Considerations - Utility Knives

Ed Calderon of edsmanifesto.com has often promoted carrying simple, accessible, throw away knives, specifically in restrictive or non-permissive environments.

I would also strongly consider these utility knives from Gerber Gear. Gerber’s moniker for them is, “EAB.” Into clue what that stands for. However, they are relatively inexpensive, today priced at $18.00. These little knives have a stainless steel body, liner lock, and pocket clip on the opposite side. The blades are easily interchangeable. Personally, I think they are great for travel. Remove the blade, throw it in your luggage before a flight. Upon reaching your destination, visit a local hardware store, buy some blades and it’s back in action. The knives are extremely light weight, at 2.2oz. And, they have a very slim profile. They are very easy to conceal and hide on your person.

I hardly like anything that Gerber puts out, but I think they really knocked it out of the park for keeping it simple stupid.

Stay tuned for more considerations.

Ernest Hemingway

“When people talk listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling.”
