Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

Great knife at a reasonable price. Held up to all the standard abuse I put my camp knives to...it also looks pretty bad*ss...which is about as important to me in a knife as it's actualy functionality....my only complaint is that the belt clip would not always completely secure as I put it away...which was not a problem until the day I lost it...but at this price, I will not cry too hard about having to buy a new one.

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

I have had the knife for 5 months now. I carry it daily and use it duite a bit at work. It fits great in a pocket, despite its larger size. It is easy to slip into a pack and take on the trails. the blade does seem to have dulled quite a bit in the short amount of time I have used it.

I bought this knife last year. It's a great knife... If I could only find it again. I lost it sometime last month and I miss it very much. Worth the money. Love the design.

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

This knife has served me well ever since I've owned it. It has been mostly used for campsite cooking and cutting up lunches while leading groups on the trail. The locking feature is great so that it doesn't close on fingers, and it is easy to clean. It is also a great every day knife that I carry around with me most of the time. If you plan on doing light backpacking, i would look into a smaller, lighter knife that will do the very same job as this one!

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

This is a good solid midsize knife. It is perfect to handle those jobs too big for a pocket knife and for jobs too small for a fixed blade.
The clip has to be broken in. It is very stiff, but that maybe a blessing in the long run.

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

this is a great knife, and if you know what your doing, dulling fast isn't a problem. it performed perfectly for me till I took it to the Alabama bayou. the humidity caused the blade to start to oxidize within hours of arriving. if you don't mind cleaning the knife often, this is the knife for you.

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

I really liked this knife at first, not too sharp out of the box, but sharpens up nicely. After light use outdoors it was dull, and hardly holds an edge. The screws holding the frame together come loose on mine, lost one and finally had to use red locktite to keep them all in. Kind of a letdown, but I still like Gerber knives in general.

Comments about Gerber Paraframe II - Serrated:

I have owned all of the paraframe knives. I have used them for all kinds of uses from cleaning game birds to cutting rope. They work great. This knife is easier to use than the smaller ones. It fits my hand better. Other than that I have nothing bad to say about the knife.
