CRKT Minimalist Cleaver Outdoor Survival Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Micarta Handle, 2383

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.

Extremely well made and durable knife. Have been using it out in the field and it has proven to be a tough little knife. You obviously won't be chopping down trees with it, but it's a fantastic little fixed blade for those small day to day tasks. Very comfortable to hold and use. The sheath can be used mounted with a lanyard or with the included belt clip. 6 mounting holes means you can get very creative with how you carry it. It retains the knife well and is easy to pull the knife out to use. Only minor complaint is that the attachable belt loop mount is slightly too small for the standard army web/rigger belt. Overall it functions very well, looks great and for the money it's a tough knife to beat.

Arrived very quick. The product is made of good quality material and the blade comes very sharp!

Best in the world !!!

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.

EDC lunch and utility blade I keep in my fanny pack. Small but robust enough to make me happy. I don’t like silly knives that are overkill. The lanyard is meh and the sheath works but is meh. I tethered the sheath off inside my fanny pack and it does its job however.

I was looking for a knife that I could carry horizontally without spending a fortune and looking like a ninja wannabee with some horrid black mid evil looking dagger. I love the look of the clever and the fit in my hand is great! It comes razor sharp and has held up nice. Perfect for cutting but obviously not stabbing anything lol. Buy the knife. The value is great and it has a sort of wonderful novelty to its look at feel. Just be careful and don't cut your feeners off!

I have a couple different ones and these a pretty kool and well made .

alles super

Better than I anticipated. Since the knife is tiny, I thought it would be flimsy and would only be for small tasks. I was wrong. As soon as I held it, I felt the weight. It feels solid and robust. I bought this knife for camping here in Japan. Since it is small and it looks the least intimidating (Doesnt have a pointy end) I think this will be perfect. Whipping out a knife in Japan even in camping is a little scary as you might get reported for breaking the law. But going camping with a bonfire and cooking, it is a must have. So I got this knife as it looks like a toy. Feels good in the hand, and the Micarta handle is pretty.
