Question 1

I don't understand how the knife is rusting for some of the reviewers if it is stainless?  Am I missing something?

Accepted Answer

Do a little research on what defines stainless steel.
A chromium content above 11% is the usual definition.  There are plenty of other elements added to stainless steel to improve wear resistance, hardness or toughness.  They can have adverse effects on how the chromium binds with carbon in the steel.
Not all stainless steels are the same
H1 and LC200N are probably the most rust resistant stainless steels.
CTS XHP while considered a stainless, is not rust resistant.
Guarantee, the junk steel here is probably 300 or 400 grade and not a specialty stainless by Carpenter, Crucible or Bohler.
You get what you pay for.

Question 2

How do you close the knife? Cut my hand trying to do it

Accepted Answer

You just need to push out the left hand side of the frame on the underside of the knife to unlock the blade. It's stiff (as it should be), but can be done with one hand if careful.  (Please see my posted video above)

Question 3

is it lockback?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a locking knife, but not a lockback. "Lockback" means there's a "spring loaded" (torsion bar, actually) locking leaver (rocker bar) located on the spine (back) of the frame which unlocks the blade when pressed. The locking mechanism for this knife is on the side of the frame (it's actually a part of the frame itself), near the pivot (same side as the pocket clip) and must be pulled back to unlock the blade. Since it has no "knob" and does not protrude from the frame, it can be a bit difficult to pull it back (it's very tight). It is very difficult (and not particularly safe) to close this knife with one hand.

Question 4

What is the difference between the gerber paraframe 1 and the paraframe 2?

Accepted Answer

The more expensive one, which I believe is the II is a little larger.   Check size specs on their site.  Otherwise identical.   Pick carefully  - moved to the larger one and it does make a difference depending on if carrying in everyday slacks or in work pants.
