The Gerber Paraframe II is a no-nonsense folder that combines modern minimalist design with serious cutting performance. Built with everyday functionality in mind, this manual folder is rugged, easy to maintain, and ready for just about any task that comes your way. Whether you're working around the house, on the job, or out in the field, the Paraframe II brings trusted Gerber reliability in a sleek and durable package.
Its partially serrated 3.53-inch stainless steel clip point blade delivers the best of both worlds—precision slicing with the plain edge and aggressive cutting power with the serrations. That makes it a versatile tool for everything from slicing cord and rope to carving and detail work. The bead-blasted finish gives the blade a clean, matte look that resists glare while enhancing its corrosion resistance and hiding signs of use.
Opening the knife is smooth and intuitive thanks to the built-in thumb stud, making one-handed deployment quick and easy. Once open, the sturdy framelock mechanism engages with a reassuring snap, locking the blade in place for secure handling under pressure. It’s a design that’s simple, strong, and dependable—just what you’d expect from a knife built to be used, not just carried.
The gray stainless steel handle adds to the knife’s striking industrial look and houses weight-reducing cutouts that lighten the load without sacrificing strength. At 4.4 ounces, the Paraframe II offers a substantial, confident feel in the hand, yet it’s light enough to carry comfortably all day. The open frame construction also makes this knife a breeze to clean, especially after messy tasks.
Measuring 4.74 inches closed and 8.27 inches overall, the Paraframe II strikes an ideal balance between carry-friendly dimensions and full-size utility. The integrated tip-down pocket clip secures the knife firmly and discreetly when not in use, while the slim profile ensures it slips into your pocket without bulk. Whether clipped to your jeans, backpack, or tool belt, it’s always within reach when you need it.
This knife is more than just a good-looking tool—it’s built to work hard. Gerber’s reputation for durable, thoughtfully engineered gear shines through in every detail of the Paraframe II. Its practical design, easy maintenance, and reliable performance make it a standout choice for anyone looking for a serious everyday companion.
