Gerber GDC Zip Blade
The Gerber GDC Zip Blade is actually designed to fit on a zipper. Either on a jacket or on a bag. However, we find that it works perfectly well on a EDC keychain. The Zip Blade is a tiny 1.7 inch long with a 0.7 inch blade. That may not sound like much but it works rather well in most everyday situations where a blade is needed. It is also rather inexpensive and makes a great stocking stuffer.
