Gerber 22-48484 Mini Paraframe Knife, Serrated Edge
I love this knife! I bought one for light use around the house and at work, and I would have to say this is the best money I have spent in a long time. The knife came very sharp and the blade does not dull out as quickly as many other knives tend to do, especially those around this price range. The handle is surprisingly sturdy, the screws came incredibly tight, the clip will never worry you, and the handle fits perfectly in your handle. I have never once feared the blade would come loose even during heavy use, and I never have to worry about the blade coming out in my pocket.
The only thing I don’t like about this knife is that, especially with gloves on, the blade is very tough to get out with only one hand. I know most fingernail-release blades like this are the same way, but if the opening was slightly bigger, then the problem would be solved.
I bought one, loved it so much I bought one for a half dozen co-workers and friends. They all found this a very useful and handy tool that is small enough and convenient enough to carry anywhere. The problem with many small knives is the blade locking mechanism rarely holds well, and when one places the knife under stress the blade will, “Wobble”. The Paraframe knife locks so well it exibits none of that problem, and is simply ‘un-locked’ with a fingernail. It could hardly be any easier !
Cabela’s wisely sold them to me, then yesterday, on my way through Pennsylvania on business, I stopped to purchase a few more, and they no longer carry this m odel knife. They carry only the large 3″ bladed version at this point. That is what brought me to Amazon, so I can order the knives here instaed. Gerber made a simple knife, even better. You won’t be disappointed in owning this knife. Typical Gerber sharpness, durable, and the serrated edge comes in handy on opening boxes made with thick cardboard, or fastened with stubborn tape, and plastic strapping.
I’m a fan of small, compact knives and this one fits the bill. The one dislike I have is that the blade doesn’t have as much un serrated cutting edge as I’d like. I should have looked at the picture more closely before buying

This is a good value purchase. Sturdy and well designed.
Check the screws when it arrives as they were not all tight on mine.
Strong knife. Very small knife. Very light.
I like it, simple enough to carry daily in your pocket without thinking you’re carrying a weapon. Its so light you won’t even notice its there.
Blade has stayed sharp through everything I’ve put it to. I like the paraframe lock because I know it won’t open if I’m putting a lot of pressure on the blade at any angle.
Only reason I gave this a 4 star, is because there is no thumb stud to open one handed…
Besides that, its a good cheap buy. Good gift !!
