Gear Paraframe Mini Pocket Knife, 2.2" Fine Edge Small EDC Folding Knife with Safety Lock for Everyday Carry, Gifts for Men, Stainless Steel

I've been looking for a small knife to add to my keychain that wasn't big, bulky, or intimidating. This little Gerber Paraframe Mini is perfect. It is incredibly lightweight—I honestly forget it's there until I need it. The open frame design looks cool, but it also means there's less metal, so it weighs practically nothing. It's been a lifesaver for all those little daily tasks: opening Amazon boxes, cutting twine, slicing an apple at lunch, you name it. The blade is sharp right out of the package and the locking mechanism feels solid and secure, so I'm not worried about it accidentally closing on my fingers. It's not a heavy-duty survival knife, and it's not meant to be. It's the perfect small, reliable blade to have on you when you unexpectedly need one.

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.

Had one of these before and lost it... found it here on amazon. Its technically a mini pocket knife, but follows legal orders, can carry in pocket, etc. Very handy little knife, i prefer it over the larger knives as i have no use for one. Has a belt clip, comes fairly sharp

Great little pocket knife. The clip is strong and stays clipped. Sharp and perfect for boxes and other things. It IS small, I wouldn’t buy it for EDC.

I'm no knife expert. Definitely not a knife snob. I'm not using this knife for survival or defense...I hang it inside my pants pocket and use it to cut stuff. If that is how you plan to use it, I recommend that you give it a try. I really like this little knife. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but the ridiculously-low price enticed me to give it a try. After using it for a month, I wouldn't have been disappointed if it had cost a few bucks more. It came reasonably sharp (not shaving-sharp, but paper-slicing sharp) and has held that edge for the short time I have been using it. It is light. My cheap kitchen scale says it is 1.4oz or 40 grams, so it weighs about the same as $1.75 in quarters. For being so small and light, it feels quite solid to me. It opens smoothly and has no wiggle in the blade when locked open. It looks like it has a (nylon?) washer next to the blade to keep it snug and smooth. Hopefully that will last for a long time because I imagine the blade would wiggle a bit if that wore out. I saw several reviews that said it can't be opened and closed with one hand. I didn't find that to be true. It would be lot lot easier to open 1-handed if they added a thumb stud or extended the back of the blade, but I don't have a lot of trouble with it unless my fingers are slippery. In any case, I find it easy to close with one hand. Not always the case with lock blades. The one problem I have with this knife is the center hole on the side opposite of the clip is large enough to get a fingertip into when digging around in your pocket. It is POSSIBLE to nick your finger on the blade if you're not careful; not too likely, but possible. I find that clipping the knife inside my pocket at the top makes it easier to find and makes it less likely to nick my finger when feeling around in my pocket. I haven't actually cut myself yet, but buyers should be aware of that until Gerber changes the frame design. Overall, this has become my favorite small knife for everyday carry. I also carry the tiny Swiss Army Classic, but this knife is much better for cutting things more substantial than an apple. If you're on the fence, just give it a try (before they realize they could charge a few dollars more.) I'm buying another in case I lose this one.

Light and solid small pocket knife. Easy to carry and small enough to fit in your pocket.

It is a great knife, the blade is clean and comes sharp. Overall, a great addition to my collection.

The knife itself is a great little knife. However, the second time I put it in my pocket and slid the clip over my pocket the clip broke off! There's still a little end of the clip secured to the knife by the screw but, the clip with half the hole for the mounting screw are broken off. There was no stress or anything involved. Went to slightly pull the clip open and it broke off. Would not buy this again.
