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. Review: Great knife, easy to get used to. - I picked up this knife with no prior experience with any knives made by this company. Since I was kid, I loved knives. I fished off the beaches and boats of Sheepshead Bay, always using one knife or another. Like most people with little knife experience, bigger was better. My first fishing knife was one of those survival knives that was hollow. You filled it with SURVIVAL GEAR then butchered every bait or fish you managed to catch. Somehow I learned to filet the delicate flounder that we regularly caught, but as I grew up, I realized that a knife didn't have to be big to be effective. I love to hunt and fish, especially fly fish, which is where I learned that bigger is not better. My best trout, a ten pound wild rainbow was caught on a size 18 royal coachman. I subsequently butchered the fish with my gigantic survival knife. A guide I hired the next year pulled this tiny neck knife out and magically filleted a smaller brookie I managed to fool into taking another of my flies this becoming an amazing brookside lunch. He was also an avid hunter and when I inquired about the small knife, he told me that his tiny kneck knife was responsible for skinning dozens of deer and wild game. A few years ago I started to hunt again. I saw this knife, the Bowie and thought I'd give it a whirl. Sadly my hunting skills aren't as good as the quality of my knife. However, I use it exclusively to skin all of my kills and at times, depending on the size of the game, i'll use it to butcher the animal. It works like a charm and needs minimal sharpening. Now i'm not saying i'd break down a black bear, moose, elk or even a white tail, but i'm convinced that this Bowie could handle the task. I do prefer my Chinese stainless steel meat cleaver for heavier tasks. That chops right through bone and grizzle like a champ. But on smaller game, squirrel, rabbit, frogs and some pan fish, this is the only knife I use. It's great for whittling walking sticks, also a hobby, although it is quite sharp and has drawn its share of blood from my fingers. My son decided that he wants to join me this year so I decided to get him his own neck knife. When i showed it to him, his first reaction was to scoff and reach for his own ten inch survival knife. After some instruction, he fell in love with MY knife and I practically had to pry it from his hands. So now he'll have his own. He's "BORROWED" mine on several occasions to take to work. He is a union bridge painter and uses his Gerber pocket knife I got him several years ago for the smaller tasks. But after seeing how this little work horse cuts through thick tarp and heavy rope with little effort, I felt it was his turn to own his own. My only negative, although not enough to detract any stars, is the length of paracord. It's cheap and can be very dangerous. I immediately replaced it with a length of American military paracord and rather than tie a knot in the back, thus ensuring a perfect noose to hang oneself from, I used a breakaway necklace fastener to close the paracord together. Yes, it's not as strong as a paranoid knot, but dangling from a neck knife cord until I saw the bright light is not what I consider a good time. I understand that there is now a chance for it to open and fall from my neck, but I fixed that by pulling out a six inch length of single strand paracord from the inside of a leftover length of cord. I tie a knot on either side of the clasp and should I become entangled in it, it has a fifty pound breaking strength. Possibly more, but not enough to hang me or my son. In not so sure of the sheath yet. I've worn it dozens of times without any failure, but I just have little trust in plastic. I read where someone used a hair dryer to tighten the fit. Personally I do not believe a hair dryer has enough heat, so tomorrowi'll break out my paint stripping heat gun. Let that form a tighter seal so I feel more secure. If I ruin it, i'll just put it in my sons box and blame desertcart. Then come up with a dozen excuses as to not return it. Then a few screws, some duct tape and it's good as new. If your in the market for a good reliable neck knife that can pull double duty cutting rope, fish, pesky neighbors tires(I'M JOKING. THEY ALL HAVE CAMERAS. Geesh, lighten up. It's not like they wouldn't know who I was, even if I wore a mask. If you ever saw me you'd understand immediately) Get this knife. Get two. I've never beaten on the knife to split wood, so if you're going to do that, maybe that ole hollow ten inch survival knife is the knife for you. But if you want a sharp reliable knife, get this and get it quick. The survival of the free world depends on you buying this knife. Or not. You won't (shouldn't. There's always that one guy who is never satisfied regardless of how amazing a product turns out) regret it. