Durable Stainless Steel Construction for Long Life
Made from durable stainless steel, the Gerber E.A.B. Pocket Knife will stand up to daily use as a box cutter, pocket knife, or as the back-up knife you keep in your backpack, purse, or car.Replaceable Blade Keeps Knife Sharp
With its handy exchange-a-blade feature, the Gerber E.A.B. Pocket Knife will always be sharp. Because it uses contractor grade or standard size utility blades, you can cheaply and conveniently change blades as often as you need. You won't have to worry about ruining the blade when you cut through tough surfaces--just replace it and keep working. When one side of the blade gets dull, you can still use the other side by turning the blade over. When both sides are dull, simply unscrew the stabilizing screw and replace the blade. Lightweight Knife Stores Comfortably in Pocket
At only 2.2 ounces and 2.4 inches in length when closed, the Gerber E.A.B. Pocket Knife stores easily and comfortably in your pants or shirt front pocket, keeping the knife nearby for frequent tasks. A convenient pocket clip doubles as a money clip and allows the knife to rest on the edge of the pocket, increasing accessibility. Safety Features for Worry-Free Use
Liner lock construction locks the blade solidly in the open position, so you can apply pressure without worrying about the knife closing on its own. A finger guard over the blade keeps your fingers safe, and the shape and heft of the knife keep it from wobbling or slipping. The Gerber E.A,B, also makes a great monogrammed gift, with its flat handle and slim profile. About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939. It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more. What's in the Box

handy , well made September 6, 2010
petey (USA)
this is a must have and i carry it everyday along with my gerber fast draw. frankly i use it to rip into everything and anything, things i woulnt use mt regular knife for box cutting etc. could double as a money clip
the good - solid built , nice overall look , blade is held pretty solid - i expect rock solid btw from any blade
clip seems ok its the cheapest part and slightly looks it could be a bit better but its ok , functionally solid
the other - set screw is ok , hold solidly with the other parts but a tool free system would be nice.
the way you use this mostly it doesnt matter - its not designed to cut carpet but the handle takes getting used to could be a bit longer.
the bad - the way you hold it with the front finger "guard" , its just too much exposed blade and you can see the protected part which makes it look dangerous its not really , bit if the front part ever snags while going forward ...
over all definite buy
 Small, light, and handy - kind of like me September 2, 2010

I've owned one of these for years, and it rides in the watch pocket of my pants every day. Once you start carrying a little sharp blade with you, it's amazing how useful they become. Opening boxes, snipping a loose thread, cutting plastic sheeting, fabric, cardboard - anything a utility knife can do, this will too.
I've got the original version, with the "unsafe" finger guard, and haven't had a problem yet. I don't use it to hack at branches or sheet metal, though, so I don't expect to. The blade retention screw isn't the fastest when changing blades, but it's very secure, and I haven't had to replace the blade yet. I do flip it around every few months, on average, and then sharpen it on a little diamond plate, but the original blade is doing just fine. When it's time to replace it, I'll use a heavy-duty contractor blade - 1 every few years is a bargain.
In short, if I lost this, I'd be ordering a replacement as soon as I realized it - it's that useful. Maybe I'd get the Lite version to try, but I'd definitely get another one as fast as I could.

Ok i've been using this knife extensively for about 3 months, maybe longer, at work and in the outdoors. its recieved very heavy usage. It performs nicely, feels solid in the hand, and the blade is quite easy to exchange, I don't know why other reviewers thought they needed a "special screwdriver" on hand to do this, but I just use a dime or even a credit card to unscrew it, its flathead afterall. Anyway the knife is great for tasks you dont want to dull your good knife on. There's also a variety of razor blades to choose from! People say that closing it dulls the blade, maybe it does considering standard utility blades lie against metal when folded, but its never been a problem for me.
I do have one drawback for this knife though. The belt/pocket clip broke when putting it on one day. Now I have to keep it in my pocket. Not that big of a deal, but still sucked. The knife didn't fail me, just its pocket clip..

I slip the knife on my left hand pocket as religiously as I slip on my wallet. I never cease to be amazed at the number of times during the day that I need/use it. More remarkable are the number of times someone else asks to borrow it! GET ONE ...you will never regret it!

This knife is solidly built and looks open with no play in the blade or mechanism. However, it has a major design flaw that can easily lead to injury. While it can lock open, it does not lock CLOSED. It can easily come open in your purse, drawer, pocket - imagine fishing around for it and getting your finger sliced open. Unless you always use the clip, in which the hinge faces down making it difficult to open, this is an extremely unsafe knife. I can't imagine they would manufacture something like this without a lock or even an indent so it clicks shut with some resistance to coming open.
