Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades compact little zipper....

I've never been a fan of having knives with fugly built-in gut hooks as most are fairly useless. But these little Gerber EAB Lite's make having a zipper knife always handy. I chitcanned the utility blade for a roofing hook. They have a belt/pocket clip that also works good for hanging it on some webbing on the pack... 2.1 ounces of liner-locked handiness.

Damn good idea Don, hooks definitely have there place for making things easier, that one looks handy

Evening guys, I've carried one for years, from trapping mostly. With the roof hook it's easy to slit up the middle of a beaver and not open up the guts when you skin them. You can do it with your knife if it's got a drop point but we usually carried a small jack knife for muskrats & used that until we tried the roofing hook. Progress? Who new. Bill out. 🐾👣🇨🇦

Oops, Bill again, watch the clip on those it just hooks on to the handle on the inside & ive lost a couple. Wish they would solder it on or use a screw. Just a heads up, have a good week 🐾👣🇨🇦

How does it work for opening up critters? Looks too shallow

I used to use a Wyoming knife, it was handy to open up deer.

I like the carpet knife blade idea.

Works great. If it didn't, I'da never put it up here. Looks can be deceiving.....

Bill again, it works pretty good on hind legs of coyotes & good running down the legs of moose, never actually tried it on deer though?? I'm out 🐾👣🇨🇦

done a short zipper vid this afternoon on a buck. Maybe tomorrow I'll show slitting legs and such...

Link no workie work!

if it don't now, it will at midnight...

Sweet.

Grabbed one on Amazon last night.

+1 on the hook!

Thinking about ordering a couple more for Christmas presents.

Appreciate the tip!

ya!

GWB

Don, you’re a wizard! I threw one of those with a blade in my shaving kit so whenever I get where I am flying to, I can open boxes, etc.

Under $12 bucks at Lowe's..... no reason NOT to have one....

Thanks for the tip Don, going to look into one myself!

Thanks for the video, it definitely shows how well it works

It works even better if ya go slow and careful. I was just trying to show how fast you can unzip one. I wouldn't have had to go back and hack on it below the sternum if I would have done it normal-like....

I bought one tonight.

I ordered two for $16 shipped off Amazon

I guess that's akin to the hook blades I use in box cutters, just a little smaller.
