Good Little Knife
This is my third Gerber pocket knife. They are sturdy enough to rely on, but not so expensive that you lose your mind when they go missing. (Even though I was pretty bummed when my last one disappeared.) I wish they would have put the little thumb nub on this knife, which allows for one-handed opening. Outside of that it’s been a great EDC pocket knife.
Decent knife for everyday
I bought this knife almost a year ago, brought it with me to Mt. Rainer and small camping trips. I really like the knife for what it is. A light weight pocket knife with medium to light use for cutting. The blade is a little dull for my taste, the front guard is a little smaller than I anticipated, but it's very light. I some times forget that I have it with me. The only problem that I encounter with this knife is that over time the blade slowly started to get lose, I fixed that with taking it apart and put everything back together.
Nice tool for Trail Running
I always carry a knife when running trail. On a recent trip to Alaska I was forced to leave my CRKT at home since I couldn't take it on my carry-on. So I ordered this on REI and had it shipped to the ANC store. It was smaller than i had expected but met my needs overall. I wear a running hydration pack and this knife fit well into the front sheet pocket. It did not bounce given its light weight. I used it around the camp in Denali and performed basic camp functions with it prior to race day. I now carry it in my laptop bag daily as a nice low bulk alternative to a swiss army style knife.
Great EDC Pocket Knife.
This is my second mini paraframe, I lost my first one. This is a great EDC pocket knife. The clip allows you to keep it in the pocket watch pocket or the main pocket of most pants. Using the clip keeps it readily available so you don't have to dig in your pocket for it. It also keeps it secure so it doesn't fall out of your pocket when sitting. The knife cuts like a razor, and stays sharp. The low price makes it a great EDC pocket knife for everyone.
Sturdy, well designed compact knife!
Bought this knife due to the small size, light weight, and design. I personally love the design. And note that it's really quite small. 3" in length; 3/8" thickness excl. clip and 4/8" w/ clip. Feels very well made and sturdy, with a tight locking mechanism. Takes quite some force to release the lock, such that if you open and close the knife 10 times your thumb will start to hurt. Be careful when closing the knife with one hand. Overall, lovely (cute?) little knife, stylish design, very well made. Small and light. Locking mechanism may be a bit too strong, but you'll get used to it.
OK knife, goofy lock,
This is a nice, small knife that will last. The lock mechanism is a little hard to use and requires the user to put his/her finger right in front of the blade to close it. The mechanism reduces weight and complexity, but is not as easy to use as a standard lockback blade. The blade also was a little sub-par in its finish, especially for Gerber. The side of the blade opposite the serrations had a bit of a "lip" that should have been ground/polished off in manufacturing. I own other Gerbers and this is not as good as the rest. Good for day-to-day carrying because of the compact size, though.
Gerber Mini Paraframe knife
I have a couple of these in Day Packs for hiking and fishing and I routinely give these as mementos to my Eagle Scouts as they achieve that rank in Scouting. For those who are prone to losing the open-frame knives, affix a lanyard through an opening and attach the end around the belt on your pants or a secure loop on your pack. Items that can fall out or fall off, eventually will! Major cutting, food prep, or cleaning are best left to larger knives with longer blades and handles. This is a very good product. I like it.
Small and Handy
I have been looking for a small pocket knife with clip to replace the many small pocket knifes I have that end up in the bottom of my pocket mixing with change and other things. I didn't want or need a large knife. This knife is a small and simple knife to have available for opening packages, mail, cutting rope, or similar simple needs. Because it is small and has a clip, I can put it into any pocket and it is out of the way, but always available. My only regret, I did not buy two.

Although it's a nice size for dropping in your pocket, it's a little weighty. Sort of like carrying a dollar in coins. It takes two hands to open. Difficult for someone with average size fingers and darn near impossible to open with one hand. When closed the blade is protected and not capable of accidently opening. When open it has a secure lock but forget about ease of closing. Takes quite a bit of effort to close using your fingertips and nails which tend to get painful after a few times. If this was a fraction thicker, capable of being open with one hand and with a normal thumb lock, it would be perfect. I'm returning this one and getting something else.
Knife lover!!!
Love my little knife. Always using it for little projects.
