What customers say about "Blade"
Gerber EAB Pocket (22-41830) Knife
  • The blade it comes with is pretty thick, thicker than most of the hardware store blades you'll find.
  • You always have a backup blade because of the two-sided design of the blades. It will never rust (the body).
  • It uses a standard razor that is easy to find in most hardware stores, that it uses a liner locking mechanism, and that grip and ergonomics were decent.
  • It’s easy to carry, looks great, and the standard replaceable blades means it’s always razor sharp. The build quality is excellent - strong and solid movement.
  • I like this knife so much, as well as the idea of always have a sharp blade, that I am going to pick up one for when I am not working.
Gerber EAB Lite (31-000345) Pocket Knife
  • The construction is very sturdy, there’s absolutely no play in the handle or blade.
  • Good price for a money clip that has a razor blade.
  • Small, handy, easy to replace blades. When you don't have it, you'll wish you did.
  • There is an easy screw to replace the blade when it's ready and it tightens and stays put perfectly.
  • As sharp as the blades you purchase and very small. Best blade knife for your pocket I have found.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Gerber EAB Pocket (22-41830) Knife
  • I'm loving this little thing. It's nice and compact and pretty innocuous looking.
  • It is incredibly comfortable as you can get almost an entire hand on the knife without risking contact with the blade.
  • The knife is a great minimalist and discreet EDC for someone who doesn't care to lug around a big chunky utility knife 24/7.
  • It's a great quality knife but one of my favorite features is how light it is in my pocket.
  • One thing I like about it is the minimalist design, there isn't much waste here, the weight is good and the best quality blade is included with it.
Gerber EAB Lite (31-000345) Pocket Knife
  • Compact, lightweight and durable. What's not to like? Had mine for 3 years and still works like new. Love my EAB.
  • This little utility knife is perfect, its fast, and easy to access, its not big and clunky and it doesnt have that annoying rattle like every other utility knife.
  • I love this knife! Being a female, pockets are small, I never drop it, loose it out of my pocket
  • Well balanced knife with great design allowing for very comfy hand and finger placement and heigh amount of surface cutting area.
  • This knife is in my pocket everywhere I go. Its light weight and rugged. I can barley feel it in my pocket.

What customers say about "Features"
Gerber EAB Pocket (22-41830) Knife
  • You can wear it simply, via the clip, on the top of your pocket. It's very flat and takes up little room.
  • When opened, it has great grip and is very comfortable to hold, no rough edges. Opens packages with ease and slices through cardboard like a high quality box cutter.
  • Pocket knife itself is great. I love the smooth action and design. The finish is really quite nice as well.
  • The knife looks like a money clip when folded, which is good if you do not want to worry people about your knife.
  • See the curved notch in front of your blade? Yeah, that's good design. Your finger goes there to allow you to more accurately provide leverage.
Gerber EAB Lite (31-000345) Pocket Knife
  • It’s ultra thin and the lockin screw instead of a quick release button that WILL inevitably fail
  • A nicely made utility knife that has ascetic appeal. I carry mine daily.
  • It's very useful, allowing me to use a disposable blade for more menial cutting tasks, instead of dulling my folder, while also doubling as my money clip.
  • Field dressing a deer was as easy as opening a cardboard box with it, and with a flip of the blade I have a fresh edge for the next one!
  • Locking mechanism is great and the clip is strong and doesn't seem as it will wear out.
