Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-48447 Paraframe II Knife, Stainless, Serrated EdgeCustomer Review: Same great design...with one crucial flaw. Summary: 3 Stars
I have been a fan of Gerber blades since my last pocket knife which I owned for many years without any complaints. The blade stayed razor sharp with a routine sharpening every few months and the frame never became loose from the blade even after "average" everyday use.
The blade would open into a locking position with the simple flick of the wrist or you could use your thumb/index finger to flick the blade open via the well-placed peg.
I recently lost my favorite knife I have ever owned which was the previous model of the blade you see before you. This newer model although it comes in a new stainless steel finish has one terrible modification. There is a new safety mechanism that holds the blade into place while in a closed position. I am a southpaw (left-handed individual) and it is near impossible to flick the blade open using my index finger, which was the reason I loved the original model I had. It allowed for quick access to the blade and it's utility. In a downward thrusting position the blade still opens with a simple flick of the wrist but I miss the ease of motion in the upright position that the last knife I had provided.
There is a chance that this new model will not affect the blade play for those of you who are right-handed but I just wanted to forewarn those few "lefty's" out there looking for a smooth-action knife.
All in all, Gerber still makes the best blades out there for the money, and I will continue to purchase their products.
Description of Gerber 22-48447 Paraframe II Knife, Stainless, Serrated EdgeGerber 22-48447 Paraframe II Knife, Serrated Edge, Stainless Steel If Gerber had settled for making just one version of the Paraframe knife, people might have been content. Because this reputable example of framelock 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 are pleased. There is a simplicity to this knife that relates as much to function as it does to form. Its 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 its 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...
