CRKT Minimalist® Katana

The CRKT Minimalist® Katana is a design by Alan Folts that focuses just as much on control as it does capability. With a larger blade than the original Minimalist®, this model follows closely behind it, yet you may still enjoy its lightweight, portable design for all-around adaptability.

The three-finger grip handle demonstrates that this is a true Minimalist®. From his Facebook community group, Alan gained inspiration for the Minimalist® Katana, and he set out to elevate the Minimalist® and its fan-favorite features to a whole new level.

Its 3.56″ length makes it the longest blade in the Minimalist® series and it is made of high-carbon stainless steel. The blade handles utility tasks on the fly or in the workshop thanks to an update that makes it somewhat thinner towards the belly and more chiselled towards the tip.

The thicker ground below the blade’s point, which was designed for precision, helps it to easily slide through objects. The polished fibre handle with resin infusion is constructed with ergonomic choils for a secure grip. You can quickly connect a multipurpose sheath to equipment or a belt because it can function as a neck knife.

Hold on firmly. The Minimalist® is at it once more.
