Bigger isn't necessarily better when it comes to your EDC blade, but having a compact knife that cuts like a full-sized one never hurts. By keeping the blade length on the shorter side and rounding out the rest of the knife with overbuilt features and design language, you get a “little big knife.” The new Gerber Kettlebell falls in the category with its 2.5” blade, EDC-focused design, and thoughtful features that you'd normally expect from a much bigger blade.


The Kettlebell's main draw is its compact profile and 2.5” long blade, making it a viable option for EDCers especially where knife laws are strict. The versatile clip point blade shape handles most types of cutting tasks while the 7Cr17MoV stainless steel it uses offers decent everyday performance for the price. The blade deploys via dual thumbstuds and secures into a beefy frame lock. With the blade deployed, you'll notice two deep finger choils for a firm grip, giving you more confident control over a knife that's on the smaller side.

Anodized textured aluminum scales give the knife a rugged yet modern look, while other carry-focused details like a removable tip-up pocket clip and a lanyard attachment hole round out the knife. If you're after a practical EDC blade that's on the smaller and more affordable side, check out the new Kettlebell in grey and green at the link below.
