Given its price, features, great sheath/lanyard and overall excellent performance it wins itself a solid 10 out of a 10 in my book. I would absolutely put my stamp on the CRKT Minimalist as a knife worth purchasing. It comes in at a very affordable price point and offers something different that its competitors do not. The Minimalist is something different and special on the market. Knife addicts, collectors and EDC fanatics would love this knife, I do believe. And the Lanyard.That thing is just too cool! It's worth $5 on it's own, in my opinion.ĬRKT Minimalist and Recycled Firefighter Nomex Handkerchief It is also very versatile in terms of mounting options. The sheath retains the knife securely, but still allows for easy deployment. The sheath and lanyard provided with the Minimalist is icing on the cake, to an already great knife. The handles aren't the typical G10 or Micarta, but they feel incredible and look great (especially with a little bit of wear on them). It is wicked sharp and holds its edge very well.
While "CrMoV" blade steel isn't typically my favorite from certain brands, CRKT does a nice job with it on the Minimalist. Which is where I believe the CRKT Minimalist shines within the market. There's no denying the quality and value in a hand made product - But some people simply can't afford such an item. There are a lot of custom knife makers out there who make similarly designed (or competitive) knives that easily exceed $100. * As always - we do not advocate for unlawful carry of weapons or criminal behavior.įor starters this knife goes for around $25-30. Due to it's blade style it would be a mean little dude for slicing and shallow stabs. It is small, lightweight, easily concealable and has enough of a guard for your fingers so you're not at risk.

It has a nice small blade and precise point. But I could see this being a nice skinning knife for small game. I am not personally a hunter, due to lack of time. IE: Opening boxes, packages, cutting some light cordage, some whittling at camp, etc. In my opinion this little knife is perfect for utility tasks that you'll encounter throughout your general everyday carry. But this is hands down the most comfortable mini neck knife that i've ever tried. Overall, the ergonomics may take some getting used to for large handed users. For such a small knife this is a great design choice as it adds some stability for the user.But most of all safety, so you're not at risk for running your forefingers into the blade. Additionally, the finger choil that Columbia River added into this blade is a must. There is also a generous amount of gimping on the top side of the little 2" blade, which is a perfect place to rest your thumb while using the Minimalist. And the braided / rat-tail lanyard serves well as a place to anchor your pinky into. But the handle design allows you to get a full 3 finger grip, with the spacious finger grooves.
