Gerber Gear Curve EDC Multitool 6-in-1 Pocket Knife

This is a really high quality little tool. I keep it on my keychain and am constantly using it for quick tasks. It is tiny, but that makes it perfect for everyday carry. The most useful tool is the one you actually have with you and this provides quality and durability in a small, easy to carry package.

Overall, a great little multi tool! Fits well on my key organizer and has come in handy multiple times already. My only gripe is that the carabiner sometimes gets stuck on the other tools, but it’s easy enough to remedy and not a big enough deal to argue against buying it.

This tool is tiny. It is only slightly longer than a house key and quite light. The blade is about the same length as teeth on a normal key and is useful for small tasks only. The clip is thin wire and has less tension than your average clothespin, I would not trust it to remain attached to a keyring. I attach it by the post on the end, which does make the bottle-opener somewhat ineffective, but seems very sturdy. The lock is metal, not plastic like some other Gerber multi-tools, and seems strong enough to keep the accessories safely locked. The blade is sharp and, while you cannot see it, one of the screwdrivers has a fine and course file on either side. This is great for those moments when you wish you had a blade or screwdriver for light tasks and would get 5 stars except for the flimsy clip.

I purchased this primarily for use backpacking because it was smaller and lighter than my Buck knife or micro tool. The release to fold it is a bit fiddley, but is getting smoother with each use. Although folks with bigger hands and fingers may have difficulty. It worked great for slicing open my meal packs, and when I had to cut through a piece of 2.2mm Dyneema cord it cut like butter! At home I can't even cut through that cord with my best scissors.

I bought this to replace a small keychain knife that I had already, mainly because I end up needing a screwdriver/bottle opener occasionally. Haven't used it a great deal so I can't comment on long-term quality but here's what I think thus far.The Good:-Not overly bulky. Fits nicely on my keychain and is generally unnoticable. More on the tool's size below.-Locking mechanism is solid from what I can tell and all of the individual tools can lock.-The knife came sharp. I'm not sure of edge retention or anything but I won't exactly be using it for anything heavy-duty so that shouldn't be much of an issue.-It is actually fairly comfortable for being such a small knife. You'll never be able to choke up on it and get a really solid grip but it is much more comfortable than the thin keychain knife I had on there before.The Bad:-The size. I wasn't actually expecting it to be this small just because it's hard to gauge that from online pics. For reference, it's about the length of your housekey when closed (or my thumb, and I don't have overly large hands). The blade is about the length of the tip of your thumb (give or take). Don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, but there you go.-The locking mechanism can be hard to disengage. It might be able to be done one-handed but I'm having to use both hands to do so at the moment.-It's probably going to be hard to get torque on any difficult screws. Just not a lot of leverage. Then again, if I was doing something that required me to extract a lot of difficult screws, I'd probably just go grab a screwdriver.-I don't really trust the carabiner. I have a keyring looped through the the pin connecting the two sides of the knife. This will probably make the bottle opener useless but I haven't tried it out yet.For 10 bucks, it's worth a shot. I'll do an update if my opinion changes dramatically, but otherwise it's a fine little tool with a bit more utility than my previous keychain knife.

I bought this because it was really inexpensive, had good reviews and had a nice number of tools in such a small package. The main blade is actually about the same size as some of my other small knives but the tool is much smaller closed. It is very sharp and feels good in my hand with the "curved" handle! The other tools are very solid and the small flat-head driver is great for tiny screws. All the tools lock solidly in place. Closed, this little gem takes up no room in your pocket and would be great as a key chain tool! The bottle opener is great too. The carabiner was a little stiff, but I wouldn't reduce the rating just for that. I highly recommend it for the price and quality!

Tiny tools that legitimately fit in a pocket on a keychain.They lock in the open position so they are useable.I bought as stocking stuffers, put one in my pocket, I like it a lot.

i got this primarily to put on my keychain but that little clip makes it fall off all the time and there is no good place to put a keyring. so it's tiny but you can't easily attach it to anything.
