IF you’re after a handy multi-tool or fine edged blade that will easily fit into a pocket, tackle box, or backpack you should check out a couple of products from renowned outdoor products manufacturer, Gerber.
Paraframe Mini Stainless Steel Fine-edge Blade
Gerber has designed the Paraframe Mini Knife to be your ultimately, highly-effective and compact day-to-day companion.
The Paraframe is the smallest of the eight knives in the Paraframe series and is based on the same frame-lock design as its bigger predecessors. The use for a fine-edge blade has never been more profound. Maybe it’s some tough packaging that needs that extra effort, or some pesky string and tags on a recent purchase, the Paraframe Mini has it all covered. It’s also the ideal companion for fishing and camping trips when reliable cutting tools are always in high demand.
The simple open frame knife is lightweight and easy to clean. It opens effortlessly and securely locks in place so there’s no danger when carrying it in your pocket. Gerber has long been the leaders in versatile, sturdy knives. As such, they’ve reinforced the Paraframe Mini with a stainless steel handle and a tough pocket clip for secure travel.
Featuring a compact blade measuring 6cm and an overall knife length of 15cm, the Paraframe Mini is what a small everyday carry folder should be with uses spanning across all facets of life. RRP: $22.95.
Gerber’s latest multi-tool, the Dime is a compact and lightweight utility gadget that’s as essential to your pocket as the spare change you need for your morning coffee.
Gerber boasts a huge range of multi-tools, all with applications spanning across outdoor, camping, military and everyday life. The Dime is a pocket-sized tool that’s ultra-lightweight and jam packed with a total of 10 individual tools, ideal for a variety of everyday situations. Taking the standard key-chain multi-tool and ramping it up a notch, the Gerber Dime is designed to be taken with you where ever you go, so you’ll never be left in the lurch again.
Like any good multi-tool, the Dime features a sturdy bottle-opener that remains exposed even when the tool is closed. Two drivers, a flat-head and Phillips-head , are there for any emergency DIY quick fixes that need your immediate attention. Personal hygiene on the go is also easy thanks to the file and tweezers, which can also come in handy should you find yourself dealing with an annoyingly painful splinter.
The pliers are spring loaded for easy operation and also feature wire cutters for precision cutting. Never one to let packaging or paper get the better of you, Gerber has fitted the Dime with a fine-edge blade, spring loaded scissors and a retail package opener to cover all your bases.
Available in a discreet matte black, or vibrant green, red and purple colour options and measuring just over 6cm when closed, the Gerber Dime is the most valuable change you’re likely to find. RRP: $34.95
