CRKTMinimalist Cleaver EDC : Compact Everyday Carry Fixed Blade , Folts Utility Knife with Bead Blast Finish, Resin Infused Fiber Handle, and Sheath 2383

Boyfriend loved this knife. I'm pretty sure he owned 3 of them.

Good little knife

Very nice for such a small design, definitely has its place. Would recommend it

I have relatively large hands, but the deep finger grooves actually make this knife quite comfortable to hold. I feel like I have a good hold of it and can control it well, even with its size. I cut through tuff plastic, metal wire and it held it's edge impeccably. My only critique would be the sheath belt loop. Its not that forgiving when it comes to thicker belts, but should still fit most belts. Overall, it's a great, compact, easy to use, knife and I would recommend even to someone with bigger hands.

The design is killer. Potential to be one of the safest camping and survivalist knives one could get for its size. Two downsides I see:-Bead-blast finish is nice, but prevents the spline from being effectively used as a striker for ferrous rods. A quick run over the back with a sanding bit on my dremel tool, and now it works well at striking a rod.-Metal alloy chosen... Could have done better and picked a more durable alloy. Holds a sharp edge, but not a strong one. Can easily dent, and relatively easily dull under heavy use. Pick something a little harder to sharpen and the edge would last significantly longer. Would have KILLED for a scandia grind, or something similar to aid in accurate sharpening in the field.-Glued cord on base: I initially thought that there was a hole at the base of the handle which the chord had been threaded through and woven to make the knife easier to draw and potentially to grip--thus making it possible that I could cut the present cord off and weave my own on (I was aiming for a monkey's fist using survivorcord) but instead found it to be glued on... Super disappointed.Takeaway:Overall, I love this thing. The fact that it looks like a cleaver is a nice plus, but the advantages to an extended thumb contact along the spline and lack of a tiny pointed tip which could easily snap greatly add to the safety and control in use, while also making the entire length of the blade edge more useful.

Great blade for the kitchen

Really nice quality. The blade is just too small for me.
