Gerber Gear GDC Zip Blade Utility Knife with Plain Edge Blade, Compact Everyday Carry Box Cutter and Wire Stripper Tool with Keychain Attachment and Frame Lock

Small and thin and lightweight but big on effectiveness. Easy to use design. Comfortable action and function. Ability to maintain blade could be improved. Cost effective little EDC add-on

I haven't had the need to use this yet, but I have cut up some cardboard with it, just to check it out.No matter how small you think this is, it'll be smaller than you were expecting when you get in your hands. I have it hanging on my jacket's zipper pull and I don't even notice it. It's nice to know that I've got an emergency blade on me if I'm without my EDC (which isn't very often). I also have a little Victorinox on my keychain, so I doubt I'll ever have a real NEED for this, but it's still nice to know it's there. It's so small and so cheap, you can keep one in the tackle box, one in the glove box, one for the purse, one on your fall jacket, one on your winter coat, one on your pack or bookbag, give 'em away as cool little gifts...The blade is remarkably sturdy for something so small. It doesn't feel like a "toy" knife. The frame lock secures the blade beyond any fear of it closing on you. The blade also seats on a ball bearing when closed, so it's a little tough to open (long nails may break). The blade seats a little past the 90 degree point (seats, NOT locks) too, so you can hook your finger over the back of the blade to use as a pulling hook blade, rather than fully opening it to the locking position. Blade was pretty sharp, but don't expect to shave with it. The blade is also stout enough to use as a small pry tool (would have no risk of damage levering up the pull tab on a soup can, for example) although Gerber probably would say it's a cutting blade, not a pry tool. Still, for $7, who cares? You could even use the back of the blade as a small scraping tool. It's surprisingly comfortable and feels pretty good in the hand. You really get solid purchase on it. It doesn't "swim" in your hand, nor feel too small to be useful.I'd recommend this to anyone from homemaker to student to outdoorsperson. Great stocking stuffer.

This is my favorite keychain knife ever. It has a blade that looks like a razor blade but the back of the blade is solid and thicker. I have tried a lot of keychain knifes and this is the best.This is really tiny. I read the reviews and took a scissors and cut the extension out and put on my Keychain. I showed it to the others in my office and they were impressed..DimensionsFolded:1 3/4 inch long and 3/4 of an inch at it's widest point and 1/4 inch wide.The dimenstions speak for itselfProsTiny, did I say tinyCame very sharp just about razor blade sharpSharpness of razor blade with the durability of a knife behind it.Blade locks when openBlade snaps closed eliminating possibility of accident openingGreat for opening boxes packages etc.. Light duty work where less than 3/4 inch deep [Blade Length] is required. Perfect for 99.9% of my use!ConsIt is a little hard to open, but there is hex screws in side so I think I could adjust it, but I like that it's hard to open because it eliminates the danger that this sharp. Very sharp knife will open in your pocket by accident. So the con is also a pro.

Very small, inconspicuous and handy. This knife is about the size of your thumbnail. Its very short, but enough to open packages, cut rope, or do any number of daily tasks. It intended to be tied to a zipper as a zipper pull, and looks like a large zipper pull, rather than a knife. It's a very firm liner lock. Blade is sharp. Finish is a little weird (grey handle, black bade, big black screw and neon green washers.Half of it threads through the eye on a zipper, and you tie it off with a larkshead knot (pull the whole thing through the look), and the knife clips on and off of the strap with a reasonably secure, yet accessible plastic clip in the middle of the nylon strap. Nice design.He's something I'm on the fence about. There are places that don't allow locking knives on the street. It would be nice if this was available as a friction folder, that doesn't lock. You could take it apart with two T-8 bits, and cut the liner off, or pry the liner to the outside of the handle, wedge the lip of the washer under the liner lock, and reassemble it, to temporarily disable the locking feature but I don't know for if that would satisfy law enforcement in places that ban locking knives, and then you run the risk of the blade closing on your finger (there isn't much room to hold it, as it stands). It's just one little thing.All and all, a handy knife to slip on the zipper of a coat of bag, and never be without a knife (just remember to take it off if you travel by airplane).

Love this little blade. Use it mostly to open vacuum sealed parts in plastic bag, and occasional ribbon cable trimming after assembling a new cable. Blade is very sharp out of the box. I'm not very good at blade sharpening, but get lucky and able to get it back to the almost razor blade edge.

Love this little thing. My work does not allow us to carry "pocket knives" so I carry this on my Keychain. Works well and discrete.
