Product Description

Product Description

Specifically built for anything that needs to be cut. These compact fixed blade neck knives with tough handles come in a variety of different blade styles. In the woods or around the house they feel equally at home.

They’re designed by Alan Folts of Melbourne, FL. A designer and dedicated custom knife instructor with over 20 years' experience, he cares deeply about helping folks learn about knives as tools, and passing along the skills of custom knife making to others.

These svelte dynamos pack a lot into their compact fixed blade knife designs. Available in plain edge Wharncliffe, tanto and Bowie style blades, they rip through a variety of cutting tasks better than most knives of comparable size. You owe it to yourself to see how something so compact can come up so big with such great control.

Let your first two fingers take hold of the polished resin infused fiber handle. Wrap the last two around the cord fob for extra grip. Then see where you can go with it from there. You'll find it's tough to argue against the value of having a knife along with you, especially one as versatile and comfortable as the Minimalist. It's slim in design only, not features.

They all come with a versatile carry sheath. Not that you'll be keeping them in there for long.

Take your favorite with you for when you might need it most—all of the time.

From the Manufacturer

Alan Folts is a knife maker and metalworker in Greenville, N.C., who makes a remarkable range of custom objects, including titanium chopsticks. His Minimalist neck knives have proven to be very popular, so we are now offering three CRKT production versions. They are very small and lightweight knives which give surprising comfort and control, thanks to the unusual geometry of the full-tang blades, aided by three finger choils, friction grooves for the thumb, hand-contoured green-black Micarta scales, and a braided fob. Unlike many small neck knives, this handle is really functional for a wide variety of daily cutting tasks. Each Minimalist comes with a custom-fitted Zytel sheath and neck paracord for inverted carry as a neck knife. The knife is held securely in place by a positive detent which locks the base of the blade in place for maximum safety. Because the knife and sheath weigh about two ounces together, it is a personal carry you will barely notice. Minimalist Bowie. We offer this deep-bellied clip-point Bowie style 2-1/8-Inch blade for those who desire a classic hunting knife blade shape. The Minimalist Bowie makes a great wilderness carry, and can be used for camp chores, cooking, and even skinning and dressing in a pinch. It is also an excellent survival knife. True to their name, these really are minimal fixed blades, but they are also the most useful for their size that we have seen. And they are certainly a great value, which explains why the Minimalist family continues to grow.

Compact and Sharp
Note: I ordered a "Used - Like New" product. It definitely looks brand new!This is a compact, but super sharp knife! I removed the belt clip as it was so small as to be virtually useless - I ordered it to be a neck-knife, anyway. This does NOT come with string for a necklace, but you can easily use paracord or get some leather cordage from a craft store. The holster is very tight, and while there's no security-latch, it takes a decent amount of effort to slide it out and back in. It's not going to accidentally fall out of the holster! The grip is perfect for my smaller hands. I wanted something lighter and more easily accessible for hiking and backpacking. I sometimes need to slice cheese or summer sausage, and this fits the bill perfectly.I tested it on a piece of paper, and it cut through nicely. And I already accidentally sliced my thumb on it (was putting it away, and my thumb wasn't quite out of the way, stupid learning moment). It's a nice, clean slice that will heal in a day or two - it's that sharp!
