Gerber Zilch EDC Folding Pocket Knife, 3.1" Plain Edge Blade, Black

I'm a fan of Gerber multitools; I own the MP400, MP600BN, and an MP600 Bladeless. But so far as knives, the only one I've had before this one was the Paraframe Mini which my son got as a cub scout, but didn't yet really have the hand strength to work the lock. So I traded him for an Opinel No. 6 and took the knife for myself. With the Zilch, I had specific things I was looking for in a one-hand opening knife. I wanted it to be insanely light weight. At 2.15oz this fit the bill and in my pocket I don't even know it's there. I wanted a guard and this has that. I wanted an absolute ton of grip, even if my hands are wet. The Zilch doesn't look like it would be all that gippy, but it absolutely is. It just won't slip no matter what. I also wanted a fairly compact size. Most modern folding knives are either folding machetes (slight exaggeration) or they don't provide a solid grip. This one is small enough to be unassuming but still has the very tactical grip of the larger knives. The knife is a bit of an odd duck. Gerber has always been good at being innovating withy their tools (sometimes taking the risk to completely strike out on a product). That's what I needed: a knife that otherwise doesn't seem to exist from any other company. A compact, super light weight, super grippy, knife with a slim and slicy and very pointy blade. I also wanted it to be very cheap so if I lose it I won't cry about it. This is literally the only knife that meets all the criteria. My hands are large. 90% of XL gloves are too small for me. But I can easily manipulate this knife with no difficulty whatsoever. I've seen people complain that it's not for big hands. But I have NBA hands and it's great in my hands so I don't know what's wrong with these people. There was really no break-in time. It was smooth as butter right from the get go. It was also sharp as heck. Every knife I've ever bought, I've had to strop it to get it to what I consider SHARP. I didn't need to do anything to this knife. A few people mentioned the pocket clip bending. I've had no issues whatsoever. If I did, well, it's screwed on so just take it off and bend it back - it's not rocket science. The steel is 7CR17MOV. That's perfectly adequate for getting through an entire day, or week, of cutting up boxes or whatever you want to cut. I'm not a knife wimp who needs supersteel - I know how to sharpen a knife. 7CR keeps the price down. I paid $20 bucks. You can't beat that with a stick!

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this ~$20 pocket knife. It opens and closes securely and fits perfectly in my pocket with the clip. I like the design on the handle including the "teeth" along the backside. I prefer the thumb stud but also having a nail nick is convenient. I returned a weak feeling CRJB in exchange for this one and feel very good about that decision.

These are great knives! Good grip handle. Sharp blade that's easy to sharpen. Super good price point.

You get what you pay for. This knife is lightweight and works as a good pocket knife for daily task. It does have some flex from side to side that could be an issue for heavy use, but for opening boxes or cutting a rope it works fine. The red color perfect if you want something a little different. I would definitely not recommend this as a field craft or survival knife nor as a self defense tool as i do not think it would hold up to heavy amd rigorous use. As i said there is some flex from side to side. I would recommend this knife for a daily task knife.

Awesome knife, highly recommend. Blade profile is perfect for every day carry. Blade/handle is super lightweight. Price is great..definitely worth it! I got the green color, one of my new favorites.

For the price, this is an excellent knife. Very pleased.

I had high hopes for this little knife and was intrigued with the reasonable price point. I love the size and shape of the blade for EDC... but this knife is very flimsy. It has way more flex and twist than I am comfortable with. This knife would never stand up to any real use... but is okay for extremely light and infrequent use I guess. Would rather pay more and get a more sturdy knife. Just my .02 cents though... Still think Gerber is a solid bet in most cases.

This is a well-made knife that is sharp, lightweight, and refreshingly simple. I prefer it over many other varieties I’ve tried, and it’s a great value
