COLUMBIA RIVER KNIFE & TOOL CRKT Minimalist Tanto Neck Knife: Compact Fixed Blade Knife, Folts Utility Knife with Bead Blast Blade, Resin Infused Fiber Handle, and Sheath 2386

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.

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 Tanto. The
2-1/8-Inch Tanto blade shape is very strong because of the strong central
spine of metal which extends nearly to the tip. This version has a straight
Razor-Sharp front edge, which allows push cutting, and a concave main edge
which feeds material into the edge for fast cutting. 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.
