this is a very inexpensive knife that will last a long time. replaceable blades and sits very low with flush pocket clip.

Love the compact size, but it appears that upon each close of the blade, the edge hits the metal ‘sheath’ side, dulling it. At least on my example it does, I know it dulls whatever blade I put in there very, very quickly. The sharp edge appears to rest against metal to my eyes, and would explain the quick dulling. Otherwise, love the compact design, and when I pull it out of my pocket looking for change, the cashier doesn’t know what it is. I’ve been asked if it was a lighter. The picture here doesn’t show what it looks like folded. Like the previous writer states, the removal of the wee screw is a pain, one must be very careful not to lose it, which is easy to do, I often drop mine at least once in the process. Bottom line, I’m looking for another one that doesn’t dull the blade merely by closing it. My wife will probably end up with this one in her purse to open those pesky hard plastic bubble packs.

Gerber set out to make what could have been the perfect response to the glut of bulky, look-alike “compact utility knives” in the world, and unfortunately this was the result. As with most Gerber knives, this folder is compact, smooth, and sturdily built. The sliding mechanism has little or no play, and if you can get a grip with the side of your thumb it’s actually pretty easy to flip. The problem is with the most important part: the blade. The fact that this knife is designed to use disposable utility blades would seem to imply that one should expect to change blades fairly regularly. I use this type of blade all the time working construction, and I change a blade an average of once every other day. Now if you’re going to have to change your blade often, it should be pretty easy to do. This new Gerber knife, aside from its good qualities, is a royal pain in the rear when the blade wears out. Unlike other knives in this class, which have convenient spring levers for removing and replacing blades, this knife has a very small set screw with a very small head, which is not only hard to loosen with anything other than a special driver, but is also very easy to lose- you can’t change the blade without fully removing the screw. This could be a lot better.

I carried the stanley quickslide for 3 years, for work (retail). I was always looking for something slimmer and less bulky. Here it is. I find it so slim and small, I carry it most of the time. It’s not just for work any more. It is a great pocket knife.

I think this is a great knife. The blade can be changed to fit your needs. It needs minimal maintenance; just wiggle to blade to make sure it has a tight fitting. Very slim profile, fits anywhere; not bulky at all.
