Safety-Focused Keychain Knives

The Gerber Key Note Keeps an Essential Tool on Hand

The Gerber Key Note is a compact knife that is designed for optimized versatility and everyday carry (EDC) to ensure it's always on hand when it's needed most.

Coming in black and brown color options, the knife features a small aesthetic that won't add additional heft to the existing keychains on your keys. The dual-purpose blade on the knife is designed for cutting everyday items, while also working as a scraper blade to remove debris from hard surfaces. This maximizes functionality for makers and DIYers who are in need of a way to perform small tasks while out of the house without the need for larger alternatives.

The Gerber Key Note can be attached onto a keychain with the accompanying key ring or stored freely to maximize versatility.
