Great utility knife

I've purchased 4 of these knifes and they keep getting "borrowed" by my fellow firefighters....Great weight, great size and I've yet to break one even though I utilize it for way more than it was ever designed for. The design is strong when opened and compact when closed. My only complaint is the clip. I personally don't utilize 'em so I take a dremel tool and cut them off.. The best part of this knife is the blade. When dull, replace with a new one.. Simple and fast...

Super handy

The problem with most utility knives is their size, especially if you don't use one on a regular basis. The Gerber EAB Lite clips to your belt or fits comfortably in your pocket and will double as a money clip. My only criticism is the screw that needs to be removed in order to change blades. Gerber was thoughful enough to make the screw slot large enough to accomadate a penny or dime, but it probably would have been a good idea to include an extra screw should you ever lose the original. Accepts standard utility knive blades.

Excellent Second carry

This knife is excellent as a second or backup carry. Sometimes you won't feel like pulling out your benchmade/spyderco/kershaw/whathaveyou and using it for a simple task and this knife is great for those moments. It folds up nice and small, is light, and has a great clip. Sure it's small, but it's designed to be that way (it's about the size of a zippo lighter, bit taller and not as thick). Great to use for traveling because you can take out the blade to go past security and then buy a new blade wherever you go. It looks great and works, plus it's cheap. Sure there are other knives for the price you might want, but this wasn't made to compete with those.
