| Product Name: | Gerber Paraframe I Knife, Fine Edge, Stainless Steel [22-48444] [Fine Edge] |
| Product Description: | The Paraframe features a 3.01 in. clip point blade made from high carbon stainless steel with stainless steel handle with a minimal frame locking design. Knife has an overall length of 7.01 in. and includes a pocket clip. ATTRIBUTES -Blade Length (inches): -3.00 -Blade Material: -Stainless -Lock Style: -Liner Lock From the Manufacturer GERBER Paraframe I Fine Edge Stainless Steel The mid-sized member of Gerber's Paraframe family is the Paraframe I. Like the other members of this family the 3" clip-point blade is forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel. The uniquely designed handle is cut from 314 grade stainless steel. Its ergonomic design makes it lightweight and the stainless steel makes it strong-.the best of both worlds. Technical Specs: - Overall Length: 7.01'' - Length Closed: 4.11'' - Length of Blade: 3.01'' - Weight: 2.6 oz Mfg No: 22-48444 Manufacturer: Gerber Blades. If Gerber had settled for making just one version of the Paraframe knife, people might have been content. Because this reputable example of frame lock design caught on admirably among knife lovers...making the Paraframe a mainstay of the industry. But we figured there's no merit in being stingy, so we worked up a total of eight versions. And the people were pleased. There is a simplicity to this knife that relates as much to function as it does to form. It's a breeze to open. The clip point blade configuration is ideal for cutting in close quarters. Openness rules the day where the handle is concerned there's more air than metal so it's quite lightweight and quite easy to keep clean. Clip a Paraframe into your pocket, and you're fully equipped to take care of business. Your only challenge is figuring out which one... |

FWIW
Word is this particular model's 3" blade is made out of 7cr17Mov stainless steel and hardened to 55-57 HRC. That's budget Chinese steel and Gerber doesn't have great reputation for the heat treatment on this particular model. There is also a lot of hate for the design and some users have complained about failure of the frame lock. My copy locked up solidly, until the incident below happened.
I had one that served me well back before I knew much about knives. It resists corrosion well, but I had to sharpening it regularly due to the softer steal. The same is true of all knives that use budget steel. Manual opening via thumb studs works well one handed. You will eventually get a small coin or key stuck in the frame as it rides around in your pocket, but the cut out design does save weight.
My visiting mother-in-law helped us out with some laundry and didn't check my pocket, so my paraframe got a ride through the washing machine and spent about an hour, half open, bouncing around inside my jeans pocket in a dryer set on high. It came out too hot to hold and the frame lock would no longer engage fully. I probably could have taken it apart and filed off a bit to make it work again, but never bothered. Prior to the overheating, which was probably just enough to soften the temper, the knife always performed satisfactorily. That was probably 20 years ago, so not sure how recent models will compare.
It's a decent little knife and at this price it's a decent deal. Gerber makes some darn fine knives but most folks don't consider this one of their better models. I'd only jump on this deal if you love the look of the paraframe. There aren't a ton of knives in this price range to recommend as better than the paraframe, unless you are willing to go with a fixed blade sheath knife and then your money would be much better spent on a Morakniv. Or add on another $10 and have a bunch of better folding knives to choose from like the many Kershaws in 8cr13mov or an OKC Rat.

Im looking for a good budget EDC. Any recommendations?
I would search SlickDeals for Newest deals with the word Knife in it and brush up on the last 20-30 comment sections on knife deals. You'll learn a lot about weight, grips, flipping types, thumb deploys, steel types, price ranges, etc.
Can't go wrong with the Kershaw leek. I think there's some on sale on this forum for around $30.
Love my Kershaw Leek for over a year now. $30 is a deal for it.
