High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Gerber E.A.B. Folding Knife is a compact, no-nonsense utility tool built to handle tough cutting tasks with professional efficiency. E.A.B. stands for Exchange-A-Blade, and that’s exactly what this knife delivers—quick, easy blade changes that keep you moving, whether you’re slicing drywall, breaking down boxes, or cutting through heavy-duty materials. At just 3 inches closed, this knife is compact enough to disappear in your pocket yet rugged enough to perform like a full-size tool.
Built with contractor-grade demands in mind, the E.A.B. features a 1.5" high carbon K5 steel utility blade that’s ready for repeat use. When the edge eventually wears down, swapping in a fresh blade is fast and hassle-free, making it an ideal choice for jobs that eat through edges. Standard utility blades are widely available and easy to find, meaning you’ll never be stuck with a dull tool.
The stainless steel handle adds durability without unnecessary weight and includes a linerlock mechanism that keeps the blade securely open while you work. Its sleek, polished construction isn’t just for looks—it resists corrosion and stands up to daily abuse. Whether you’re in construction, warehouse work, or just looking for a solid EDC option, the E.A.B. delivers performance you can count on.
A built-in pocket clip doubles as a money clip, giving this knife added value for anyone looking to travel light. That added functionality makes it just as at home in your jeans pocket as it is in a work apron.
Despite its minimalist design, the Gerber E.A.B. is a rugged tool with the soul of a full-sized utility knife. It doesn’t try to be flashy—it just works, and it keeps working. Order it today from SMKW!
