There's no one-size-fits-all EDC loadout, but most of us can be swayed by a lower-than-average price point.
Gerber is already known for its affordable implements, but Knife Center's discount on the outfit's sleek gentleman's knife may just take the cake for ridiculously affordable folders.

The Affinity Gentleman's Knife is normally an approachable $48, but the retailer's 69-percent discount has dropped the streamlined knife to a mere $15.

The Affinity Gentleman's Folding Knife offers sleek lines and a sophisticated feel to any EDC lineup, thanks to its simple ergonomics and materials.
The 3.7-inch D2 tool steel blade offers wear resistance, long-lasting edge retention and hardness at a low price point. Gerber paired that simple steel with a machined aluminum front scale, all built around a sturdy frame lock, which offers one-handed opening and security under heavy use.
The thumb stud is adjustable and removable, offering slight customization possibilities, and the barrel construction and contrast-colored pinch plate make the folder easy to operate.
If you don't already own a gentleman's knife, this deeply discounted Gerber offers a compelling opportunity to try one out for size.
