GDC Money Clip

TL;DR: This is the first Gerber piece I've purchased, and I'll definitely buy from them again. PROS: Small. Feels high-quality. Knife is easy to deploy (i.e., if you place it correctly in your pocket and practice, you could hand the clip to a thief while removing the knife relatively covertly if you so choose.) Easily fits 5 cards and more bills. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you just put your bills under your cards under the clip so it's easy to put them all in: plastic doesn't tear easily, paper does. It's tight enough that it would rip bills if you just try to jam them in, but that gives it the strength to keep everything secure, too. Also, I have no problem pulling the knife out when it's full. If you do, you're putting too much into it, and will probably bend the metal quickly and make the clip useless soon anyway. CONS: The composite edge of the clip had a few sharp points sticking out of the side. Easy to fix, though: Snap the knife out and cut them off. NEUTRALS: The metal on mine is more of a golden-copper-green color than the neon shown in the pics here. I dig it though; much more my style. Also, to the people who want to carry this through TSA: If you don't want to have it taken, don't take it with you. Finally: Nothing against Gerber, but you can get this for about 1/3 the price on Amazon versus their site--and it's a tremendous deal.

Great little buddy !

This is a substantial money clip, good heft for its size. All of the other reviews are correct- with more than a few bills and 4 or so cards, the knife is difficult to remove with out sliding the credit cards down an inch or so. I really don't mind in the slightest, as I didn't purchase this for frequent quick draw knife fights, in any event, this is a poor knife fighting knife, though easily sharpened and quite nice for small utility needs (such as opening other packaging from Gerber- seriously guys, I shouldn't need the knife in the package to open the package that the knife is in) I DID purchase this because I liked the look of the clip and wanted one that would last. In that respect, I think this one is a winner- it appears to be very durable, and I expect to use it for many years to come (just not when i'm flying).

When I carry cash I prefer to carry it in my front pocket, in a money clip. It never hurts to have an extra blade on you. Two is One, One is None and whatnot. I bought this primarily as a money clip. This is the second Gerber product I've purchased in as many years, after 7 years of staying away from the brand due to quality and safety issues I experienced with a few of their products. Their quality is above average to good. The construction of this item is solid. Very good fit and finish. Money Clip is good & tight. I can carry 20+ bills folded in half (I carry cards in a different manner). The G10 gives it a nice feel. The blade retention clip is pretty good. It does drag across the blade and will eventually wear the finish. Cosmetic, not a fuctionality issue. My biggest con with this thing is how little real estate you actually get on the grip. There are a few ways to grip this thing, but none of them are suitable for dynamic knife useage (such as self defense). To me, the blade is a last ditch useage item at best, and at worst a gimmick. Check out my pics to get an idea of how little purchase you actually get. If you have fat fingers, good luck. I have average fingers. Now, if you're a gear junkie, this has a cool factor. If you're looking for a handy pocket knife, buy an actual pocket knife. It's like Gerber said "we make knives, but we wanna make a money clip, so let's put a blade in it!!!" Granted, this one of a series of "lifestyle" pieces Gerber has introduced, and some are more functional and useful. Unfortunately, this one just isn't. Parting suggestion: Gerber, if you ever do a Version 2 of this, I have 4 or 5 designs I'd gladly sell you to make this as functional as it is cool.

Great quality and perfect size if you don’t want to carry a pocket knife looks like a money clip.

My husband likes this little knife and keeps it in his bag. It's very compact and sleek unlike a usual pocket knife that is a bit bulky.

Good quality, but you can't pull the knife out when you have cards in the clip...

I was debating between 4 and 5 and decided to go with a 5 star review because I got exactly what was described to me. Word for word. it's solid, feels fairly durable and really does stand out as a money clip. There is no ONE way to hold the knife and believe that's why so many people get confused on how to hold it properly. It depends on your task, and Gerber incorporated several different textured edges as well as a thumb hole to accommodate different ways to hold it for different tasks. It was fairly sharp when I received it but I swiped it through a ceramic sharpener a couple times anyway and now it's razor sharp. Yes the tab that holds the blade inside of the clip scratches the back of the blade... I don't really care that much as it provides a functional locking mechanism that holds the blade in very securely. I would recommend this item to anybody I don't hang out with, as i want to be the only one I hang out with that has this clip. Sorry but when it's time to pay the bar tab and everybody has the same clip... little creepy. You don't match with your buddies. You just don't. Not cool. Get your own money clip.
