GERBERGear Paraframe Mini Pocket Knife, 2.2 Inch Serrated Edge Small EDC Folding Knife with Safety Lock for Everyday Carry, Gifts for Men, Stainless Steel

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.

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!

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.

Nice knife, but only a nice knife. The action is stiff, even with a drop of oil. The liner lock is solid but it does take a bit of a shove to free. The blade is sharp, but not sure what metal it is made from. 440C? 440B? or something else, it does not say. It has a nice balance, and it looks cool. sort of like the frame of Ducati, but not th engine.

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!

nice knife for small things. fits nicely right in my pocket

What I liked the most about this knife is that is arrived sharp right out of the boxOther comments are:The belt clip doesn’t have any sharp edgesThe opening at the end is large enough to add a cord or keychainThis knife seems like it is a good first knife for anybodyThe price is one of the best design points for an EDC knife
