From the Manufacturer GERBER Paraframe I Fine Edge Stainless Steel The mid-sized member of Gerber's Paraframe family is the Paraframe I. Like the other members of this family the 3" clip-point blade is forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel. The uniquely designed handle is cut from 314 grade stainless steel. Its ergonomic design makes it lightweight and the stainless steel makes it strong-.the best of both worlds. Technical Specs: - Overall Length: 7.01'' - Length Closed: 4.11'' - Length of Blade: 3.01'' - Weight: 2.6 oz Mfg No: 22-48444 Manufacturer: Gerber Blades. 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 there's more air than metal 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: Easy open/close. Sturdy and comfortable - Nice EDC knife. Lightweight and easy to open. The belt/pocket clip is sturdy without being difficult to use. The sharp serrated edge comes in handy for stripping wire. You'll need to sharpen the blade, but that doesn't stop it from being a great knife.

## 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.

Nice EDC knife. Lightweight and easy to open. The belt/pocket clip is sturdy without being difficult to use. The sharp serrated edge comes in handy for stripping wire. You'll need to sharpen the blade, but that doesn't stop it from being a great knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, everywhere pocket knife
*by J***L on November 9, 2025*

A favorite knife! Inexpensive, very sharp and holds an edge, lightweight, and reliable. Unaffected by water, with a solid blade lock keeps it from accidentally closing. I keep one in my car, small cases, and my backpack and ,sadly, I’ve donated a couple to TSA because I forget they’re tucked away.
