Keychain Knives You Can Depend On

Posted by: SWGK Admin

Tagged in: keychain knives

If you need a knife that will fit easily in your pocket and yet will provide a quality of light and usage you can depend on, consider one of Gerber's keychain knives to meet your needs.

For instance, the Gerber Trendy is one of Gerber's keychain knives that small yet still strong and dependable. Its stylish design allows for easy, one-hand opening of the high carbon stainless steel blade due to the thumb notch located on top.

In addition, it attaches easily to your keychain, features a liner lock mechanism and even serves as a money clip if needed. All in all, this is one of the most versatile and "trendy" keychain knives you'll find.

The Black Fine Edge Ridge knife is another one of Gerber's keychain knives that weighs only one and a half ounces yet offers extraordinary performance with its non-stick stainless steel blade and one-handed ease-of-operation. Get the same precision cutting pressure, regardless of what part of the blade you use.

Another one of Gerber's keychain knives is the Black Ridge Serrated Edge knife. This powerful little tool gives you the same great features as the fine edge Ridge, but with a serrated blade.

Still weighing only one and a half ounces, still offering extraordinary performance, still giving you a non-stick stainless steel blade and one-handed ease-of-operation, yet doing so with the versatility in a serrated edge.

Why choose knives with a serrated blade over a straight edge? It depends on what you need in your keychain knives. If you need a tight control, clean cuts and accuracy, a straight edge is probably best. But if you need something that will slice through hard surfaces, the serrations grab better and will cut such surfaces more easily. What's best depends on your needs.

All keychain knives from Gerber Legendary Blades offer you the versatility, function, ease-of-use and compact size that you would expect in the keychain knives you plan to carry wherever you go.

While you may think keychain knives are only for show, these little babies offer amazing cutting power that you can depend on every time you pull one out of your pocket. With the Gerber reputation at stake, these knives are made to withstand more than you might imagine considering their size.

The price of Gerber's keychain knives make them as attractive as their design and functionality. Compared to other knives of this size and quality, Gerber is a cut above the rest (pun intended)! So go ahead and make your choice and discover why so many people choose Gerber for all their knife and survival tool needs.


Knowing what to look for in quality knife sheaths will save you hours of frustration and the untold amount of aggravation that comes from buying a sheath you quickly realize isn't worth its' weight in coin.

When you begin looking for knife sheaths, consider what you plan to do with the knife it will carry. Will you stow it in a backpack? Keep it in a drawer? Hang it on a hook? Knowing the purpose of the knife itself will help you determine the features you need in its case.

Knife sheaths are as important and necessary as any knife you can own. Without the sheath, you open yourself and others to the possibility of ugly accidents that can be prevented by the use of a proper covering. Gerber offers four styles of sheaths providing an option for any knife or tool you might carry.

Not saying that Gerber knife sheaths are for everyone's needs, but finding the right knife sheaths are essential to the knives as well as you, it's like bullets for a gun. When you come across a knife sheath that you think is perfect for your knife, always double check, because as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover, the same goes for knife sheaths.

Gerber also offers three ballistic nylon knife sheaths with a top-fold Velcro closure to secure a knife or tool. These come in medium, large or extra-large sizes based on the size knife you'll be protecting.

A quick-release sheath such as the one that comes with the Gerber LHR Combat Knife includes a built-in safety that only you can deliberately release. This prevents accidents that could be caused by rain or wet conditions and that might cause other knife sheaths to inadvertently release when they shouldn't.

The Gerber 22-41678 Multi-Purpose ACU Sheath is one of our military knife sheaths made of 1000D nylon and designed specifically for the Applegate® Combat or Multi-Plier® 600 and 800. Its Velcro closure includes a low infrared reflective malice clip for MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) attachment.

Quality knife sheaths will include heavy-duty stitching with strong, even stitches, high-grade materials and dependable construction. They will snuggly fit the knife they are designed to protect without being too tight and preventing easy removal. In addition, they will attach securely to a belt or pack as needed and provide unobtrusive ease of access wherever they're kept.

Whatever your need, quality knife sheaths will make the world of difference in housing every tool and knife you carry and use. Whether it's for keeping in your tool box, or carrying on your ammunition belt, selecting a quality sheath is as important to your survival as the knife you choose to carry.

Gerber Legendary Blades™ is a highly successful company that produces a wide range of knives and tools and has done so since 1966. One of the most popular in the range is the Gerber FliK multi tool because of its extreme versatility.

The Gerber FliK multi tool contains 12 different tools within a stainless steel handle. It's unique in that each tool unfolds directly from the handle for immediate use. If you carry this with you, you'll never be without the right tool for any job. There are extra options that can also be added.

This fantastic Gerber FliK gadget includes a flat head screw driver, 2 cross head screw drivers, needle-nose pliers, a V-cut wire cutter and a bottle/can opener; to most people that would be enough, but not for the good folks at Gerber.

The Gerber FliK also has a saw, lanyard ring, sliding jaw, scissors, a fine-edge knife and a serrated blunt-nose knife. No hunter, camper, fisherman or Boy Scout should leave home without their own Gerber FliK on their belt or in their backpack.

Keep a Gerber FliK in your car for emergencies. You never know when you just need something for some odd job and you're nowhere near home or anywhere that you can even buy something useful to do the job.

This terrific multi-purpose Gerber FliK tool is easy to open with one hand; each tool locks in place safely and you don't damage your nails trying to grip onto tiny metal slivers to get anything open. It's very sturdy and well built. One purchase will last you many, many years.

Your Gerber FliK tool is easy to clean. You just need a soft micro fiber cloth to remove dirt. Rinse it under the tap and wipe dry. If you happen to get stains on it, use a mild detergent and a soft scrubbing pad. Machine or gun oil can be used to give your Gerber FliK a gentle buff as well.

You don't have to worry about how to carry your Gerber FliK. It comes with a nylon sheath and Velcro tab so you can clip it to your belt and forget about it until it's needed. Each tool can be locked in the open position and still be placed on the sheath. This is a handy point if you need to put it away extra fast.

It's always essential to read up about new tools before buying them. Wherever you see the name “Gerber FliK,” you know that you're looking at a high quality product suitable for all occasions.
