Great sized knife that has found a home in my back pocket. Locking mechanism is great and the clip is strong and doesn't seem as it will wear out. Replaceable blade is a good feature so you don't have to worry about snapping off tip or losing the edge. The price is totally reasonable also.

Use this for box/mail...light cutting tasks to keep my knife from needing sharpening so often. Does a great job. Might mention that if you keep some change in you pocket, you can switch out blades with a penny very nicely!

Very nice design, but would love it in a not so shiny finish.....any chance for a tactical black or darker color option? That would make this perfect! Thanks!

I love this knife! I work in a warehouse and I bought this expecting to use this for the smaller crates but I find myself using it for all sizes and heavy duty work. I would recommend this knife

I love this knife, it so handy to use, I wish I could find the same blade that come in it new.

The best small knife i ever had. Sadly , i lost it and now i'm ordering a new one. For those having difficulty locating properly fitting blades, Dewalt or Stanley fit fine.

I love this knife! Being a female, pockets are small, I never drop it, loose it out of my pocket. That's great for me since I have to be both in the front office and out on the production floor every day. If it had a quick change for the blade, it would be perfection...

I just LOVE this knive!! Light, compact, stromg. So thin I am not even aware of it. Got extra heavy duty Stanley blades at Builders (souh Africa @ R35/pack of 5 blades) same thickness fits like original blade. Only sligt concern is that the small screw that keeps the blade might strip.

Very nice utility knife for box cutting, but I can't find the "thicker" Gerber replacement blades. Other blade brands (Stanley) will work, but don't fit the handle as snug as the original blade. Replacement blades are too thin and rattle in the knife, and I wish the tiny screw was a thumb stud. The clip broke off immediately, as I tried using it as a money clip... no big deal, as I didn't like the clip anyway. Overall, I like this little knife to throw in my tool bag.

Fits in pocket good. Like how the blade is lock in. Can not find thicker blades for it any where. A good knife to have.

I would give this 5 stars if I could find a replacement blade that didn't rattle around. That said ; I love this little knife! I open boxes every day and cut boxes down and this beats any big brand utility knife hands down.

Love it, but the change screw
It's fantastic for my everyday use as an electrician compared to big and bulky conventional knifes that hardly fit in electrical boxes. Only issue is the very first time to switching the blade I wasn't prepared for the screw to pop right out and lost it. That is the ONLY reason why I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Warehouse worker/Quality Assurance
Love the little knife for cutting tape or boxes without damaging or dulling my carry blades. Down sides, with in the first week it bent slightly at the pivot point and now rubs when opening or closing, the screw holding in the blade in place has a huge slot so it is hard to loosen or tight with a screw driver. Original “contractor blade” tip broke way too easy. Quality did not compare well to other Gerber brand knives.

I love this little knife! But mine doesn't accept regular blades, unless I break the tip off the unexposed end. And the tip sticks out ever so slightly making it a sharp point sticking out, so I cut that too. So where can I find correct replacement blades? I use my other utility knives regularly, so to be able to have my old favorite back would be nice.

Awesome
It is very good. It just needs to be open with a switch

Nice knife, the fact that it's so skinny makes it fit really well in your pocket. The screw holding in the blade is not the best idea. It's very tiny and if you drop it during a blade change, its gone.

I have had this knife for a month now and I love it today just as much today as the first day I got it, this knife is an instant classic. I am a person who has always appreciated a well crafted pocket knife but with the pocket situation of my life today ( huge smart phone in one pocket, and keys and wallet in the other) I have not carried a knife for a year or two. I found my self opening so many bags and boxes of glasses lenses and parts that I decided to just get a folding replaceable blade bo...

I'm sad to say that the retaining screw fell out of my original E.A.B. sport. Would like to send it in for replacement or have a replacement screw sent to me? thanks John
