Gerber Gear Paraframe EDC

I’m really impressed with this Gerber EDC knife! It’s small, yet fits perfectly in my hand, making it comfortable for everyday carry. The blade cuts smoothly and is incredibly sharp right out of the box. It’s become my go-to tool for quick tasks, and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Highly recommend it for anyone in need of a reliable, compact knife!

Love these little knives. I work in maintenance and having a nice sharp, small knife is a necessity for so many reasons. These things ship wicked sharp and stay that way for a good long while with little to no upkeep- and as a bonus, when I inevitably leave them behind on a job, they’re cheap to replace!

I gave this small Gerber folding knife as a gift and it was a hit! Solid build, sharp blade, and easy to carry. Perfect for everyday use or tossing in a tool kit. Definitely a quality, practical gift.

Would of gave 5 stars but it's to skinny for my tastes

Very well made for the money. I use this little knife daily it seems. The blade securely locks open and closes easily. Fits in my pocket well without the bulk of a larger knife.

I think this is the perfect knife, holds an edge and great with he serrated back edge, value for the money is great, slim design and a great looking knife makes this a must carry for everyday. This is my fourth only since I keep leaving it somewhere! Love the grey color as well!

Razor sharp from the factory, this knife needed a bit of break-in for one handed opening. When closing, the liner lock makes a satisfying click when fully closed. This knife is a quality tool for every day use.

It is just okay.Pros:It is relatively inexpensive at $23 (the price as of the date of this review).It is light.It looks cool.The frame lock is secure.Cons:Don't trust any knife if the product information does not contain the specific type of steel it is made with.The blade is not especially sharp.The skeletal handle is a poor choice in combination with the frame lock;it contributes to the wobble.I sharpened the knife, but it did not stay sharp for very long cutting boxes.There is a fair bit of wobble. I would not use this for heavy duty tasks.The opening action can be a bit stiff; there are some occasions where I struggle to open it with one hand.Overall, my feeling is that I wish that I had spent just slightly more money to get a better quality knife. If you want affordable, every day carry, I recommend getting a knife whose blade is made from D2, Nitro-V, or Sandvik 14c28n; those are all good "budget" steels that will outperform this for only slightly more money. If you want easy opening, look for a model that has a bearing; this increases the cost a bit also.For example, for $35-ish you can get a Civivi Mini Praxis. It has the same blade length, a strong liner lock, a ceramic bearing, a good quality synthetic grip (G10), and a much better blade. It is not as flashy as the Paraframe, but it flips so much better; that will attract attention, if that is what you want. On the other hand, if you want practical, you can get a more covert color scheme.
