From field dressing an elk to breaking down a cardboard box, there’s a knife for every job. Lately, Amazon has had incredible deals on highly rated pocket and tactical knives, but for day-to-day tasks (especially slicing up packages), one tool is a clear standout: Gerber's EAB Lite Utility Knife, and it’s less than $15 right now.
The Gerber EAB Lite Utility Pocket Knife is available on Amazon right now for just $14, a 24% drop from its usual price of $18. This tiny, lightweight folding utility knife has earned nearly 12,000 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 5 bestselling pocket knives on Amazon, and over 3,000 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. One Reddit commenter even called it “the best utility knife I've ever used.” 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 1.5-inch blade, and it weighs a feathery 2.2 ounces.
Although the EAB Lite is small, it packs a punch, and reviewers have lavished this tiny blade with praise. One shopper called it “the best darn pocket knife on the planet” thanks to its ideal mix of attributes, including its “comfortable and easy to carry” design and “well made” construction.
Other shoppers love 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,” a shopper said. Another shopper agreed, noting it's “a razor-sharp knife that is compact and very well designed.”
You won’t regret investing in a quality knife, especially when the investment costs about what you’d pay for a takeout lunch. At $14, 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.