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX January 18th 2021. I've had this knife for some time now and would like to update my review. I have a rustic house in Vermont on 34 acres that I hunt and seem to constantly be fixing or adapting something new within the cabin. I was turkey hunting last spring then small game during the summer then Chucky bear and deer hunting in the winter time. No I wish I was a good a hunter is the snipers, because I got shut out by every animal, except the small game. The neck knife hung from my neck the entire year when I was up there. I have a nail in one of the beams and as soon as I leave I take it off and hang it and as soon as I return and replace it around my neck, and there it stays the whole time I’m in my house. I carry a Gerber pocket knife with a half serrated and half street blade That I keep razor sharp with my rat tail files and wet stones. It seems that I use that knife several times a day nearly every day. Just for household chores or something in my backyard where I live or just basic rope cutting and helping my little shop where I try to build things with all my tools. When I get to my house in Vermont, the Gerber knife really comes out of my pocket. but I use The neck knife probably a dozen times a day. To cut cardboard for the burn pile to make my walking sticks, which every time I go up there I make a new stick. I called the therapy, and I gave a decent stick out of it each time. I have very large hands very large fingers and my first three fingers barely fit in the three holes on the knife, but it’s a good enough fit where I’ve only cut myself once and that was my fault. As the saying goes no knife is yours, until you spills your own blood on it. And sadly most of my lives of mine because I have a tendency of cutting myself. I’ve skinned out dozens of squirrels rabbits another small game this year. Butchering the birds to remove the bones so I can smoke the birds whole without the bones. On a normal knife that with the blade within minutes, but I literally just tested my knife and it was able to shave the hair of my arm. I got it in scaled over 100 fish this summer and countless small game and the knife is like brand new. The sheath is still as tight as it was from day one, but I also check it regularly to make sure that is still tight. I’m not sure with the power cord in the end of the knife is meant for but it doesn’t seem to get in the way or affect me in anyway. I wouldn’t count on it to help me in survival situation, but I guess it’s nice to have a little bit of string just in case. After opening up my Walmart app, this knife was the first item displayed. The price was nearly double as that on desertcart and it had terrible reviews. I know better, I read every review when I buy a product from desertcart in this many times that I’ve disagreed with the reviews as I did with the Walmart reviews. because it was brought to my attention again, I think it’s time to buy several more, in case I break them or lose them. I have a tendency to overwork my tools. I’ve use this knife to chip out rocks that run through my property and again it’s still as sharp as when I was taken from the box. Buy this knife. by two. Then double it in by four because anybody who sees it is going to want one. I have several neck knives that I bought and those are hanging on the wall in the garage. None of them get any time except for one that I like to use the scale fish. Discover larger profile blade that scales fish quickly. The snow foot skills fish as well, but it’s a small knife so it takes much longer to Scale large fish. This may not be the best knife, but it’s the best night for me, and I’ll use it to a day I die and I want to be buried with it. Review: The best little neck knife - Love this little neck knife! It fits in my hand perfectly and comes very sharp right out of the box. I am so happy with it. I’m a cook so it works great for many little tasks and stays in the sheath under my apron. It’s convenient and handy to use. I recommend this highly. ## Features - Easy To Sharpen: High carbon stainless steel blade takes an edge well - Minimizes Reflectivity: Bead blast finish reduces reflection - Strong and Visual: resin infused fiber handle combines strength with visual appeal - Gear Compatible: Durable thermoplastic sheath with mounting options - Compact Utility: Lightweight and easy to carry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0030IT76C | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,124 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #3 in Fixed-Blade Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 1.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Clip Point | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Bowie | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,470) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00794023238709, 99794023238703 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Resin Infused Fiber | | Included Components | CRKT 2387, Pamphlet | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 5.13 Inches | | Item Type Name | MINIMALIST® BOWIE | | Item Weight | 46 Grams | | Manufacturer | Columbia River Knife & Tool | | Model Name | Minimalist® Bowie | | Model Number | 2387 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Hunting, Skinning | | Reusability | Disposable | | Special Features | Full Tang, Ergonomic Handle, Non-Slip Grip, Lightweight | | Style | Bowie | | Theme | Outdoor/Survival | | UPC | 794023238709 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Bowie - **Handle Material:** Resin Infused Fiber - **Included Components:** CRKT 2387, Pamphlet - **Model Name:** Minimalist® Bowie - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Hunting, Skinning - **Special Feature:** Full Tang, Ergonomic Handle, Non-Slip Grip, Lightweight - **Style:** Bowie ## Images ![CRKT Minimalist Bowie Outdoor Survival Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Micarta Handle, 2387 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-DgI-LPFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these knives made in USA or China?