Gerber Mini Paraframe™ Fine Edge Knife

[cs]

I know we have had many pocket knife threads here in the past, but I wanted to post about this one. I picked one of these up this weekend for less than $10 and this is an absoulute fantastic knife. It feels great in your hand, is lightweight and has that great Gerber edge.

Nice. Can any of those openings be used to open a beer bottle?

I appreciate that kind of focus!
Where did you get that for $10, Brian? I want a couple.

I just pulled out of my pocket a Gerber I found in a drawer in an abandoned house I bought many years ago...
Nice, light weight, and holds an edge...

I carry a Buck knife that I swear is a sailing knife, Buck just doesn't know it's a sailing knife. It's got a shackle breaker in the blade, a serrated edge for cutting line, and a hole in the handle for a lanyard. I'll have to go to their website. Maybe they DO list it as a sailing knife, but it wasn't sold to me as such. Damn good knife, though. I actually have two: one in my pocket and one in the pocket on my life jacket.

Heck, I don't drink beer myself. But I like to be prepared just in case a good looking woman might need a bottle opened. Call me a Boy Scout.
For that same reason, I always carry two knives, two Bic lighters, and two tampons.
I have impressed a few women with my stash.

My dad carries a Buck with a marlin spike. Kinda funny and sad that most people don't know what the spike is even for anymore.

I've looked at that Paraframe several times but have never bought one. Its hard to find deals like that; I usually have one of several Bucks or a razor knife in my pocket at all times.

Re: Gerber Mini Paraframe™ Fine Edge Knife

Over the years I have ownded a multitude of pocket knives. I've had the Bucks the Boker (German Tree Brand), The Old Timer, the Schrades, the Frost, the list could go on, but I love a Gerber knife. Every Gerber product that I have had has been outstanding. A Gerber seems to hold an edge better than most, even better that the Boker.

Here is a link to a site you can get one at:

Campmor

I got mine at the Evil Empire (Wal-Mart).

Re: Gerber Mini Paraframe™ Fine Edge Knife

I had an amazing Ken Onion, Kershaw spring assist pocket knife on me at all time until I left it at Phil's one night. He fell in love with it and just said he can't part with it So I have to get a new one $40 at Walmart. On the boat now I have a large Gerber folding with a rubber grip handle, but I miss my Kershaw

Re: Gerber Mini Paraframe™ Fine Edge Knife

I've never owned a Gerber but a friend used to swear by them. Now he says the quality of the metal on the new ones isn't as good and won't hold an edge. Don't know myself, just what he says.

I dont have the beer or the knife handy but I believe you can open a bottle with the back opening in the frame. let us know will you?

Re: Gerber Mini Paraframe™ Fine Edge Knife

Ditto on the Paraframe. Currently have one clipped to my pocket. Think I got mine at Lowes for the same price.
