Gerber Paraframe I Tanto Black SE is a lightweight folding knife for everyday use. It combines the functionality of a full-size folding knife with a compact size: when folded, it fits in the palm of your hand, but when unfolded, you have a tanto-shaped blade that is almost 7.6 cm long.
The tanto-shaped blade is designed with a strong, angular tip that is particularly well suited to stabbing and pushing cutting tasks. The tanto design is traditionally valued for tactical use as well as for demanding tasks where the blade tip must be durable. The partially serrated blade adds to the versatility of the knife - the smooth section handles precision work, while the serrated section bites effectively into rope, webbing and other tough materials.
The blade is finished with a black titanium nitride coating that reduces reflections and protects the blade from corrosion. The dark finish also gives the knife a more considered look. Opening is easy with one hand thanks to the thumb rests on the blade. The frame lock locking mechanism holds the blade securely in place during use, and the blade only opens when the lock is deliberately released.
The stainless steel handle and open frame design make the knife lightweight and easy to clean. Weight is only 85 grams. A sturdy pocket clip keeps the knife securely in place in a pants pocket or belt loop, so it travels discreetly until needed.
