Gerber Gear Key Note Pocket Knife, 1" Plain Edge Box Cutter EDC Keychain Pocket Knife for Everyday Carry, Black

I enjoy pocket knives. I don't have a job or hobby that requires me to use them daily, so I'm not sure why I've purchased so many, but I enjoy them. I've always convinced myself that "this will be the one I actually carry and get more use out of." Well this was the first one were that was actually true. I've been carrying this on my Keychain for 2 years now and have gotten so much use out of it. It's size makes it a perfect carry on a keychain. It certainly adds some weight, but really isn't very bulky. Unless you run a minimalist key setup, you're not going to be annoyed by adding this. The locking mechanisms are very nice. The frame lock to hold it open has never failed me or gotten stuck. The tension to keep it closed is excellent. I have yet to have it randomly open on me even while it's banging around with all my keys and whatnot. The blade is not insanely sharp, which to be clear is excellent. The scraping edge is meant for, you guessed it, scraping, not cutting. The cutting edge is substantially sharper, but again, not razor sharp which is a good thing for a blade you are carrying around which a bunch of other stuff in your pocket. The blade is thick and holds it's angles well and certainly could be easily sharpened if so desired. Where this blade shines is every day use. Need to pry something a bit? Use the scraping edge. Screwdriver? Scraping edge. Breaking down some boxes? Use the cutting edge. Need to quick rough cut a makeshift gasket? The cutting edge will bang it out for you. Those annoyingly sealed plastic packages. No problem.Let's be clear here, you aren't getting the sharpest, most versatile knife of all time here. But you are getting an excellent knife that handles, in my opinion, 95% of people's regular on-the-go knife needs in a form factor that is easy to carry, legal nearly everywhere, and really doesn't scream "I have a knife" if people see it. It's an excellent knife and I highly recommend it.

The Gerber Gear Key Note is a tiny powerhouse! I’ve added it to my keychain as an everyday carry, and it’s been incredibly useful for all sorts of small tasks, from opening packages to quick cutting jobs. Despite its compact size, the 1" plain edge blade is super sharp and reliable.The design is sleek and minimal, making it a perfect fit for my keychain without adding bulk. It feels sturdy in hand and has a solid build quality, just what you’d expect from Gerber. The added functionality of a pry bar and bottle opener is a nice bonus for an all-in-one tool!If you need a discreet, handy knife that’s always within reach, this is a fantastic choice. Perfect for anyone looking for an efficient, everyday carry tool.

This is a good little tool to have. It has a good feel and weight to it. It looks good.The pocket clip is really tight on it and could be a bit more flexible.Overall a great gift from my kids for Father’s Day!

This is one awesome little blade. I have no idea what to do with it, but I love it. Added to my knife collection. The quality is superb, the design is beautiful, and has a nice perfect weight to it. Highly recommend!

I love this little guy. Not the sharpest knife, but great for scoring and opening boxes. The black on the handle wears but leaves a nice patina. It's what I wanted

I got this for half price ($15). For that price this item is ok, but all the other reviewers on here complaining are correct. Not terribly sharp, heavy and a little awkward to open and close. Key ring doesn’t fold past 45 degrees either way and clip is very stiff. Will it open boxes and scrape stuff, yes. Would I buy it again for $15? Probably not. Definitely wouldn’t pay $30.

Wife loves it, ready for action. Very sharp.

Great blade. I use it mainly for scrapping and getting stuff that is stuck on something off. Very durable for the size and thick blade.
