A finger guard over the blade keeps your fingers safe, and the shape and heft of the knife keep it from wobbling or slipping.The Gerber E.A,B, also makes a great monogrammed gift, with its flat handle and slim profile.About Gerber: A History of InnovationSavvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.What's in the BoxGerber 22-41830 E.A.B.

Review: This is a handy knife for an incredible price! - According to the banner that greeted at the top of this listing, I first bought a Gerber EAB in 2014... and I honestly think it was my second; I think I had the EAB Lite first! Whichever I bought first whenever I bought it, I have carried it every day since. The earlier EABs had kind of a crappy pocket clip that constantly broke. In the last couple of years, though, Gerber has fixed that issue. This is my EDC knife; the only reason I have more than one is because I keep one in my tool bag, another in a belt pouch of tools I carry at work, there's one in my glove box, another in my office at home and I rotate between an EAB and EAB Lite in my right front pants pocket (I use whichever I grab first usually). Even though I often have other knifes on me, the EAB is my first choice for most jobs because I don't have to worry about sharpening it or breaking the blade, the handle (which admittedly looks like it would be uncomfortable) is really easy to grip tightly and if something bad does happen (like I end up dropping it into some horrible abyss and can't retrieve it) IT WASN'T EVEN TEN BUCKS! This is by far the best darn $10 knife I have ever owned. I use it to strip wire, open boxes, cut cabling with reckless abandon because I don't worry about ruining the blade, trim plastic model parts with it, shave kindling for starting fires and so much more. Is it my first choice for a good ol' fashioned knife fight? No (but I trust it more than most folding knives). Will it replace my Leatherman? No, but it takes care of jobs that might screw up my Leatherman. Would I use it to cut a steak? If I had to... but I'd probably put in a clean blade first! AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS KNIFE: if I accidentally leave it in my pocket and go somewhere that won't let me bring it inside, I can whip out a dine or penny, unscrew the single screw, ditch the blade only and save myself a walk back to the car and another wait in the line to get in!
Review: Excellent EDC knife - I bought this Gerber so that I would not scratch or nick any of the knives in my collection. I refuse to use knives from my collection for cutting everyday things. My knives are for enjoying, and not for abuse. This folding knife/cutter fits the bill. If it gets dull, I do not even need to sharpen it, I just replace the blade. I read most of the negative reviews on this Gerber, and all of them except for one, cannot be verified if they even own one. I use this everyday, and it will cut almost anything and is very ergonomic. I have an extensive collection of Spyderco, Benchmade, Zero Tolerance, Buck, Kershaw and boxes of other folders, so I know what an excellent folding knife can do. And this can do it. This can cut and slice just as smooth as any Spyderco or Benchmade. Since I can easily change the blade, it is always razor sharp and ready to take a beating. Since I got this, even my Victorinox Swiss Army Knives have seen little action except for the screwdriver and micro tools. I use this if I need to cut something. Pros: 1. Opens smoothly. 2. Locks into place. 3. Compact, slim and portable 4. Literally cuts like a razor blade. 5. Very easy to replace the blade. 6. Very inexpensive for the Tool and replacement blades. Cons: 1. I wish they made one that didn't look so Spartan. Summary: This cuts just like my $100-250 dollar knives. And once it is dull, I just replace the blades to get it back to razor sharp. So, if you just need something that will cut anything and is portable, this can do it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've done everything I can think of to try to close the knife but it won't budge. Not sure if it's defective or what. No directions.**
A: Look inside the area at the end of the butt of the blade - the area where the blade is supposed to close into. You will see right in the middle against the back or butt of the blade a metal section that you need to press to the left. Once you press that section inward you will be able to close the blade into the handle.  The knife is designed so that metal rib or  piece keeps the blade from folding in on you accidentally. Don't worry, it took me some time to figure that out as well. Hope this helps.

**Q: Has anyone traveled in a airplane w this knive without the blade? so it would be tsa compliant, in a carry-on bag.**
A: I have forgotten I had is several times and gotten all the way home and realized it was in my carry with the blade still in.

**Q: How to buy e.a.b. lite folding knife by gerber?**
A: Usually with a credit card

**Q: What is the community experience with taking this thru TSA screening, minus the blade?**
A: Without the blade this is technically not a cutting instrument. However, if found on your person, you will likely delay your passage through TSA airport security screening. There would be strong suspicion that a blade was somewhere hidden on carryon. Recommend don't do it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, great construction but some caveats...
*by E***N on January 24, 2016*

My favorite Every day blade. This is the third one I've bought, I lost the other two. one thing I would change or add is a piece or two of grip tape, makes it that much easier to open and close one handed. I use this by flicking out the blade, the weight is good enough so that it doesn't need too much force to open and close and I can one-hand the open close process. The trick is releasing it enough from the closed position to flick it out. Super smooth and works every time. body/handle is too smooth and has an awkward feel to it, Really not comfortable to grip, but I don't hold it for very long so it doesn't bother me too much, you just figure a way to hold for whatever you're doing. Certainly not ergonomic for a hand grip. The belt/money clip portion had gotten so loose on my last one that it just came off, I had to bend it so that it would stay on, but it would still come off again, so this one I'm careful of what and where I clip it, nothing too thick, like the pocket of my jeans. That's really where I'd prefer to keep it but that's where I kept my last one all the time and likely why the clip bent out so much. 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, I've switched out blades on my last two a few times, but I would come back to the thick heavy duty blades these come with. You have to look up the model number to get the right ones though. I think that info is in the Q&A section. Another negative is the way the blade is held in, if you lose that screw, good luck finding one that fits the same. also I would like to grind down the screw face to be flush with the surface, although I use my middle finger to push against the screw to open the blade, I'd rather have a flat piece of grip tape to assist in this. I don't want to mess with this screw if I don't have to so it won't get loose and get lost. The price is also great, I really hated to lose the last two but it's not so bad to replace it. One more thing, I had to make a "key" to open my last one to lube it. and I have no idea if there is some sort of commercial screw driver you can purchase for this. But when you need to open it you will likely want to find the right tool for the job instead of having to make one like I did. Also I will never be able to find this key I made the next time I need it so I'll have to just make another, why not just use allen keys(hex) like most other manufacturers? Just one of the lame things about this knife, not a deal breaker but annoying.
