The Artifact is made of stainless steel, only weighing 1.5 oz so it won't be weighing down your everyday carry. The blade is a really sharp razor, perfect for any really small job, crafts, or shaving the calluses off your hands. There is a frame lock for the razor, its not the most sturdy but keeps the blade from closing on you. If you try to cut too hard, it will hyper extend past the locking point, as I have a couple times, no harm done. When opened fully, you will hear it click, but you have to give it a little more push to get the lock to "lock." I have used the philips or "cross tip" screw driver on a couple small projects and it did well, there isn't much leverage, but I don't think you would be putting a big project together using the Artifact. As far as the wire strippers, flat tip screw driver, and pry bar, I haven't really used them much so when I do I will update with more info. would I recommend you getting one, or would I get one for a family member or friend?

Gerber Artifact
First thoughts of the Gerber Artifact were do I really need it? I see all these pocket dumps, everyday carry pictures, and many of them had a small pry bar. I don't know about everyone else but I can't recall a time where I'm like man I could really use a pry bar. I decided to give it a go and got one. I have been carrying this little guy for about two or three weeks, Ill give you some specs, then tell you more on what I think. It has a #11 "Hobby" blade, just a little razor blade and comes with three refills. The Artifact has a cross tip screw driver, small and medium flat tip screw driver. On the side of the artifact is a bottle opener, wire stripper in the corner on the pry bar, and a lanyard "hole" its triangle shaped. At 4.8" long over all when the blade is opened, and closed at 3.5" long, its pretty small but decent enough to get your hand on it comfortably, also small enough to fit on your keychain.
