GERBERGear Curve EDC Multitool 6-in-1 Pocket Knife

I gotta say, this thing is really well made. Fit and finish are outstanding, and the small screwdriver works great on my glasses, which i wasn't expecting, so that's kind of a bonus.The knife came sharp out of the package, and the carabiner spring clip thing? Well, not sure what to call it, but i saw in several reviews, that it had the tendency to pop off on its own, say from getting twisted by your keys, what have you. On mine, one end is twisted on one end, in such a manner that even if it popped off, it looks like it would just hang there, not fall off completely. Maybe they addressed the issue after those reviews were done, because it sure looks like it on mine.As i said, fit and finish are fantastic, the way the tools fit together, how they slide out, how the knife locks into place, It seems every element was carefully thought out, except for a couple of areas.One thing about the unusual shape and size that bothers me is I really wish I could carry it in my pocket, but it just doesn't sit flat, it's kind of like having a toy car in your pocket. Trying to take it out can be a chore, since it falls all the way to the very bottom of your pocket and can kind of tumble around when you are trying to dig it out.I haven't tried carrying it on a carabiner, but i think i will start. Not sure how convenient carrying it on a keychain will be when I need to use the bottle opener, to me that kind of seems like an oversight, having the spring clip on the opening to the bottle opener. Plus due to the small form factor, it takes a bit of doing to get it on and off a keychain, you have to twist and angle the multitool just so to slide it off and on. I guess only using it will tell.All in all though, I'm happy with my purchase.

March2023 UPDATE:Not much to report, except that after 10 years of hanging on my keychain, this little tool still just keeps on serving its purpose. The tools are still strong, and lock up tight when in use. It pops off of the ring once in a while, but I haven’t lost it yet. I have more than gotten my money’s worth from this little tool at this point.NOV 2017 UPDATE:Quick update after almost 5 years of use. This has been a daily driver on my keychain since Jan 2013, and I am happy to report that it is still hanging in there. As you can see from my most recent photo, it does show its age, with some visible wear and tear, but otherwise, it is as useful as ever. All of the tools still lock firmly into place, perform well, and have never let me down. There is no side play or looseness with any of the tools, and it still remains closed when not in use. The carabiner clip has occasionally bent, and popped out of place a couple times over the years, but it is easy to put back into place, and I have not lost it yet. All in all, this little thing continues to be a discreet and handy tool to have available, and I regularly put it to good use. In fact, I am as impressed with this tool's durability, as I am with the staying power of the teeny diamonds on the purple Barbie key which also appears in my photos over time.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I purchased this in January of 2013, and, after spending over a year and a half jangling away on my keychain, my Gerber Curve is still as intact and useable as it was the day I put it there. The blade is still sharp enough for whatever one might need a teeny knife for, and the screwdriver blades are still nice and square. The bottle opener has probably seen more use than any of the other tools (work hard, play hard) but it too, and the clip that holds the tool on my keyring are both still as good as ever. In my photos, you can see both the wear it has endured over time, and how, in addition to its other myriad uses, it also provides the additional service of lending some small amount of manly credibility to the diamond-encrusted purple Barbie key, with which it shares its real estate.Would buy again.

Perfect for keychain without the bulk. Easy to use. It has a tiny nail file included. I love it. It’s versatile. Can fit in an altoids tin. Light weight. & functions properly.Only CON/downside, the carabiner isn’t as practical as I would have liked. It’s not really secure. So for that I took off a star. Could just be that mine came crooked.

This is a very cool piece, I was surprised how small it is - almost put off by how small it is. But small doesn't mean incapable or dingy, it's a very capable tiny little tool. It is a sleek design for sure. Every tool locks with a click and has a release level as pictured, this is a great function for something so small which may (initially) feel unsure in the hand. When you're sure of your tools that is when you can achieve most with them. With practice one can get used to and appreciate the tininess of this multi-tool. Blade is nice, curved in a usable way, sharp, feels solid when locked. The dedicated bottle opener works great, however it's also the attaching point to keep this thing on the rest of your keys. It's not a negate per-say, just the minimal design of the thing. It's very light as well. Don't be put off by the small size of it, it's a nice tool. I'm definitely in it for 5 stars, just thinking even after noticing the dimensions of it when ordering it was still a small one in my hand. Cheers.
