GERBERGear Paraframe Folding Pocket Knife with Clip

I have utilized this knife as a pocketknife for several years. I like the size, the light weight, and the ruggedness. The only reason I had to buy this was as a replacement for one lost to an ER admittance recently. Love the product!

The small size means it fits nicely in any pocket. smooth case means it goes i and put smoothly. Good sharp blade seems to hold the edge better than the no names i returned. They were on sale so i bought ten for random gifting...A SMASH HIT!

I'm no knife expert. Definitely not a knife snob. I'm not using this knife for survival or defense...I hang it inside my pants pocket and use it to cut stuff. If that is how you plan to use it, I recommend that you give it a try.I really like this little knife. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but the ridiculously-low price enticed me to give it a try. After using it for a month, I wouldn't have been disappointed if it had cost a few bucks more. It came reasonably sharp (not shaving-sharp, but paper-slicing sharp) and has held that edge for the short time I have been using it. It is light. My cheap kitchen scale says it is 1.4oz or 40 grams, so it weighs about the same as $1.75 in quarters. For being so small and light, it feels quite solid to me. It opens smoothly and has no wiggle in the blade when locked open. It looks like it has a (nylon?) washer next to the blade to keep it snug and smooth. Hopefully that will last for a long time because I imagine the blade would wiggle a bit if that wore out.I saw several reviews that said it can't be opened and closed with one hand. I didn't find that to be true. It would be lot lot easier to open 1-handed if they added a thumb stud or extended the back of the blade, but I don't have a lot of trouble with it unless my fingers are slippery. In any case, I find it easy to close with one hand. Not always the case with lock blades.The one problem I have with this knife is the center hole on the side opposite of the clip is large enough to get a fingertip into when digging around in your pocket. It is POSSIBLE to nick your finger on the blade if you're not careful; not too likely, but possible. I find that clipping the knife inside my pocket at the top makes it easier to find and makes it less likely to nick my finger when feeling around in my pocket. I haven't actually cut myself yet, but buyers should be aware of that until Gerber changes the frame design.Overall, this has become my favorite small knife for everyday carry. I also carry the tiny Swiss Army Classic, but this knife is much better for cutting things more substantial than an apple. If you're on the fence, just give it a try (before they realize they could charge a few dollars more.) I'm buying another in case I lose this one.

Sharp out of the box, nice and lightweight with a sturdy clip but I will be removing it to use strictly as a back pocket knife. Overall satisfied.

An excellent and easy choice. During a convention in the EU, none of my friends had knives to open the boxes to assemble the booth. I bought several of these as gifts for the US show this year. The handle feels good, opens easy, and should keep them from skanking up my knife. :)

This is a perfect ultralight knife for eating steak on a backpacking trip. Easy to clean. Easy to sharpen. Very high quality.

It’s pretty small and this makes it hard to open and close safely. Going with the bigger version.

Love these knives! I have used them daily for multiple years (I have lost a few on jobs 🤪) and they have always held up beautifully. This one or the tactical blade (which is probably my favorite) Super lightweight, fits great in the pocket without causing wear spots on the pants (nor your leg!) Easy to open and close and fits great in the hand. Super little knife for the price!
