Gerber SAK-Like Executive Pocket Tool Info Request
on: April 05, 2019, 05:56:18 AM
Picked this nifty little Gerber up on eBay and can't seem to find any information. The blade and two drivers slide and lock out, which is quite interesting. The Fiskars scissors are just awesome, as they are the ones that come on the MP series, but highly polished. The gold middle piece is metal and probably brass plated. The two scales feel like polished plastic.

I'd be very appreciative if anyonehad any information or what-not on this thing. It looks to be a special addition to the Gerber collection. :)

I first saw it in your 'on the way' post. And now in this thread. :D
I hope someone has some info on it, because it looks great. Not to mention it is probably quite rare.

Further research has revealed the Keystyle to be from the mid-late 1990s. A fairly innovative design for the times. IMHO

They were offered in many finishes, but the finishes are worn rather quickly. The black finish looks to be the best for wearability.

And indeed, they are quite rare these days. Back in 2010, there was a great thread about them.

Aloha,

I must agree. Some metal scales, and metal rocker toggles for the locking tools, would have made the Keystyle quite a fine tool for most people.  :)

I have a few:

Mottled Green, Mottled Brown, Purple, Blue, Metallic green.

The purple one came in a presentation box with a purple Maglite solitaire, a lanyard and another (missing) tool.

Like other people I found them more an interesting curiosity rather than a serious contender for EDC.  I have the same opinion of the Buck Newt (which is a similar size & style)

Very cool color selection, Greg! :drool:

I feel lucky to have scored the black one, as they seem to have been around long enough that users have worn theirs out and collectors have snapped them up.  :ahhh
