Why It's a Good Deal
Avid collectors know that deals on the best everyday carry knives are found on Amazon. Everything from sleek Spyderco folding knives to Smith & Wesson's iconic take-everywhere miniature knives can usually be found at some sort of discount if you look at the right time. Right now, though, it's all about Gerber Gear—maker of the renowned Paraframe—because the brand's ultra-popular utility knife is less than $15.
The Gerber EAB Lite Utility Pocket Knife is available on Amazon right now for just $13, which is one of the lowest prices Men's Journal has ever seen for this particular blade. This tiny, lightweight folding utility knife has earned almost 9,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “rugged, strong, and durable” and useful in all kinds of situations. It’s one of the top 25 bestselling pocket knives on Amazon, and over 1,000 shoppers have scooped up one of these tiny knives in the last month alone.

This utility knife is one of the brand’s most beloved models and a popular pick among knife enthusiasts. Unlike a typical pocket knife, this model utilizes disposable blades, which makes it ideal for box cutting and other down-and-dirty work that would quickly dull a regular knife blade.
The plain-edge utility blades are super sharp, and exchanging them is easy—just loosen a screw to remove. The stainless steel handle is durable and protects the blade when folded, and it also features a pocket clip, so you can park the knife on a belt or use it as a money clip. The EAB Lite measures just 5.1 inches overall with a 2.25-inch blade, and it weighs a feathery 2.2 ounces.

What People Are Saying
Although the EAB Lite is small, it packs a punch, and reviewers have lavished this tiny blade with praise. One called it “the best darn pocket knife on the planet,” thanks to its ideal mix of attributes, including its “comfortable and easy to carry.”
Others loved it because of its portability. “Between the compact size and ease of blade replacement, it's just about the perfect carry knife to keep with you all the time,” according to one reviewer.
You won’t regret investing in a quality knife, especially when the investment costs about what you’d pay for a takeout lunch. At $13, the Gerber EAB Lite Utility Knife is an exceptional deal, so don’t miss out—thousands are selling every month, and there’s no telling how long this discount will last.
