Every job I've had has been blue collar, or at least a mix of field and office work. Currently, I'm a woodworker, so I'm sure you can imagine how often things like splinters are a thing. I first started carrying the emergency knife when I worked at a climbing wall. It was there to cut a harness or potentially even a rope in the event of extreme emergency, but it was/is also good to have in case of a car accident or something (window breaker and seat belt cutter). I'm thankful that I've never had to use it. And that's what a lot of my gear is for. Things I want to have ready to use, while hoping I never do.

Emergency knife This isn't the one I actually have, but it's similar enough. You can find this same design in a multitude of places, at all different price points.

Normal use I also have a cheap little $6 Ozark Trail one that I've used for around 12 years or so. Long as you care for your knife, it will last and serve you well. You don't have to have a top-of-the-line one. I do greatly prefer the single-hand operation ones, though. They have the little pin near the base of the blade so that you can just slide it open with your thumb. And I usually prefer the liner lock, which allows you to unlock the blade with your thumb, and close it with your forefinger. With enough regular use, it all becomes one swift motion that you don't even think about

Swiss army knife I was gifted mine and likely wouldn't have bought it on my own, but I found myself very appreciative of it and think it's worth the money. If mine gets lost, broken, or whatever, I'll likely buy a replacement.

Bonus! Gerber multitool This has been on my key ring for 6 years. I use it almost daily, and think it is probably one of the best EDC purchases I have ever made.

So much more than just a bottle opener. Gerber-Artifact, I used to carry expensive knives but then just kept loosing them, so I got this to put on my key chain now. It's pretty sweet. and only $10

u/teraquendya · 3 pointsr/knives

Perhaps a Gerber Artifact?

u/soitis · 3 pointsr/funny

As much as I love the knife you linked to from SOG, this link led me to find this little tool. I think I'm going to get that.

Gerber Artifact

Enjoy! There are also refills for the exacto knife on it, and if I remember, they are fairly cheap as well.

Several people have suggested the Gerber Shard, but I would suggest also looking at the Artifact. It's the Shard with a tiny blade. It's perfect for opening packages.

u/Flanery · 2 pointsr/funny
u/WrathfulDeath · 2 pointsr/EDC

I would recommend the Gerber Artifact over the Shard. They are essentially the same tool but the Artifact has a built in x-acto blade holder for small cutting tasks. It’s great for tape or anything that would gum up another knife. Also, I would get a light that uses a AA or AAA battery as they are easier to come by then the button cells in the Streamlight Nano (I am currently using a Fenix E01 and it’s a great little light)

I've heard great things about the gerber artifact

u/laStrangiato · 1 pointr/motorcycles

pretty sure it is a gerber artifact. It has a flip out exacto knife and a Philips head. The split in the end is also a nail remover and great general leverage thingy.

I love mine. Just don't take it through an airport. They still tossed my first one even though I removed the blade.

u/Zero1O1 · 1 pointr/EDC

Eh... seems fairly expensive for something that provides so little functionality. I don't need to pry things very often, but if I did I would probably just get a Gerber Shard or Artifact. Smaller and cheaper.

u/KevinBaconsBush · 1 pointr/funny

I go back and read the reviews for this product every couple of months when I need a chuckle.

I am hoping that they have made some sort of design change, but here are some of the scary reviews. Seems like it would be a good thing to know about if they haven't made changes.

> Gerber Shard

Some people actually like that one, the real terrible Gerber keychain fob is this one. This thing will open in your pocket and slice up your leg/hand.

u/sporobolus · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

i use a non-TSA-approved tool in that same format and can attest to its overall sturdiness and utility

something i have carried through TSA successfully a couple of times is a (Gerber Artifact](http://smile.amazon.com/Gerber-22-41770-Artifact-Pocket-Keychain/dp/B001349MD8) which uses a removable x-acto blade; i remove the blade before travel, but they are cheap and easy to ss if you remember just as you arrive at security (yeah, the reviews make it sound like it will stab you; didn't happen to me)

u/SeriousZebra · 1 pointr/AskMen

I had the Atrifact, it's a cool little tool but the blade pops out on its own sometimes.

u/Laughing_Bandit · 1 pointr/EDC

Thank you for your response! I abuse everything I own so I either buy something that will last forever, or something that I don't mind breaking/losing. So, you are totally right, but I'm leaning towards disposable in this case. I broke my Sanrenmu opening a paint can, my Cuttlefish Mini was confiscated on my way into a concert the other night. I've looked at tools like the Maserin many, many, many times. I own an Artifact but I never liked the hobby blades it used. I'll look at them again as a buy it for life item. You're probably right, I'll never be happy, but I can dream.

u/BRAlNlAC · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

It's more than just a bottle opener, but I love my gerber artifact

u/nonpet · 1 pointr/AskReddit

I always keep a Gerber Artifact with me. Nearly all the tools I ever need, and the blade is replaceable. I've yet to dull one enough to need to replace the blade (I lost my first one,) but I love having the option.

This multi-tool also has the benefit of being tiny (and still incredibly useful) which is great if you're a girl and stuck with the same kind of woefully useless pockets I'm used to.

u/MyNameIsRay · 1 pointr/EDC

Can you have a box cutter? Any blade at all? Do they just ban a "pocket knife"?

Gerber Artifact is a keychain multi-tool that has a flip-out x-acto blade. Only 1 inch, basically just for opening packages or small tasks.

It's a "pocket keychain tool with hobby blade", not a pocketknife.

I stopped carrying mine because it's too heavy/bulky compared to what I normally carry (CRKT PECK for a knife, TRUE Keytool as a mutli-tool) and will slice the shit out of your thumb if you aren't careful. But, if you don't have another option...

u/shadus · 1 pointr/AdviceAnimals

Which is why I always key it in... keying can often be buffed out too if you don't go deep enough, but I found that using this works much better. Always straight to metal.

EDC- Penlight, Pocket Screwdriver, 6" Scale Rule, Folding Utility Knife, Gerber Artifact, Sharpie, Pen, Lighter.

LX- 2@ 8" Crescent Wrench w/ safety lanyard, gloves, diagonal cutters, sharpies/paint pens, wire stripper, 5-n-1 screwdriver, non-contact voltage tester. In my gig bag, I have a meter, allen wrench set, c-7's, among other tools I don't really need to lug around on the subway, but then that 1% of the time they come in handy and I accept hauling them around the other 99% of the time.

CARP- Dewalt 12v Impact Driver/Drill set, 7/16"-1/2"-9/16" deep sockets each on an adapter for for use in the impact driver. Same sizes in speed wrench.

Just picked up one of these thumb drive ratchets it has been super useful for working on unistrut and holding bolts when putting together flats or platforms.

Edit: I forgot. Always have my chalk bag handy.
