Review: tout petit , tout mini.. qualité gerber ,coupe très bien.. peut etre un peu petit pour le prix. par contre la petite cordelette à retirer et remplacer par une attache en métal style porte clef. Review: This is my favorite keychain knife ever. It has a blade that looks like a razor blade but the back of the blade is solid and thicker. I have tried a lot of keychain knifes and this is the best. This is really tiny. I read the reviews and took a scissors and cut the extension out and put on my Keychain. I showed it to the others in my office and they were impressed.. Dimensions Folded: 1 3/4 inch long and 3/4 of an inch at it's widest point and 1/4 inch wide. The dimenstions speak for itself Pros Tiny, did I say tiny Came very sharp just about razor blade sharp Sharpness of razor blade with the durability of a knife behind it. Blade locks when open Blade snaps closed eliminating possibility of accident opening Great for opening boxes packages etc.. Light duty work where less than 3/4 inch deep [Blade Length] is required. Perfect for 99.9% of my use! Cons It is a little hard to open, but there is hex screws in side so I think I could adjust it, but I like that it's hard to open because it eliminates the danger that this sharp. Very sharp knife will open in your pocket by accident. So the con is also a pro. ## Features - Fine Edge Utility Blade - Frame Lock Safety Function - Zipper Attachment For Everyday Carry - Clip For Quick Removal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AU6AVM6 | | ASIN | B00AU6AVM6 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #95,937 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #257 in Pocketknives | | Blade Edge | fine | | Blade Length | 0.68 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,403) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,403) | | Date First Available | 19 January 2013 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658130883 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | 132733 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 5.7 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Gerber GDC Zip Blade Multi-Tool | | Item Weight | 0.02 Kilograms | | Item model number | 31-001742N | | Manufacturer | Gerber Legendary Blades | | Manufacturer | Gerber Legendary Blades | | Model Name | 31-001742N | | Model Number | 31-001742N | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Product Dimensions | 15.32 x 14 x 1.3 cm; 18 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Every Day Carry | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 015568812903 013658132733 013658130883 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Gerber - **Model name:** 31-001742N - **Recommended uses for product:** Every Day Carry - **Special features:** Lightweight ## Images ![Gerber GDC Zip Blade [31-001742] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510yjnbIqFL.jpg) ![Gerber GDC Zip Blade [31-001742] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11r7hCWJ6bL.jpg) ![Gerber GDC Zip Blade [31-001742] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FRpxkkgkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it tsa compliant? (Airplane)** A: Because it locks, it's not compliant. http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/03/tsa-prohibited-items-list-changing_5.html **Q: Does this blade have spring assist opening?** A: No. It is manual and has a lock to keep the blade open. **Q: how do you put the blade back in?** A: It has a frame lock inside the slot in the handle. It is a similar mechanism to many full-size pocket knives. It is basically a metal tab that locks the blade into place when the knife is opened fully. To close, you just bend the metal tab over then rotate the blade back into the closed position. **Q: Are there refills available for this product or is it meant to be sharpened?** A: There are no refills but good news is very thick blade so holds edge well and can be sharpened many times without compromising integrity of blade. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on 28 December 2020* tout petit , tout mini.. qualité gerber ,coupe très bien.. peut etre un peu petit pour le prix. par contre la petite cordelette à retirer et remplacer par une attache en métal style porte clef. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***N on 24 December 2013* This is my favorite keychain knife ever.
