  • Nice small knife.
Very nice, light, and sharp small knife. Ideal for my daughter (or anyone) to carry on a keychain.

  • 20-year old design is still the best
There's a reason this knife has not changed in twenty years: Gerber isn't one to mess with perfection. For what it's supposed to do, this knife is perfect. No knife "does it all." This one does one thing perfectly: supply a small, ultralight, safe (locking), two-inch, corrosion-free, reasonably durable, easily sharpened blade for light-duty tasks that you encounter throughout the day (cutting string, opening packages, etc.) or general use around a campsite. It is light and small enough to place on a keychain; the handle is just large enough for a three-finger grip; the handle is textured enough that you won't slip; the lock is rock-solid. It easily fits in the coin pocket of your jeans. In fact, the only problem posed by this knife is that you will forget it's even in your pocket -- it's that small and light -- and eventually you'll lose it or have to discard it in an airport security line. The knife does not have a metal lining to the handle. This is a compromise to save weight, expense, and thickness. As a result, you should not use this knife for heavy-duty wood carving or anything that provides strong twisting force, as eventually that would loosen the pivot point in the handle. But I'm currently on my fourth of these over twenty years, I use it constantly, and I've never had one get loose by the time I lost it. If you need a sturdier version of a small knife, look at the excellent Spyderco Chicago, which is steel-lined and can take very heavy use. But for the same two-inch cutting edge (the edge length is identical; I have both, and I measured), the Spyderco Chicago is larger in every other dimension, more than three times the weight (which is quite noticeable, and not keychain-friendly), and at least four times the price. Like I said, no knife "does it all." Each of these options is perfect for what it's designed to do. ... show more

  • The knife that put gerber on the map
This little knife is the perfect size for a utility minded pocket knife that wouldn’t be classified as a weapon. I find it’s sharp enough to do the basic things one requires of a knife but is small enough and light enough that you forget it’s there till you need to use it. This was the knife that put Pete gerber on the map and it’s easy to see why. This was the original Gerber knife with its blade designed by Blackie Collins. It’s been around for years and when you get one it’s easy to see why. I use mine for opening parts boxes at work and prefer it to the razor blades most people like to use. It’s also very handy for loose strings and most things in life that small knives are helpful in getting rid of. Weighs next to nothing too but still has a good blade. I’ve had lots of knives over the years but the LST is the one that’s most likely to be on me at most times. The best part is it was made in the United States in Portland Oregon and is proudly stamped on the blade. The price here is 13 bucks cheaper then the company website so quit reading and buy one yourself from here. You’ll quickly find it’s the most inexpensive and useful piece of cutlery you’ll ever buy ... show more

  • Durability
I’ve carried gerber pocket knives daily for 45 years. Never had an issue. Built tough with excellent quality steel blades. Keep up the good work gerber.

  • hard to beat
This little Gerber is all most people need of an every day carry knife (EDC). Its very light weight and small size allows it to go anywhere (except onto an airplane) and the low price makes for no worries about abusing it. On the downside, the blade is a bit small, the knife can't tackle tough jobs and re-sharpening is a must if you cut more than packing tape or errant threads. Style-wise this knife is Camry-ordinary. I carry my Gerber Ultralight when I wear slacks while I carry my CRKT Ripple when I'm in jeans. ... show more

This a super little pocket knife. It is light weight with a very sharp blade that holds a good edge. The case is made from fiberglass reinforced polymer and the blade from high carbon Stainless Steel. 11/18/25 This is a great little knife, it is with me all the time, which makes it so handy and valuable to me.

  • Awesome General Purpose Pocket Knife - but SMALL
I've had this knife's bigger brother (Gerber Blades 46009 LST) for many, many years - and I've been pretty mean to it. Strike that - I've been REALLY mean to it. I've driven the blade through wood by hitting the spine of the blade with a hammer, pried with it, cut miles of cardboard, etc - all the stuff you're not supposed to do with a knife - and it just keeps on taking it. Of the half-dozen pocket knives I own, it's by FAR the lightest and most comfortable to carry loose in my pocket - it's all smooth contours and no sharp edges or protrusions. It's actually easy to forget you have it on you - and the smaller version (this one) is even easier to forget. The steel is good quality and holds an edge well. The locking mechanism is solid and easy to use. While I may have fancier knives, it's still the one that gets the nod when utility and comfort take precedence over cool-factor. ... show more
