Finger grooves on the handle and jimping on the spine improve control during use, and the attached lanyard further helps with grip and retrieval. ![]() A small hole near the tip of the blade harkens back to old kitchen cleavers that were hung on hooks by chefs. It’s made of 5cr15MoV, an easy to sharpen, corrosion resistant steel found in kitchen knives and scissors. The bead-blasted 2.125“ blade comes with a full tang mated to green micarta handles which provide good traction even when wet. This latest iteration of the Folts Minimalist features a cleaver-style blade that is good for chopping and slicing, while maintaining a more utilitarian and less aggressive look, perfect for keeping a low profile while using the knife in public. The Minimalist series of knives from CRKT are a collaboration with custom knife designer Alan Folts, renowned for his focus on everyday usability and comfortable ergonomics in his designs. If you've wanted to see what all pocket cleaver hype is about but need a fixed blade, the CRKT Minimalist Cleaver makes for a viable and more affordable alternative to custom-made options for your EDC. That's why CRKT took their popular neck knife, the Minimalist, and updated it with an on-trend cleaver blade. ![]() While these pocket cleavers have generally been available as folding knives, sometimes you need a fixed blade to get the job done - especially in the outdoors. They bring their own unique utility out from the kitchen to many EDCers’ pockets, whether it’s general cutting tasks or food prep around the campfire. Cleaver-style blades that you can actually carry have been coming back in a big way over the past couple years. ![]()
