The best knife is almost always the closest knife, so for EDC blades carryability should be the paramount concern. It essentially comes down to size, weight, and transport options (clips, hooks, etc.) — all areas in which this Gerber Gearfolding knife that’s currently on sale at Walmart really excels.
The Gerber Gear Paraframe 2.2-Inch Folding Knife is just $20 at Walmart. It’s a noticeably compact and light knife with a clip that facilitates secure storage and convenient travel. It’s hard to imagine a more carryable knife at a better price.
The slim, open-frame design of the Paraframe is the first thing you notice about it, and it’s a big part of what makes this knife so light, just 2.8 ounces. The plain-edged blade is small, at just 2.2 inches long, but still plenty big enough to do the vast majority of what you might need a pocket knife to do. It’s made of titanium-coated stainless steel, a durable material that will stay sharp over periods of extended use. Dual thumb studs make opening this knife a breeze, while the integrated pocket clip allows for a variety of carry styles.

One shopper called this “a great little pocket knife” for two principal reasons. “The blade is extremely sharp with an edge that holds for a long time,” while “the clip fits very snugly, so I don’t worry about it slipping out unnoticed.”
Another customer wrote that this knife “feels solid, of exceptional quality, very sharp, nice looking, and exceptionally lightweight.”
