Amazon has been rolling out awesome sales on top-rated Gerber pocket knives like the Prybrid and EAB Lite, but for October's Prime Big Deal Days, the retailer is looking back into the brand’s storied collection of excellent blades and offering up a deal on the most iconic—the Paraframe I—and it's the lowest price we've seen in over a year.
The Gerber Paraframe I Pocket Knife is on sale for $19 during October Prime Day—a 46% discount on its normal price of $35. This lightweight, open-frame stainless steel knife is extremely popular, having earned over 16,000 five-star ratings from everyday carry and knife enthusiasts who call it “a badass knife” for its “light, sturdy, and sharp” design. The Paraframe I is available in several colors and also comes in a serrated version, but this model offers the biggest discount.

The Gerber Paraframe I features a unique open-frame handle design that's as practical as it is cool-looking. The lightweight handle is made from stainless steel, and it’s paired with a 3-inch fold-out, plain-edge blade crafted from high-carbon stainless steel. The blade has a thumb knob to help you open it smoothly, and a frame lock keeps the blade firmly in place, so it won’t wobble or accidentally fold up when in use. It's designed for maximum portability: The handle has a pocket clip for toting on a pair of pants or a belt, and the whole package weighs just 2.6 ounces.
Knife enthusiasts are a finicky bunch, but reviewers have come to a clear consensus on the Paraframe I: It’s great. One shopper attested that it offers “durability that you can count on” and said that after a quick run through a sharpener, it becomes “as sharp as any factory knife, even at double the price.” Another agreed, saying, “This blade comes with an excellent build quality for such an affordable price.”
One shopper summed it up like this: “If you need an everyday carry, this knife is a good choice. Affordable, light weight, minimalistic, and it works.”
Great inexpensive pocket knives are all over Amazon, but during October Prime Day, you can scoop up one of the most iconic in the Gerber Paraframe I for less than $20. Make sure to get yours before the sale ends on Oct. 9 because prices are subject to bounce back up.
