Featuring a plain edge locking blade, this mini knife is lightweight, easy to clean, and opens effortlessly.

Whether you're looking for tactical knives or hunting knives, this versatile tool fits the bill. Enhance your camping gear, emergency survival gear, hiking accessories, and job performance with this compact folding pocket knife. Its minimal design means it can travel with you anywhere, making it an essential piece of EDC equipment for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals alike. From the Manufacturer If Gerber had settled for making just one version of the Paraframe knife, people might have been content. Because this reputable example of frame lock design caught on admirably among knife lovers. Making the Paraframe a mainstay of the industry. But we figured there's no merit in being stingy, so we worked up a total of eight versions. And the people were pleased. There is a simplicity to this knife that relates as much to function as it does to form. It's a breeze to open. The clip point blade configuration is ideal for cutting in close-Quarters. Openness rules the day where the handle is concerned&no.8212;there's more air than metal&no.8212;so it's quite lightweight and quite easy to keep clean. Clip a Paraframe into your pocket and you're fully equipped to take care of business. Your only challenge is figuring out which one.

Review: Great Little Knife! - I actually bought two of these a year apart just to have when wearing light shorts around the house and doing yard work. I carry a larger Spyderco for EDC but wanted something small and lightweight for around the house for typical household stuff. These knives are very lightweight, very sharp, and maintain an edge very well. Not going to skin a deer with it but it's perfect for my intended purpose and disappears in my pocket. The pocket clip is also very strong and sturdy. Great value for the price if you want a small and lightweight yet sturdy blade for basic tasks.
Review: My favorite small knife (after a month) - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I don't understand how the knife is rusting for some of the reviewers if it is stainless?  Am I missing something?**
A: Do a little research on what defines stainless steel.
A chromium content above 11% is the usual definition.  There are plenty of other elements added to stainless steel to improve wear resistance, hardness or toughness.  They can have adverse effects on how the chromium binds with carbon in the steel.
Not all stainless steels are the same
H1 and LC200N are probably the most rust resistant stainless steels.
CTS XHP while considered a stainless, is not rust resistant.
Guarantee, the junk steel here is probably 300 or 400 grade and not a specialty stainless by Carpenter, Crucible or Bohler.
You get what you pay for.

**Q: How do you close the knife? Cut my hand trying to do it**
A: You just need to push out the left hand side of the frame on the underside of the knife to unlock the blade. It's stiff (as it should be), but can be done with one hand if careful.  (Please see my posted video above)

**Q: is it lockback?**
A: No. It is a locking knife, but not a lockback. "Lockback" means there's a "spring loaded" (torsion bar, actually) locking leaver (rocker bar) located on the spine (back) of the frame which unlocks the blade when pressed. The locking mechanism for this knife is on the side of the frame (it's actually a part of the frame itself), near the pivot (same side as the pocket clip) and must be pulled back to unlock the blade. Since it has no "knob" and does not protrude from the frame, it can be a bit difficult to pull it back (it's very tight). It is very difficult (and not particularly safe) to close this knife with one hand.

**Q: What is the difference between the gerber paraframe 1 and the paraframe 2?**
A: The more expensive one, which I believe is the II is a little larger.   Check size specs on their site.  Otherwise identical.   Pick carefully  - moved to the larger one and it does make a difference depending on if carrying in everyday slacks or in work pants.

*by D***K on August 14, 2025*

Sharpness:9/10 Ease to carry:10/10 Size 9/10 Sturdiness:9/10 Easy to open:7/10 Long form: I’ve never bought a knife more than once, but this is my second purchase of this knife. It’s the best every day carry knife I’ve ever owned. I was a chef, I used it to cut down boxes, at home I use it for everything, I’m putting zip ties in my pc cause I’m too lazy to remove extra fans and just end up zip tying my liquid cooler to my old fans, I use this knife to cut the zips down. You can wear gym shorts and barely notice it clipped to your pocket. TLDR: cuts everything. Small and compact, easy to cut, not as easy as flip opens to actually open. Very thin blade. 9/10 but it
