Gerber Key Note EDC Keychain Mini Pocket Knife, 1" Plain Edge Blade, Black

Great little knife! I purchased this knife to keep in my handbag for various needs. It is so cute and small and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It is sharp and works for just about anything (aside from hunting). It opens and closes easily. I like that it came with a keychain ring so I can attach it to other things. It is small enough to put in your pocket and have plenty of room for other things!

I enjoy pocket knives. I don't have a job or hobby that requires me to use them daily, so I'm not sure why I've purchased so many, but I enjoy them. I've always convinced myself that "this will be the one I actually carry and get more use out of." Well this was the first one were that was actually true. I've been carrying this on my Keychain for 2 years now and have gotten so much use out of it. It's size makes it a perfect carry on a keychain. It certainly adds some weight, but really isn't very bulky. Unless you run a minimalist key setup, you're not going to be annoyed by adding this. The locking mechanisms are very nice. The frame lock to hold it open has never failed me or gotten stuck. The tension to keep it closed is excellent. I have yet to have it randomly open on me even while it's banging around with all my keys and whatnot. The blade is not insanely sharp, which to be clear is excellent. The scraping edge is meant for, you guessed it, scraping, not cutting. The cutting edge is substantially sharper, but again, not razor sharp which is a good thing for a blade you are carrying around which a bunch of other stuff in your pocket. The blade is thick and holds it's angles well and certainly could be easily sharpened if so desired. Where this blade shines is every day use. Need to pry something a bit? Use the scraping edge. Screwdriver? Scraping edge. Breaking down some boxes? Use the cutting edge. Need to quick rough cut a makeshift gasket? The cutting edge will bang it out for you. Those annoyingly sealed plastic packages. No problem. Let's be clear here, you aren't getting the sharpest, most versatile knife of all time here. But you are getting an excellent knife that handles, in my opinion, 95% of people's regular on-the-go knife needs in a form factor that is easy to carry, legal nearly everywhere, and really doesn't scream "I have a knife" if people see it. It's an excellent knife and I highly recommend it.

How often I have spent my time in the office needing a blade to open a package and I have to walk all the way to my cubicle or storage closet to get one? Often enough that I wanted to get something I could carry a bit more discreetly while working on my ID badge. The keynote is pretty versatile, but you do have to do a tiny bit of homework on how to use it well. If you watch the marketing video, you'll realize that the longer portion is for "scraping" and the shorter portion is for "cutting," and both of these work as advertised. I use the scraping edge to scrape my stuck-on PETG 3D prints off my print bed and despite my hesitation, it was sharp enough to get it all off but flat enough that it didn't scratch my print bed. The cutting edge opens packages okay, but I feel like it still isn't as effective as a box cutter, because 1) it isn't as sharp as at conventional cutter, so I have to use more force (which you could argue is less safe, despite the blade not really being sharp enough to cut your hands), and 2) the stout blade can make it a bit harder to get underneath poorly-taped packages which are like at least half of today's packages. The keynote feels sturdy to hold, a little harder to close than I'd like because of how stiff the locking mechanism is, but at least you're not worried about it folding on you when you use it. It is small, so if you have big hands or weak hands or arthritic hands, it probably isn't going to be as comfortable to hold. I have tiny hands, so it works well enough for me. If you're a knife enthusiast, you'll probably hate this knife, honestly (in terms of practicality). If you're someone like me who lives a mundane life with an office job and occasionally get to open boxes, you'll probably like the knife (in terms of novelty). I really like how unique it is, and how much less threatening it feels to carry because people don't immediately wonder why I have a big scary knife in the office. It's also TSA friendly! I'm debating between 3 stars "it's just okay" and 4 stars "generally favorable" rating, mostly because after writing this I feel like I have been rather critical, but I do like it quite a bit, so I think the 4 stars is more appropriate.

The Gerber Gear Key Note is a tiny powerhouse! I’ve added it to my keychain as an everyday carry, and it’s been incredibly useful for all sorts of small tasks, from opening packages to quick cutting jobs. Despite its compact size, the 1" plain edge blade is super sharp and reliable. The design is sleek and minimal, making it a perfect fit for my keychain without adding bulk. It feels sturdy in hand and has a solid build quality, just what you’d expect from Gerber. The added functionality of a pry bar and bottle opener is a nice bonus for an all-in-one tool! If you need a discreet, handy knife that’s always within reach, this is a fantastic choice. Perfect for anyone looking for an efficient, everyday carry tool.

My husband encouraged me to buy this knife for use at the store. It is very durable, and I love it, but it is almost TOO small. The blade is hard to open and close because it is so small, and the blade does not hold an edge very well. Just a few days after it arrived, I had to have it sharpened. It has been a few weeks now, and it already needs to be sharpened again. Unfortunately, the blade itself is pretty thick, and with it sharpened on two sides, it is not easy to sharpen and it won't last long. We love our Gerber knives, but this one was kind of a let down.

This was a great gift for my man. It was a little tight but loosened up with a small adjustment. He loves it. Perfect size. Great for opening boxes at work, but not so sharp he will cut himself. Very durable.

This little guy has saved my behind a few times since it was added to my daily carry keyring! It came out of the box fairly sharp, but I can see it may be difficult to sharpen due to the angle the blades meet! However it’s built with pure metal and sturdy as can be! I was hoping it wasn’t some hardened plastic or lightweight aluminum-type frame, and boy is it not! It’s got heft to it, and I can’t see even myself breaking this little guy. Definitely a must have for guys like me who sometimes forget to put my pocket knife in my pocket when I’m rushing out the door, now this can stay with me everywhere I go! Definitely recommend at this price point! Only downside is the sharpening I can see being a pain!

esta muy practica y bonita, muy buena calidad, me gusto mucho

This little knife / scraper from Gerber is great. small and compact. does its tasks with ease.

Nutze auf dem Riemen als ein Ring für eine Befestigung für meine Schlüsseln. Dafür ist gut und schon. Und als eine Erinnerung über Deutschen Waffengesetz - "...feststehende oder feststellbare Klinge bis 4cm (!!! )... in veschlossene Behälter..." -Sie wissen schon selber bestimmt. (Übrigens Küchen Messer Zuhause auch, und nur wenn alle Mitbewohner zustimmen:) Leider kein Scherz. Weis nicht wie auswirkt das auf Kriminalität inshesammt, aber ist in Schweiz viel schlimmer oder..? Die haben auch Maschingewehre in seine Schlafzimmer ...

Amazing product
