There are few items more useful than a good pocket knife. Whether you’re trekking in the wilderness or wrestling open an Amazon box at home (and with Prime Day coming up, that's likely to happen), a pocket knife has a seemingly endless number of uses. That’s why we’re jumping at this superb early Prime Day deal: Amazon is already offering one of Gerber's most sought-after pocket knives for the price of a smoothie.
The Gerber Paraframe Mini Pocket Knife is on sale right now for just $10—a 42% discount on its usual price of $17. This compact, capable folding knife has earned nearly 10,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who’ve used it at home, on backpacking trips, and more. It’s also one of Amazon’s top 3 bestselling pocket knives with over 3,000 purchased in the past month alone.
The smallest model in Gerber’s acclaimed Paraframe series, the Mini is designed for top-tier versatility and portability, and it’s suitable for all kinds of use cases. It’s crafted from durable stainless steel and the cutout handle design makes it exceptionally lightweight at just 1.6 ounces and notably easy to carry. On its business end, the knife features a 2.2-inch plain edge, clip point blade that’s ideal for cutting in tight spaces. The blade folds out (a nail nick helps you open it easily), and the frame lock handle keeps it firmly in place when in use. When you’re done, a pocket clip on one side of the handle keeps the Paraframe Mini secure on a tool belt or in a pocket.
Reviewers who have put the Paraframe Mini to the test say its tidy size makes it super useful in all kinds of scenarios. "Fantastic little lightweight knife," one shopper said. "I use this as a bartending tool. Really put these little knives through the paces. This is the third one I've purchased. My fellow bartenders keep stealing them, they're so handy!" Another shopper agreed, saying it's "just the right size for pocket carry."
Other reviewers pointed to the Paraframe Mini’s durability as a major selling point. One shopper called it “a good quality mini knife” and loved its “sturdy” and “compact” build. “This has become my favorite small knife for everyday carry,” said another satisfied shopper. “For being so small and light, it feels quite solid to me. It opens smoothly and has no wiggle in the blade when locked open.”
Massive utility in a tidy, portable package—that’s the magic of the Gerber Paraframe Mini Pocket Knife. And, unlike that bland, overpriced smoothie, this is a $10 purchase you won’t regret (or immediately throw in the trash). Head over to Amazon to pick one up; with thousands selling every month, there’s no telling how long it’ll be in stock, or how long this early Prime Day discount will last.
