CRKT Compact Fixed Blade Knife: Minimalist Black Drop Point, Folts Utility Knife with Stonewashed Blade, G10 Handle and Nylon Sheath 2384K

I bought this about 2 years ago and have used it nearly daily since then. I carry this as a neck knife - originally worn on the supplied cord lanyard, and eventually I replaced the cord with a chain. Wearing it on a lanyard keeps it immediately available. I also carry a folding knife in my pocket, but I tend to use THIS knife for most of my daily needs due to it being right there on the lanyard hanging at my chest. I find it easy to pull the knife from the sheath and reseat it back into the sheath one-handed. Despite being drawn from the sheath and replaced several times a day every day for the past (nearly) 2 years, it still clicks into the sheath securely every time. The short grip makes it less useful (to me) for heavy use, but it's been perfect for daily light duty such as opening and breaking down packages, cutting small cordage, etc. The drop-point blade works well for slicing, cutting, and piercing. The edge has held up well, and takes resharpening well. I also like the look of it - the black blade and black grip. Though, I realize that is a subjective personal preference.

Very nice little EDC boot neck or belt knife. Sharp out of the box

I now own three knives in the CRKT Minimalist Series. I like them all, but this one is my favorite. I work in a warehouse and needed a knife for various uses, but primarily for opening boxes and cutting cardboard. I originally bought the Minimalist Bowie, and loved the light weight and how the finger grooved handle fit my hand, but the blade shape wasn't ideal for using the tip to pierce tape on boxes (tip curved up a little too much), and also wasn't great for cutting cardboard due to the short length and curve of the blade. I then purchased the Minimalist Wharncliffe, thinking that the blade shape would be better and everything else would be the same. Unfortunately, the handle on the Wharncliffe model is smaller and has significantly less girth. It didn't fit my hands nearly as well, so it wasn't the perfect knife for me either. I don't know if this drop point model is newer than the other two I own, but for some reason I only noticed it recently, so I figured I'd give it one more try. Just as I'd hoped, this model is exactly what I'd been looking for. It has the larger handle like the Bowie model, but the blade shape is much better and works perfectly for the warehouse tasks I need it for. I wear it on my belt, with the handle down, and it's so light and small that I don't even notice it. The only downside is that the drop point model doesn't fit as tightly in the sheath as either of the other models I tried. It still feels pretty secure when you sheath it, but it doesn't have the satisfying click of the other two models to give me as much peace of mind. I may have to change the orientation of the blade on my belt if this becomes an issue, but so far it hasn't been a problem. It could just be an issue with the particular sheath I received, so others may have less of an issue. The knife is great, though, and I will be carrying it every day.

Arrived with a nice edge, which it has maintained. Comfortable in scout carry, easy enough to deploy. Good for EDC and daily use. Definitely a great knife for the price point.

great lil knife; very sharp, comfortable in hand, nice weight for its size, sheath retention is great. it has become my new edc. my only issue is the belt loop; i’d much rather prefer a clip, instead of having to undo my belt to put on/take off sheath

So far so good. Great quality, light weight, super sharp out the box, and great sheath. Wish it had a clip instead of a belt loop attachment.

These knifes (minimalist) are really the best. They are a great value and have a great feel. The size is small but not to small, they are light weight and look amazing on your hip. Everyone at work asks me about them. Pro tip- if you buy two you can use the two belt holsters on one knife to give a variety of carry styles!

Beautiful knife. Fits well in the hand, and on the belt. I've bought 3 of them and would buy them again.

Que puedo decir de esta hermosura, viene muy filosa, es muy ligera, tiene un agarre excepcional, queda perfecta en la funda, es muy discreta, su estética es de 10. Puede ser usada para defensa aún con su pequeño cuerpo puede infringir mucho daño, para edc es buena opción aunque es pequeña.

Le design est réussi, le couteau tient très bien en main malgré sa taille réduite et assure une prise forte et confortable. C'est un défaut récurrent des couteaux de cou, la prise en main est souvent trop faible à cause de la longueur réduite du manche si l'on doit forcer pour couper, en l'occurrence, cela n'est pas le cas; la prise en main est meilleure que sur tous les autres necks knifes que je possède. La lame est tranchante dés la sortie de boite, adaptée pour des petits travaux EDC ou pour la défense personnelle, trés précise au niveau de la pointe pour les petits travaux du quotidien. Peut être porté très discrètement à la ceinture ou au cou sous une chemise, la finition est excellente et sans défauts.

Awesome

Ottimo neck knife

Nice mini blade. Extremely concealable. Fit and finish on my example was great. Alan Folts did a great job on the minimalist line
