Gerber

The GERBER Paraframe I is a mid-sized knife that belongs to the Paraframe family. It features a 3" clip-point blade made from high-grade surgical stainless steel. The handle is uniquely designed and crafted from 314 grade stainless steel, making it lightweight and strong. With an overall length of 7.01" and a weight of 2.6 oz, it is a versatile and practical tool. Gerber Blades, the manufacturer, didn't settle for just one version of the Paraframe knife. They developed a total of eight versions to cater to different preferences. This frame lock design has gained popularity among knife enthusiasts and has become a staple in the industry. The simplicity of this knife is not only in its form but also in its function. It is effortless to open and features a clip point blade that is perfect for close-quarters cutting. The handle is designed to be open, with more air than metal, making it lightweight and easy to clean. Carrying a Paraframe in your pocket means you are fully equipped to handle any task. The only challenge is deciding which version to choose.
