The Gerber Daily Carry Hook Knife might be mistaken for a roll of tape, but it certainly will take a few seconds for a person to realize that is not the case at all. Instead, it is a deceptive utility blade that foregoes the typical long look for something a lot more rounded. But that doesn't mean the blade itself is rounded.
The design of the Gerber Daily Carry Hook Knife serves a very handy purpose. Meant to live on keychains, its rounded feature allows it to be accessed easily and quickly without breaking skin. Since the blade is already exposed, it doesn't require a person to waste any time flipping it open to use. It also has a thumb grip for solid hold that won’t budge.
