife is sharp. The locking feature is helpful, but to get to the tool you want to use, you may have to open a couple other blades first. Just from the fit in my hand, using it as a screw-driver is going to be a little less comfortable than with a larger handle. "The Curve also includes a convenient carabineer clip, allowing you to easily attach it to a key chain or belt loop." The clip is easy to use, but doesn't fill me with confidence that it will hold. Fortunately, the open work allows for more than one way to clip it to a key ring, etc. The Curve is short and fat, so that may make it awkward to get at other things on your key ring. It's so small that I'm not sure I will ever try it on a belt loop. Made in China, I see no compromise on quality. And, like my other Gerber knives, I don't expect to take advantage of the "limited lifetime warranty."

The key (no pun intended) to my love of this is the size. I don't want a ton of clutter on my keys, but I like having the utility of a multi-tool close at hand. It's so small, I often forget it's there until I need it. I bought a second one (per my review's title) because I accidentally left it on my keys trying to enter a concert. Oops, confiscated. The Curve is smaller than the keyfob for my car and slides easily next to the fob and my house keys, resulting in not too much bulk. The carabiner-like hook makes it easy to get on and off my keychain, making it much easier to use than if it was more permanently attached. The knife is small, but effective for small tasks. The other tools exist and have saved me from chasing down real tools more than a few times. Though I like the curve, it's not perfect. The blade isn't the greatest I've had. It dulls quickly and never seemed that sharp to begin with. The caribiner attachment that makes it so easy to use is also pretty chintzy. I haven't lost one yet because of this, but it seems like they could have made it better. The tools are obviously not as good as you'd get in a bigger multi-tool, but that's the price of the form factor. The curve is exactly what I was looking for, but it might not be what you want. If you want a tool to keep in a bag, but something bigger/better. If you plan to use it constantly, buy something bigger/better. But if you want something that disappears in your pocket and will occasionally help you open a box or loosen a screw or open a beer, this may be the tool you're looking for too.

It's a neat tool and knife. However, it's much smaller than I expected. It's still very cool . Locking blade and tools ensure it not closing on your hand while in use.

The most commonly used items in a tiny key-chainable tool. I use the knife several times a week, and the two screwdrivers also. Very nice gift also.
