Review: Gerber Prybrid Utility Clip

Compact, strong, and versatile, the Gerber Prybrid Utility Clip is one handy little knife. It slices, it pries, it screws, it cuts cord, it opens bottles, it clips to your pocket or belt... the only thing the Prybrid doesn't do is tell you how to change out the blade, which it should, because it's not obvious. I got the hang of it eventually, but when dealing with a razor blade, you go easy—and with neither printed instructions nor an easily discoverable online tutorial, I went easy indeed. Another caveat: either wear it on the outside, or be careful to thumb the slide as you draw the knife. Otherwise, it could catch on your pocket and deploy the blade by mistake. $20; gerbergear.com.
