GERBER Paraframe Mini Small Pocket Knife

This is a really good little knife! It gives you the ability to have a very sharp and small knife that allows you to do all the classic knife things. I mostly used it to open boxes, but it was very good for that job! Unfortunately, because it is so small I lost it within about 2 weeks, but that is more of a me issue than a product issue. I recommend adding a little chain or some way to really attach it to your person more than the little clip. While the clip is really good, I was pulling out my keys from my pocket and the knife just flew out pretty easily with my keys. Overall, I would probably get this again just because it really holds its edge even going against cardboard! Good little knife!

I love this knife. I’ve lost two in the Colorado River and worn out another by sharpening it every other week. Blade is durable but easy to sharpen. Build quality is on par with knives 4x the price. Lock is secure but easy to manage one handed. This is the best value knife available. Serrated section works very well on ropes and webbing.

I’ve been using my four year-old Gerber Paraframe 1 on an office remodel all week for various tasks and it occurred to me that I had no backup in case I lose it. Found Amazon had it discounted to $20 bucks and picked up a spare. Still very good quality and came decently sharp, but I detailed to a shaving edge in a couple minutes. I did notice that the thumb stud rotated on my new one while the old one was fixed. Someone else noted this in their review here, and like them, I’m not too worried about it as it’s securely fastened. It’s not the easiest to open one-handed, but that’s not an issue for me. I chose this stainless knife because of the low profile when clipped in my pocket, the light but strong frame, good ergonomics when using, and it holds a decent edge. I also prefer stainless for an everyday carry for maintenance considerations. This blade isn’t part of a collection but with me every day whether I’m working, hiking or camping. It gets used. All this for $20 is a bargain in my book.

For $10 I got a genuine Gerber knife that is light, sturdy, and sharp – sold. The other reviews tell the whole story – a great little knife and sharp and light with the Gerber guarantee. When you don’t want (or need) to carry a full size knife (e.g. backpacking) this fills the need and doesn’t make you regret carrying it in the event that you don’t need or use it. Love it, and the price was nice on sale….

Bought this as a first knife for my son, but zero chance he’ll be able to move the insanely stuff locking bar that is part of this knife. *I* struggle with it. Nice knife otherwise, but that’s a fatal flaw in my view.

I’ll give it five stars!!! I saw this at Wal Mart and thought it was just bad to the bone. I bought one for my dad for Christmas, he’s an off the grid man. I wanted one for myself though, it was or is kind of spendy. I used my Amazon points and bought it fairly cheap for cash on hand, when I got it today, I was a little let down, kind of loved it at the store, but once I had the package thought oh this is just ok. Once I got it out of the hard to open package, it had some heft to it and is kind of big but fits nicely in the hand with the finger part being made on it so it doesn’t slip, I tried flipping it open like my other knives with thumb flip capability, it’s way too tight and I have to use two hands to open it, and then the lock is so hard to push it split my finger nail in half trying to close it, so that’s the bad. I figure some WD-40 since I don’t see a hex head or star head or any screw head to loosen it, maybe it’s under the belt buckle clip, not going crazy on this thing though, since I don’t think there is a loosen screw. I finally was able to open it with just my thumb after messing with it for a while and nearly slice my thumb up good while doing it, it was so hard and then when it finally gave my thumb slipped and landed on the blade and boy is this blade sharp as hell, razor sharp, hope it lasts, kind of scary sharp actually for such a big knife that’s hard to open and close, but knives are supposed to be sharp, I think I should have bought the little one like I was going to do for opening boxes, small manila envelopes and cutting plastic box straps, etc, this is overkill for my needs and would be a nice knife for making spear heads or cutting the tail off a road kill animal to hang on the wall, so I love the knife it’s solid, little blade wobble but nothing that makes it feel cheap at all, has a serial number on one side of the blade, razor sharp cool looking, ez to get firm grip and yet comfortable, just a bad ass knife when open, definitely glad I didn’t go with the serated just to save a few bucks, serated is good for cutting cords and leather, seatbelts, etc, but this is what a knife should be like, can’t widdle or do much with a serated, you can cut an apple up nicely with this or peach, and I really can’t stress how pretty this knife is open in person, I’ll probably buy the small one to carry and this knife will never be used unfortunately, I’m getting older and like I said maybe an apple or something with a cord but it will sit with my other knives and be the pride and joy of my small seven or so knife collection, makes my M-Tech seem kind of flimsy and the M-Tech is a nice knife it if would keep an edge. That’s another story though I will try to get some picture soon for you. P.s. the price fluctuates on this knife, so throw it in your cart and check back each day till it’s down to like twenty one at what I think is it’s cheapest and it will go as high as twenty six or so. This picture they have does this knife no justice. So good day and I wouldn’t recommend this for a child, since it’s a two hand open and closer that’s hard to do even that way and it it razor blade sharp and it’s a big knife kind of.
