Gerber Paraframe Mini Knife, Fine Edge, Stainless Steel [22-48485]

Lovely knife. Opens easily, locks solid.To unlock requires 2 hands isn't easy but solid.Knife was sharp enough from factory.Looks well made nice feel to it beveled edges etc.Is a small knife so use pics attached to see.

I bought this knife to open the packages from Amazon, and as they come well packed - they need something sharp to be opened.· This little guy was super sharp out of the box and it will stay sharp for a long time before needing to be touched up.· The styling and finish are fantastic.The one's I've purchased didn't have any noticeable flaws, scratches, etc. It's visually very attractive.· It's a lockback mechanism – it is very efficient and tight - so, once you open it, you don't need to worry about it closing on your hand.It's just what I was looking for!✔ Pros:+ Compact and lightweight+ Well-constructed+ Durable+ Very secure lock and close+ Affordable✖ Cons:- No complaints!( I will update this post if any quality issues arise )If you are looking for a small pocket knife for every day carry, for light duty (cutting open boxes, opening a package, cutting zip ties, opening envelopes etc.) - this is a great choice.Definitely recommended!

I bought this as I wanted a little knife to use as a box opener for my many Amazon packages. This seemed to tick the boxes, its small, sharp and relatively inexpensive.The packaging was nice to look at, but I could have done with the knife to get into it, frustration free it was not - some work required i think here.Once you have battled past the robust packaging, what you are presented with is a small but well made, nicely styled cutting device. The blade itself doesn't come mega sharp, however it sharpens well and seems to hold its edge. If Mick Dundee were here he'd be telling me "Thats not a knife" - but luckily I don't live in a 1980's movie!!The blade pulls out without any safety catch (not like you can do it accidentally) and clicks into a locked position with a satisfying sound. When you have finished cutting, carving and chopping (or whatever it is you intend to do with it) then there is a metal lever to press before you can manually fold the blade down.This lever - as commented in some other reviews is pretty stiff, and actually requires more force that i think is necessary. I think this makes the knife a little unsafe as the extra force required could distract from the pointy end of things. A small risk, but one that could have been avoided.Overall, I am pleased with my purchase - the knife will almost certainly get regular use - 1 point lost for the frustrating packaging and the excessive force required to close the blade.

I bought this product mainly for opening packackes, and cutting tape etc. I love how small it is, and the build quality is also great. Feels very sturdy and blade is also respectably sharp.It has a safety mechanism where the blade is out, it won't fold unless physically pushing the metal blocker away.I would recommend it, especially at this price point.

There's nothing quite like frothing rapids and the Herculean force of water crashing around boulders to thrill the souls of whitewater rafters. And there's no watersports knife quite like the Gerber River Shorty or its companion, the River Runner. We built these beauties especially for the unique requirements of rafting, paddling and diving.Medium-carbon stainless steel is the core material, polished to within an inch of its life to limit corrosion. The blade is 3 inches of river runnin' versatility, with the serrated sharp side aiming up rather than down."The sheath is constructed of a hard plastic, which is perfection in the wet world. It can receive the knife in two ways. And it can be worn on your belt, on your boot, or attached to your floatation vest.Overall Length: 6.73";Blade Length: 3.02";Weight: 4 oz.;Blade Style: Blunt Tip;Blade Material: High Carbon Stainless;Blade Type: Serrated;Handle Material Glass-filled nylon;Sheath Material: Molded Plastic"No sheath and it is not 3".
