I have a couple of the stainless ones, a regular model, and one of the lite ones (which is heavier and larger than the regular one  ::) ). Never seen one of the black oxide ones before. It looks good  :tu:

I am noticing that not many here have seen the BO either ??? Methinks that that didn't do very good in the advertising dept. on this one :rant:

Glad I got one :ahhh

Had some free time yesterday, and I wanted a "pocket scraper"; so ...
In the middle, you'll find my "stone-washed-black-oxide-scraper-blade" EAB Lite!! :D

What brands of utility knife match the thickness of the blade Gerber sells the EAB with? So far, what I am currently using (Lenox carbide) are somewhat too thin.

cody 6268, the closest I've found in thickness are these, Stanley 11-931 extra heavy duty utility blades.
Having said that, I've had no problems by using regular sized ones (currently the two with cutter blades are sporting regular Husky ones from HD).

(Mods, if I'm out of place by linking to a commercial site, please edit as needed).

Great to see a few others have gotten them and are using them :like:

Added a thumb stud and finger ring to mine to make it more like a folding karambit. Love it.
