Ok, I want a knife and I'm between this and the "GERBER 31-001734 Paraframe II Tanto Knife"... Which one is bigger? (I have large hands)
2085912
Not sure about that. Look at the description to see size of knife folded. I like the Gerber I have three different ones. Hope this helps. I do have large hands.

I wear large to xtra large gloves and the evo large fits in my hand. I don't know about the para frame or the para frame 2. But they look like they're about the same.

i have the para, and the evo. the evo has a thicker more substantial handle, although thin in width. the para has a thinner handle but wider width. out of the 2, id say that the para is a better grip from your thumb pad to fingers. that said, the para frame is split and bent to form the linear lock, where as the evo is a far superior build, with a built in linear locking mechanism. so........... take your pick. theyre both great knives!

I have the EVO Large Tanto and, while I don't have the Paraframe II, I would bet the Paraframe II is bigger. I measured the width of the Evo at its widest point on the handle: closed it's 1", open it's 7/8". The blade is 7/8" wide at the base where it is widest. I actually really like the thin form-factor cause I can fit it in my pocket and take it everywhere - it has been super useful and there's enough room in my pocket for this knife and my cell phone. I have a friend with the smaller version of this knife and I found it to be too small for my tastes.

serrations are the same. one is tanto the other isnt. both similar. both have thin weak liner locks so be careful

I have two of the tanto versions. The advantage of the tanto is a much stronger point and blade. They also come sharp from the factory.I've owned two double edges and they were both dull (I'm not good at sharpening knives). In person the double edge looks kind of funky.The large handle seems to dwarf the blade. They also give you the same sheath as the tanto??? If stabbing and back-cut capabilities are whatyou are looking for and you can sharpen a knife, the double edge is your knife. If blade and point strength, looks, versatility, and out of the box sharpness are what you want, get the tanto version I have two of the tanto versions.

Richard, I'm sorry it took so long to get back on this. Yes, like Edward said, it should be good. I've got an old Gerber BMF in mine, and it's around 8", just under 1 1/2" wide, and 1/4 thick. It fits nicely, with some wiggle room side to side.

Yes, this is the XL version 4" blade.I don't know the size of the regular( possibly 3",3.25") This one is by far one of my favorite Spyderco knives. The blade is razor sharp and the knife fits well in the hand.

Try this if you want a smaller knife. Many companies make this knife, apparently so finding one can't be too hard. The one I found here on Amazon is comparable to the shape and size of the Laserlyte Pistol Bayonet and is an Amazon Prime item. Just type this into the search bar:G.I. Style Pilots Survival KnifeI hope this is a better answer than just a simple "NO".

Well I can't speak for the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Knife because I have never owned one. But I can tell you the SOG is an amazing knife, I don't regret the purchase at all. In fact I have 2 of these and 2 of the "pup" versions of this knife.

I have no expirence with Spyderco products, always seem to me tip would easily break as the are rather "pointy"I have both large and small Rat Folders, the large is in a sheath on my 511 tac bag, the small I carry in a pocket and rotate it out with a Benchmade auto. I got turned onto AUS8A steel several years ago by Jeff Randall the designer of the Rat series. I think I have one fixed blade and three liner locks make in that steel. All my blades are standard edge. For me sereations don't work anymore. When I was a Firefighter/Paramedic partially sereated was ok, but still carried plain edge most of the time. The decision is yours, decide the use in the long term...RegardsR.StegerKy I have no expirence with Spyderco products, always seem to me tip would easily break as the are rather "pointy"I have both large and small Rat Folders, the large is in a sheath on my 511 tac bag, the small I carry in a pocket and rotate it out with a Benchmade auto.

Yes, there is space it's not really a bad knife but the issue I have with it is the lawks system, if it did away with this it would be an exceptional knife. But the lawks system completely locked the knife rendering it a fixed blade. I would seriously consider another crkt product or something else.... Kershaw is not to bad for the price range of these knives.... I guess I was to hard on the m16 but my benchmade, Spyderco, microtech, Kershaw, and other have held up to such abuse.... All in what you want and what you are using it for!

I had one of those original Black Widow boot knives and I've had Gerber boot knife, both of them were the same dimensions as this knife. My bet is it will fit in your sheath if it's the standard size and not a smaller 4" boot knife.

Although I have both, I prefer the 102 is it is smaller, its blade is thinner and narrower which in my mind makes it a more useful and versatile knife. The 119 is a cool knife also but it is very large and stout. I do love the brown handle versus the black, it is worth the extra cost in my view.

It is a nice knife for the money though...I love the finger hole. I have big hands and it fit me perfectly. I just had alot of neck knives and gave it to a friend because he was admiring it.

I had both but kept only the Rat1. It is a great knife without even considering the price. The tenacious is not as tough and not as comfortable.

Pretty sure it's the "small" ones. I use the "large" in my old Tinker, and it's a standard sized folder knife. The Executive is built on the smaller frame, which is why I think the "small" size would be the way to go for you.

Hard to really compare the those 2 knives. I will start by saying I own both Spyderco and ZT. I have a Spyderco Native, Pacific Salt, Manix 2, and Byrd Cara Cara 2 g10, Byrd Hawkbill. So, I like what I like, I'm not a brand hater. That being said I like the ZT 0350 better. I fits my needs better. More of a working fit, with edc carrying capabilities. I like bigger knives better. I like the weight feels right too me. I like the blade size better. It's a wide, thick blade, not too long so when I need to work up on the tip of the blade it feels better, not too long. Plus it's American made. In short Spyderco Police 3 - majors in reach (great long knife, over a 4 inch blade). Good self-defense knife Minors in work (blade is long and thin, hard to work up on the knife). I would be afraid I would break the tip. Good intimidation factor. ZT 0350ts - Majors in work (great user length knife, solid wide blade.) I like the weight Minors in reach ( not a super long knife 3 1/4", fast deployment though, handle shape is really easy to grip) I like the ergonomics. Tiger stripe gets a wow a lot so far.I think it sets it apart from all my silver or black knives. ZT 0350 TS is better (in my opinion)

Not sure what Gerber you have but my Gerber & Kershaw are easier to open but what more to you want from a cheaper knife

I like Spyderco - very good knife and may actually carry better when wearing dress slacks. For me, comes down to personal preference. I carry my ZT more often because I prefer the speed opening and it fits my hand better. Either knife is a great choice IMHO.