** A: Made in China, but you can occasionally find the USA-made Alan Folts' shopmade custom versions for around $150. They're also in a much better 154CM steel. However, it seems he hasn't made one in some time, and has largely focused on folders. **Q: Say I were want to carry is upside down from Pals/ Molle webbing, does anyone have a recommened way? Just 550 cord or small zipties?** A: it has 550 cord holes and fo-550 cord neck less, this is the best way to strap it on. Having said that do not carry it with the hilt down like it is designed. The knife will fall out quickly and you will either lose it or have it stab you depending on where you place it. The sheath is ok for casual civilian where but even then I've lost two of them, put it any environment like hunting or even worse deployment and it will be gone in a few moments. **Q: how long is the knife? handle & length ?** A: I love it. I have it around my neck right now. I am 6'1" 300+ lbs. and feels great in my hand. It has a 2.1 in. bowie blade made form 5Cr15MoV steel with a hand contoured resin and fiber handle with a braided fob. Overall length is 5.13 in. Includes a 2.5 in. glass filled nylon sheath. ATTRIBUTES Blade Detail: Plain Blade Length (inches): 2.125 Blade Material: 5Cr15MoV Carry System: Neck Lanyard Handle Material: Micarta Overall Length (inches): 5.13 **Q: Does the sheath have good retention (no accidental loss of knife) for both clip and neck carry? Does it keep this retention over time?** A: I've had mine for 5 years, carried it around my neck for that time as well. The ONLY time it has come loose from the sheath was when I was doing jump rope in the police academy. One time in 5 years under pretty rough jumping because I suck at jumping rope. This knife, for me, has been so dependable I sleep with it every night. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife, easy to get used to. *by T***S on May 25, 2018* I picked up this knife with no prior experience with any knives made by this company.

It’s convenient and handy to use. I recommend this highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ beautiful little knife *by A***N on May 13, 2012* I had been looking for a good little neck knife for some time when I happened to find these minimalist knives designed by Alan Folts. I couldn't make up my mind about the blade but finally opted for the Bowie with no regrets. Strikes me as a bit more versatile than the Wharncliffe, even if the Wharncliffe does have an aesthetic appeal. But this is a mighty fine little knife. The sheath fits it snugly and I don't worry about the knife coming loose even when it hangs upside down. A word of caution though. You can get this puppy out with one hand if you use your thumb for leverage against the open end of the sheath. Just make sure you're doing so with your thumb facing the thick side of the blade, and the best way to do that, a way you could do it with your eyes closed, is to always make sure your fingers are saddled in the grips first before you pry it loose with your thumb. But you knew that already. Probably. Heck of a way to get a look at the inside of your thumb, what with all the imaging technology available these days. Not that there's any more risk of that with this particular knife. But I digress. The grips are wonderfully made to saddle the shape of my first three fingers and provide a sure hold. Bear in mind this is a small knife, and the handle only spans about three quarters of my palm. If you have small hands it might run all the way across, but then your fingers would sit loosely in the contours. It strikes me as a little knife made for a medium to large hand. It's not a fighting knife, but would work in a last-ditch pinch. You could remove the tether and slip it in your boot. I put it in my pocket and it fit nicely and was less obtrusive than the folding blade I normally carry. A word about the tether though. It isn't break-away. Get that caught in some machinery, or in the wrong hands, and you'll be full of regrets. I'm trying to think of a way to put a little weakness in it somewhere so that it will give if necessary, but not so much that it gives when I pop it free of the sheath, which does require a bit of force. Also this thing is light, as if you can't tell from the specs. I forget it's there. And the blade is pretty stout, maintaining the full thickness of the tang not only halfway up its backside, but also along its bottom, right over where your index finger sits. One final thing, when I got it, I noticed that the contours of the sheath made it look like it was the sheath for the tanto model, and I thought, *&%!, they sent me the wrong sheath. But then I got online under google images and found several pictures of the Bowie with its sheath and they were all like that. Enough said. But don't get just one. ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT Minimalist Bowie Neck : Compact Fixed Blade Knife, Folts Utility with Bead Blast Blade, Resin Infused Fiber Handle, and Sheath 2387 - UltiClip Slim 3.3 - ULTICLIP SLIM 2.2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1943720-crkt-minimalist-bowie-outdoor-survival-fixed-blade-knife-with-sheath](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1943720-crkt-minimalist-bowie-outdoor-survival-fixed-blade-knife-with-sheath) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
