My gerber para frame 1 plain edge blade

I’ve had my GERBER para frame 1 since September 2017 and carry it clipped to my pocket I really like the fact that it is light weight and very easy to use I use it at my camper then bring it home at the end of the season and then it will go in my hunting backpack for hunting season that way I’ve got something to use in the woods for when we take snacks with us I can use it instead of using the hunting knives cause if it gets dull no big deal sharpen it back up and put back in hunting bag it will stay there all hunting season and probably all summer because I have my gerber one flip that I can always take with me back to my camper and use upcoming next season in April 2019. I have several different gerber knives and really like them really well will be buying them again in the near future.

Excellent knife

I gave this knife to my son, who is a Captain in the Army. He's delighted with it and carries it on duty (he's in the Paras)

Nice little knife

This is a nice, simple little frame lock. The smooth handle feels good and looks cool. It was a little stiff to open at first but with a little practice and figuring out how to hold it when opening I'm ok with that now. It is kind of small, and it looks like the thumb stud interferes with the pocket clip. I don't think I'd edc this as it is too small, although the quality is worthy of it. For <$15 it is 5 stars if it fits you.

Fairly cheap but love this knife

Got this knife years ago and it has dutifully served me since. I use it primarily as an EDC and it has worked well for minor food prep and all the smaller tasks I've used it for. What I love so much about it is how it feels in my hand. The contour of the frame and the cutout where my index finger falls makes it feel like an extension of my hand. The blade doesn't keep an edge like an expensive blade but it is easy to sharpen and holds up well for minor tasks. Never had an issue with the frame lock failing or the thumb screws loosening. It is possible to push your fingers into the frame if your fingers are small but in all the time I've had the knife I have never come close to accidentally cutting myself.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness

Cons: Pocket Clip, Lock Type

I use this knife everyday, it is a great knife for all around use. This knife holds a great edge and is easy to sharpen. The downfall to this knife is that the flex steel that locks the blade in place gets weak after a while and starts to crack. But I have owned this knife for about six years and it has done its job well.

Watch out for your fingers in the handle when closing

I really want to like this knife. It felt good. The blade was razor sharp out of the box. But watch out for your fingers. The openings in the handle allow your fingers or thumb to get cut. The blade is very sharp and will cut your finger easily when closing if you are not very careful. Gerber should change the design slightly to fix this.
