Gear Paraframe Tanto Pocket Knife - 3" Serrated Edge Blade Folding Knife - EDC Gear and Equipment - Black

I've had this knife for about 2 months and carry it every day. My thoughts in order of importance are: 1) The blade comes razor sharp. I work in hospital maintenance and construction. Just the other day I cut the corner off a thick rubber matt with a carpet topping with one consistent clean pull. Thumbs up! 2) The knife is a very well built knife with no play in the blade. 3) The lock snaps tight giving you a lot of confidence when cutting. 4) The size is just right- I've had the Paraframe mini which is a nice compact knife, but a little too small. The Paraframe II is little too large in my opinion for everyday carrying. 5) The tanto point is a terrific option for consistent safe cutting similar to a box blade/utility knife. 6) Thumb pins on both sides are very nice. The blade is a little hard for me to flip out with only my thumb. BUT, with a little practice, you can pull the blade out a little with two fingers and then open the rest of the way with the thumb pin, all with one hand. The nice part of this is that the blade stays snugly in place. 7) The side clip is large enough to clip to your pocket and it is tight enough to stay there. 8) The black finish is very sharp looking and very smooth. it appears to be fairly durable but will begin to show some wear, but honestly that makes it look even better because it is USED and not just show piece. If you are looking for a great everyday knife without a big investment you will be very pleased with this knife.

Pretty happy with the knife. For the $13 price tag on the medium it's worth every penny and more. I would be content paying twice that. Let's start with the basics. This is the medium, it is about 7 inches. This one does come with a serrated edge and thumb pins. The small version has neither. I came from a drop point paraframe 1, and as you can see from the third picture the 2 series changed the closing mechanism. It uses the frame on the newer models, which I am not a fan of. It makes the blade a little harder to close. It's still manageable one handed, but I feel it's only a matter of time until I catch my finger. On the other hand, the closing clip is what broke first on my paraframe 1, as I like to fidget with my knives. Overall maybe .5" or less smaller than the paraframe drop point model. The steel itself is decent, as I expect from Gerber. Out of the box workable, sharpened up to shaving level in a few swipes. Not a $200 knife, but we didn't pay that did we? Good weight and size, my new EDC. Exactly what I needed.

Little smaller and thinner than I would have wanted but super sharp and sturdy. Great little pocket knife . well made

Lightweight, appears to be extremely durable, solid knife. Medium size fits well in my large hand. Picked this up for work. I always seem to be the guy people look to when in need of a blade and I was tired of telling them I didn’t have one. The open/close mechanism was extremely stiff out of the box, and as other reviewers have mentioned simply open and close the knife 100-200 times and it will break in. Very solid, no fear of the blade slipping and cutting off a finger. Pocket clip is rigid and holds well even in flimsy pants. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is that the blade was dull out of the box and when I sharpened it the finish scratched on the blade. Oh well, it’s a $12 knife that’s super sturdy, can’t really complain.

I bought this knife quite some time ago and I've carried it in my pocket every day since. It's perfect for every day use - the blade stays sharp, it's lightweight and it has a good strong clip, so it will never fall out of your pocket. Recently, I went to use it and the pivot pin failed. So of course, the blade fell right out of the handle and onto the floor. I contacted Gerber about their lifetime warranty, sent them a picture of the parts of the knife including the broken pin, and I received a brand new one in the mail a couple of weeks later, no questions asked. So back in my pocket it goes.

It's a nice size. The knife is sharp. Fits in the pocket easily.

Awesome little pocket knife. Went with the 2.5" model due to local concealed carry laws, would have liked a slightly larger one. Blade is very sharp. The opening was initially a bit stiff, but with a couple weeks of use, it's loosened to an ideal level. Blade locks perfectly, no wiggle whatsover. The belt clip is extremely snug - can hook it to my jeans pocket easy enough, but anything thicker can be a hassle. It's light weight, but feels solid when held. Given the price, I highly recommend it. I've had it about two months at the time of this review. Hope this helps.

I absolutely love this knife. I have never had a tanto blade before but I am a fan now. I really like how this is a slim profile knife that is comfortable in your pocket. I keep this with me every day for work. It's great quality, and in my experience Gerber has always been dependable for me. But, I will say the open action is a bit stiff. As well as the arm to close the knife. If I could change anything I would definitely make those easier to maneuver. But it does ensure you will have a solid close and open. You don't have to worry about it opening in your pocket or bag, and the blade won't close on your during use. And for me it's usually a two handed task. I can't just flick it open with my thumb or anything. But that is in true pocket knife style. Still a great knife though. Definitely would recommend it. Don't forget to mark if this was helpful or not!

Petit couteau pliant bien pratique, qui tiens bien en place dans la poche grâce à son systeme de fixation. Assez discret et particulièrement tranchant, rempli parfaitement son office! Se déplie/replie facilement, même à une main. L'acier quand à lui est de très bonne qualité et résiste à l'oxydation de l'eau de mer pour des durées courtes (pensez à le laver après). Ne pas hésité à rengraisser très légèrement le mécanisme de temps en temps.

Este cuchillo es pequeño fácil de cargar, se ve de buen material, la verdad está marca de cuchillos tiene buenos diseños y usa materiales de calidad.

Rien à redire concernant ce couteau, il est exactement comme je l'attendais. Il est assez compact, léger et robuste. L'emballage aussi est résistant, pas facile de l'extirper. Le ton mat partira surement à l'usage mais ce n'est qu'un détail. Contrairement à ce qui est indiqué il fait 10,5cm plié et 17,8cm une fois ouvert. (Voir photos) Il est livré avec un petit embout de sécurité/protection plutôt inutile car on ne peut pas le plier complètement avec. (Voir photos) Pour ce qui est du système de verrouillage/déverrouillage, il s'agit d'un frame lock. (Voir photos) Voili voilou :)

Exelente producto me gusto en todas sus características y color mate lo ase lucir muy bien
